FTC was invented to let people feel like they are the top eschelon to act like only you know how to make to the perfect brisket.  Just get it done on time.

Ribs that are fall off the bone are better than the “competition style” ones with bite.

Adding bacon doesn’t always make things better 

@MeatChurch would like a word with you. 

Meant to add a picture. Reopening the floor for the discussion of bacon wrapped things (if John recognizes the motion and allows it). 

Your motion has been recognized.  Can I get a motion to approve from someone on the council of elders?

I tried this after seeing MC's post.  Still think they're trash.  

For a more thoughtful discussion, MC recommended using an All Purpose BBQ rub.  Frankly, I didn't like the flavor combo with the chocolate cookie. In hindsight a brown sugar candied bacon would probably been a better choice.  Also, the cookie -now, grease sponge- got a little soggy, before cooling. The cream filling melted, then cooled with a grittier crystal structure and was much less pleasant, texture-wise. Over all, they were an interesting novelty and, if presented one, I may eat one again.....but, I wont make them again

I would (I haven’t done this) pre-cook the bacon, skip wrapping the Oreo and wrap bacon and Oreo in something like phyllo or rice paper.  The time it takes to cook the bacon and the rendering is ruining the Oreo.

I’ve started using the pre-cooked (really it’s just par cooked) hormel bacon.  We use it on things that get ruined by the long cook time needed for uncooked bacon that’s been wrapped.

And I thought he was going to have to post on greeneffers forum to get the right audience.

bacon topped oreo sounds >>> bacon wrapped oreo.

I would dip my oreo in liquid nitrogen first, then wrap in partially rendered bacon, finish at high heat to finish bacon and crisp.

Pulled pork is better when it's made on the stove, not on a BBQ.  

Ozzie_Isaac

Carnitas is better than pulled pork.

Legume

Liquid nitrogen is not bbq.

How can that be unpopular? At least I agree with you.

Pulled pork is the Wonder Bread of BBQ.

Pumpkins were created by the dark lord and any BBQ using pumpkin in any form exposes the dark lord's minion-demons to the world.  Or they are just regular people with very bad irregular palates.

@johnnyp
Thanks for your honest review. I am definitely intrigued, but I tried fried Oreos that were all the rage as carny-food years ago and thought the same thing. The grease-soaked cookie wasn't exactly pleasant to me. Like you...if someone handed me a piping hot fried Oreo I am probably going to eat it.

Fine then.  McRibs, candy corn and pulled pork.  This hill is getting bigger.

I like the membrane on my ribs and the snap they give when cooked right ( which does not included hours wrapped in foil)

I agree, for wings.  Breasts are a different story.

Too big can be a thing. I’m all for proportionality.... to appetite, I mean.

Who is gonna go with the Rudy G screenshot from Borat 2?  Or the 2500 blank pages they gave Leslie Stahl?

It's sort of obnoxious to trim your brisket at home the way Aaron Franklin does.
