Lookin' good, Larry. What time is dinner?:wink:

Looks good so far! Let's see if yo9u can hit the times.

Larry, do you have room inside the firebox to set a log off to the side of the coals? That will help that log get ready to join the fire when it's time.

Real Nice!!

Nice lookin' Pron Larry.

Hope to get an invite for the next "Practice Session".

Larry, best of luck; knock 'em dead.

A few personal observations on the turn in boxes.

First, the color on all the meats to me look wonderful and appetizing.

You can have too much greenery in the boxes. I think in chicken and pork
you definitely have too much.

Chicken, nice sheen, very nice appetizing color. Size, see if can get them a little
more consistent. You'll want the skins to be either a little crispy or so tender that
they're bite-through; not rubbery.

Ribs, nice color, nice amount of sauce, sauce could be more consistent. Consider
doing a St Louis cut spare; they're easier to get 6 pieces (or more) in the box with
arrangement and they'll pull back from the bone (usually) a little more.

Pork, watch the region. If the pork isn't pulled (here in the south), you're dead.

Brisket, nice smoke ring. Looks/appears as though falling apart on the ends.

Lookin good!

Is that piece of chicken (front row, middle) happy to see me?:-D:redface:

The chicken looked really good - but really, the "hard on" is distracting to say the least!

The ribs need the most work. A good sharp knife will go a long way. But I bet they taste awesome!

Pork looks really good - but I agree that the greens cover up too much of the pulled/chunks. I would also look for a more consistant coating of sauce on the slices.

The brisket was your best box, IMO, but agian, the greens covered the burnt ends almost completely. Really good color throughout!!!

Keep it up, Bro:clap2:

Good luck blue, we are doing our first practice run this weekend. should be interesting to say the least...

It kind of looks like a hot dog in the piece of chicken. All looks yummy though!
