I am not going to settle on the results of the other polls because they are still going on.

Nor Am I going to say anything rude like "Now I know why so many people are so completely unaware their BBQ sucks." No... nay, that would be mean and not within the brethren spirit.

But I am discovering some great things with these polls I will release in a few days.

Here is a question. Possibly some are getting mixed up with a scenario where I am asking in what order would you teach first. Not what I am asking.

Lets put it this way, and its too late to go back now, if you had to teach a brother one THING that would get him the FARTHEST what would it be?

Now that I think of it, those that compete, its def taste.

So THIS QUESTION IS

Which is harder to master to get you the furthest for Judge, Patron or Family/Clients.



Taste - Rubs, Injections, etc. to keep the most people happy -(That means you cannot change it from Competition to Competition)

A note here. If you watch closely at Trigg in pitmasters he is revealing techniques that are crucial but nothing real innovative as far as spice.

THE RIGHT ELEMENTS to make a tender moist BBQ - Wood, Fire, Rub Foil Temp, Probe, internal temps, water pans, quality of cut whatever.


There SHOULD be lots of disaggreement here but thats what the poll is to settle. Be sure, if you have masters one trait and are working on another, to reflect on how hard the first thing you mastered was to get down.
 
Actually, taste is very subjective, but, most folks have a taste in mind and most can find that something something...from what I have seen, most folks do not know how to work a fire, heck, most don't know how to use a knob on the stove.

Understanding things like heat, smoke, ambient moisture, circulation, convection, conduction and radiation and the techniques to use and control all of those and more is where the curve is.
 
Definitely, the right elements to make a tender moist BBQ...

Learning how to manage the fire/temps/airflow is a huge first step... but some of this depends on what type of unit you are cooking on. for me, a stickburner to start with took a long time to finally do it right consistently..
 
wow
again i was shocked after I voted.

To me elements of moisture & texture are the backbone of BBQ, and before you go to entering comps, you should already be well versed in making basic Q.

Elements of taste are too subjective to be easily mastered.

I can produce great moist Q on a consistent basis, but to consistently please all (or most) people and all (or most) judges with taste?? fuggetaboutit!
