I grabbed his BBQ 25 book. Good stuff. I love how the pages are thick and quasi-laminated like a kid's book.U_tarded said:Adam perry Lang has finishing salts in his book charred and scruffed, in on there is charcoal I have yet to try it but it gets me curious.

I always Microplane some charcoal into my rubs. I can't really taste it, but it's more to tell my guests that my charcoal is the secret ingredient (in more ways than one.)
Now when using it when a finishing salt on a steak or some simple, you can taste it.

That's very interesting. My dog loves to eat the charcoal that I spill. I always thought he was crazy, but maybe he is on to something. hahaLarge BGE Decatur, AL

I've heard of that but seeing someone doing it in a competition situation like that really surprised me. I am not sure I am in a hurry to try this idea out myself.

Not sure if it matters, but he did make a point to mention that it was 100% organic charcoal (whatever that means).

That's a buzz word.......and you can take advantage of consumers with ZERO accountability since it's not food/drink or a body care item.
From the FAQ's on our website:Is Rockwood Lump Charcoal "organic"?
Our charcoal is all-natural. It is made from 100% Missouri hardwood trees growing in the wild. It contains zero chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. We could legally say it is "organic"; however, it would misrepresent the product and corrupt the word itself.
"Organic" gets thrown around a lot now, but there are strict USDA regulations when and where you can use it in terms of food and beverage labeling. Typically, it's used to show the product was "organically farmed" under the regulations of 7 CFR Part 205--free of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, etc. It is also used, but not as regulated, to label textiles and personal hygiene products.
First off, our charcoal not "farmed"--it comes from trees growing naturally in the forest. Furthermore, our charcoal is not consumed, nor worn on or applied to a person's body. For these reasons, we have chosen not to debase the word "organic" by using it to describe a fuel.
We fully support the organic movement 100% by keeping it natural. We definitely can say that certified organic products taste the best when prepared over all-natural lump charcoal!
Just so you know, Rockwood is also cage-free, dolphin friendly, MSG-free, and made with love.

He also came in last. Did you see the one competitor (can't remember his name) say how it bends him out of shape that "restaurant" cooks try to compete. ) Reminds me of last year when there was a show (maybe a special version of pitmasters) where they showed actual competition events and highlighted like 6 teams. They had a chef from McKinney, TX competing for the first time and he came in basically last (out of 150 + teams) every event. Johnny Trigg took him under his wing and he got better...but it's not the same. I've always wanted to do a local competition...but I have no expectations, just want to have the experience.PROUD MEMBER OF THE WHO DAT NATION!

Chefs cook what a customer wants to eat. Competition cooks go for all the flavor in one bite to impress the judges. Every good competition cook I've met says their BBQ for their friends and family is way different than what the judges get. Chances are the Chef stuff at a cook off is the most palatable.

Maybe NakedWhiz could add "Taste" as a category...Cookin in Texas
