Oh, and I'm glad to see (AJ's slant aside) all the talk of pulled pork, I get tired of people who fixate on ribs when it comes to BBQ. Not saying I don't like ribs, but most of the time I'd take pulled pork regardless of the region its from over ribs.

 

At the obvious and blatant risk of taking AJ's tangent and making it even worse, I think the reason for that is that pulled pork gets you more bang-for-the-buck in terms of the (portion) size of the meat.

 

You can get ribs anywhere. It's not everywhere you can get good BBQ (pulled pork).

 

In South Cakalaky, pork is most certainly king, but we also love the chicken, beef, and of course the fixins too. Collards, corn, squash, rice and hash.

 

If anyone is ever passing through or near Columbia, you need to stop in Lil' Pigs BBQ at 4927 Alpine Rd Columbia.

 

It's no frills good BBQ.

I guess John and Robert should have a contest to see which one pulls his own pork better.     AJ

Nothing beats perfectly smoked turkey or chicken.  But only 1 out of 100 can do it right.  ;)

I love BBQ of all types.  I enjoy eating regional BBQ wherever I go.  We even have New Mexican BBQ around here.  The Red Chile rubbed smoked ribs at the Ranch House are insanely good, as well as the red chile barbecue sauce at Cowgirl BBQ in Santa Fe is unique and very tasty.

 

To take Texas pit smoked BBQ and mix KC and Texas sauces together with a little bit of heat from Louisiana hot sauce is a very magical thing.  Yummm.  Maybe I need to fire up the smoker tomorrow?

If anyone is ever driving through Tennessee on I-40 and passing through Cookeville (its between Nashville & Knoxville), try this place, its both near me and maybe a mile off I-40:

Excellent pulled pork.  There's a Lebanon & Franklin location as well but this one is very convenient from the interstate...you'd just get off at exit 288 (Highway 111 which is a 4-lane highway as well) and go north to the 1st exit from there which is Spring Street, hang a left, and its on the west side of the Food Lion parking lot on your left.  Open Monday-Saturday 10:30am-8pm.  They have a drive-through window too.

Browns BBQ. Original restaurant in Kingstree South Carolina in Williamsburg county is worth the hour and 45 minute drive. A&M Browns(same family) in Moncks Corner SC, North of Charleston on Highway 52. Is also the best!

 

SC = best BBQ on Mother Earth!

Got this bad boy at the Machine Shed in Des Moines, Iowa a few weeks back.

 

1+ pound of smoked porkchop, if I had to guess about 1.25 pounds.

They call it the Double Cut.

Before.

Also, if anyone wants to go to 17th Street in Murphysboro, they have both excellent ribs and excellent pulled pork. I usually opt for the pulled pork.

Does anyone else watch BBQ Pitmasters? I am always hoping that someone would do ethnic variations of BBQ (like Char Siu).

 

Does anyone have experience with Turkey Fryers? I am thinking of purchasing one.

Just bought a turkey fryer today for tailgating and maybe Thanksgiving. Hope to try it out soon.

 Is it an electric (indoor) one or is a (propane) outdoor one?

 

I am thinking when I get one, I will also try to make carnitas.

I make carnitas in my smoker.  I use a Chimayo red chile/garlic rub on a pork shoulder and then smoke it for 10-12 hours with mesquite lump and tabasco white oak chips.  Emmm, emmmm, yumm.  *drool*

 

And then cook it in a crock pot in a red chile stew for about 3-4 hours.  Then shred, and skillet brown it.  Best carnitas in the world.  Fry up some fresh tortillas, and you have one of the best dishes in thee world.

We've used a propane turkey fryer for years.

 

It's not turkey until it's deep fried with a garlic butter injectable seasoning and a Cajun Rub.

Did you build your own smoker? If so, can we see pictures of it?

Nope, just a cheap round vertical smoker from Lowe's.  My wife bought it for me for Father's Day a few years ago.  I do want to upgrade one day to a larger vertical smoker.  But I never can find what I'm looking for.  I don't like the electric and propane smokers.  I keep going back to the charcoal smokers.  I love to burn mesquite lump charcoal.

Although I think I'm getting a new one for Fathers Day.  I've asked for this one a few months back:  http://www.samsclub.com/sams/charcoal-off-smoker-smoker-offset/prod9510539.ip

How do you filter your used deep fryer oil?

Those are cool. I need more cooking surface, though.

Check out the Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker. There's two sizes, and they have two levels so you can do twice as much cooking. There's a wealth of info on it at http://www.tvwbb.com

I saw the local BBQ place on college park rd., with a re supply truck backed up to it this morning. Should I post that in the "in progress thread" with pics? Haha

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.

      Yeah both of those instances were on my AT&T s22 ultra. Seems ro be working as intended today in latest release.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.
