    We musta beat you both times!! LOL!!

    You sure don't want to go now since the tornado, it is a mess. It will be many years before you see things get back to some kind of normalcy.

    Both times were work and not near football season. I did get to watch the 2nd biggest Alabama sport practice at the gym.......women's gymnastics.

    It's CLOCKWISE!!! Jeeze! :laugh:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Sorry, guess I missed your tongue-in-cheek.

    "Stop preparing the butt the day before."

    No one said to stop. Some said they did not and some said they did not feel they got better results. Some do prep ahead.

    "Stop using EVOO."

    Many people do. Some said not any better and kind of costly just to hold rub.

    "Stop using mustard."

    Many of the posts said they used mustard. I do most of the time as well.


    "Buy a new temp gauge."

    Just check yours and see if it specs out OK as the posts said.


    "Use egger's recipe below for rub."

    I'm sure it's great but most any rub will give you moist pulled pork.


    "Only put on rub moments before cooking."

    Covered above.

    "Salt and season to taste after the meat is pulled."

    No two people have the same taste for salt.

    Yea, sorry I did not see your kidding around after all the work people put in to help you.
    Thank you,

    Brian Raschilla is the husband of one of our former reps. He is one of the assistant coaches. I was up there for a conference and got to stop by for an hour. They are talented

    Thanks Darian, preciate you explaining everything to me since you, and only you, know what I meant with my post.

    Its good to have someone like you looking after the rest of us.....thanks for taking so much time to explain my thoughts to me and everyone else. I'm sure they enjoyed it every bit as much as I did.

    Come see me in Alabama next time you come thru. I would love to see you face to face.

    Where did you get the thermometer clip for the grill?

    I have been looking for one.

    That one, I think, came with a Maverick ET-73. No idea what happened to it. I think I only used it that one time. Really don't care what the grid temp is as long as the dome is where I want it.

    The BBQ Guru folks sell a silicone "tree" if that would help.
