I tend to agree with Kevin about this as well. One thing I can also attest to is that at my competitions I can tell if the pork is overcooked based on how much juice is released from the meat when we put them to rest after a 8 hour cook. If there is…

Our turkeys smoke for about 4-5 hours at 275 and they always turn out awesome! We use pecan and hickory smoke on them. We might try wild cherrry this year. I would tend to agree with BBQ that you are really rolling the dice on harmful bacteria…

Lava rocks are heated in the fire for several hours, the food is placed on leaves then covered with more leaves, wet burlap sacks then a tarp. All of it is covered with several inches of dirt and left for 5 hours or so.

I still do the traditional southern style BBQ though and everyone out here loves it. You can see some of my stuff in my pictures. Made an entire meal on the grill/smoker yesterday for my Father's Day present to myself.

I told my wife I would cook her a "mother's day" meal on "father's day" as long as she would let me grill it and drink beer. Let me know what you think...cheers!
