Kind of like people avoid you in real life.

The problem for the rest of us is you *don't* ignore them.

And it will.


I'm glad that I have a Weber Kettle, an adequate supply of hickory,
cherry and peach woods, and am not too lazy to use them. *Perhaps some
of you like the liquid smoke crockpot junk because it reminds you of
the food at the cafeterias where senior citizens congregate.

You should get as real smoker, Bryan. They have some very good
electric ones now. *Can't smoke ribs (or anything else!) for 8-10
hours on a Weber kettle, but you can in a smoker.

Although with that "best BBQed chicken I ever had", I think we were
pushing *the time limit!! ;-)


I'm more interested in wood grilling than long smoking. I cook beef
steaks rare, but still get a lot of smoky goodness onto them. For
chicken, an hour and a half is plenty long to cook it with lots of
smoke involved. One limitation of the Weber is that you can only use
a bit more than half of the grill space, as the rest is subject to too
much direct heat.

John Kuthe...

True dat. I love the thing and feel the shoulder you can produce is unreal.

Can only make one, though. Does great with ribs, too, but you got room for two racks. That comes to four people served in my house.
I wood grill with a barrel cooker. takes some time to get the embers you need; but that little extra flvor is worth it, IMO.

Still, no shame in the crock pot. I usually just go kraut with pork and it's great. Never tried a shoulder in it.

Sounds like it turned out well. I just can't do liquid smoke; has adverse effects on my digestive track. Hope your crew loved the pork.

The killfile capability wasn't even a consideration for why I decided
to use Agent, I wanted something that works when I want to do
Newsgroups. It's the height of ignorance to subscribe to an
unmoderated Newsgroup and then moderate it. duh

I don't think that he was. I use MSG but not in a pulled pork type
roast. I don't know why. My guess is that the stuff get synthesized
during cooking so none is needed. I recently scorched some rice that
was in a chicken based stock and that had a heavy MSG flavor so
sometimes the taste is naturally produced during cooking.

Liquid smoke is an interesting product. My guess is that it's made in
a contraption that looks a lot like a moonshine still except that
instead of mash in the tub, it's wood chips.

Adding some liquid smoke to canned tuna and mayo makes a great spread
for crackers. I call it "smoked ahi spread" which sounds a lot better
than tuna salad. œŒðŸ‘ðŸ´
