Jack Curry advises caution because Jack Curry thinks that this post will
make everyone but Gus crazy and so Jack Curry thinks ya'll should quit
reading now, before you get dizzy and blow chunks.

Jack Curry thinks Gus should cook barbecue or whatever any way Gus wants to
but Jack Curry don't do it the way Gus does because Jack Curry think that
Jack Curry learned from many members of this ng how to cook barbecue in the
time-honored and traditional way, which Jack Curry think much better than
Gus way but that just Jack Curry thought and Gus think Gus way better for
Gus so Gus do barbecue Gus way.

Jack Curry think pecan wonderful smokewood, sort of hickory light. Jack
Curry think pecan like any wood can be overdo, but if pecan let burn down to
thin wispy blue smoke, like Jack Curry do with all wood before Jack Curry
put food in smoker, Jack Curry get no creosote or acrid taste on Jack Curry
food. Jack Curry learn this from Hound (RIP), Big Jim, Fat Man, Kevin, Ed,
Brick, Monroe, Dale, Tyler, Bruce, Schidt, Bugg, Sloan, Alan Z, Nick, Louis,
the FAQ and many others, thank you all. Jack Curry learn all about barbecue
here after 30 years of doing barbecue wrong. Now Jack Curry barbecue pretty
good unless Jack Curry get Jack Curry drunk and not pay attention to Jack
Curry cooking. Otherwise, Jack Curry barbecue pretty good Jack Curry says.

Jack Curry don't foil barbecue until barbecue done cooking and then foil
only to let barbecue rest because Jack Curry like nice bark on barbecue.
Jack Curry think foil cooking ruin bark, but that Gus like his foil
barbecue, fine with Jack Curry. Gus "customers" like Gus barbecue, Gus
happy, Jack Curry happy.

Jack Curry never hear of professional barbecue cooked in pot. Jack Curry
think pot barbecue wierd. Jack Curry barbecue cooked in smoker Jack Curry
want smoke in food. Jack Curry think smoke food taste good, don't need pot,
don't need foil.

Jack Curry think aluminum foil wood chunks nice way to make wood smolder,
especially in Kamado. One fist-size chunk emit nice thin blue smoke for
long time. Jack Curry think aluminum no problem, Jack Curry cook in
aluminum pot sometime but not barbecue.

Jack Curry developing "Secret Barbecue Cooking Method" Jack Curry call
"Third Person Perfect Method," better than everybody else method Jack Curry
says. Way better, Jack Curry says, but Jack Curry won't tell how, just say,
"Third Person Perfect Method" so much better "Third Person Perfect Method"
make you cry like baby and slap you mama, you ever try "Third Person Perfect
Method." Too bad Jack Curry can't tell about "Third Person Perfect Method"
for you. Jack Curry say, substitute any other method instead. Jack Curry
say it won't be as good as "Third Person Perfect Method," but that's ok.

Jack Curry like new Gus writing style not much, but Jack Curry wants to make
it easy for Gus to understand, so Jack Curry do it this once. Jack Curry
not feels so well now. Jack Curry welcome Gus to ng but Jack Curry prolly
not have much more to say to Gus because Gus new writing style turn Jack
Curry green.
