If you find out the answer, let me know. Heheee. Some foil and an oven has saved the day more times than Mighty Mouse.

Smart that you won't waste a bunch of meat.

The Texas Crutch name was created by an out of touch, cooked, angry old dude. Almost every good BBQ cook I know considers it a legit technique.

Bbq Bubba · 06-20-2010, 03:29 PM

Get an umbrella Nancy! :)

You got to do what you got to do. If the weather goes south on you then you dont really have an option

Foil can be your friend.It also makes nice hats

jdub · 06-20-2010, 06:21 PM

It was a good one. It wasn't, "shucks, it might rain," it was more of a, "Weerrreeeee gonnnnnaaaaa diiieeee!!!!!!!" kinda storm
Brisket was good! The bark on the pork was leaning to the chewy side

Sounds like there's a story there............

CBQ · 06-20-2010, 08:48 PM

I don't cook anything in a comp that doesn't touch a piece of foil at some point in the process. There are some people that also consider BBQ sauce a crutch. Can't please everyone.

jestridge · 06-20-2010, 09:06 PM

If you like it your friends and family like it who give a chit what people say.
