Adam Perry Lang or KISS?

[Cloudsmoker]

Remember the movie Julie and Julia? I would love to take a year off and cook every single recipe in APL's Serious BBQ cookbook - I could even blog about it, right here.

Until then, maybe a little French KISS.

I was dreading the meal he did no prep beyond S&P. After the first bite,the light bulb got jarred and came back on. I was tasting the "Q" I grew up on the best stuff I ever ate. Upon returning home I filed the trash can with all the snake oil. .... Now I concentrate on the texture( tenderness) and the flavor that comes from the smoke and how temperature affects these things. 300 deg seems to be my magic number. Rubs are S&P, Season salt, and Montreal steak, Old bay and the Dirty Dalmatian. injections are limited to Butter( Poultry) and Canola oil(Poorly marbled select briskets) I even quit pealing my ribs. Heat and Meat K.I.S.S.all the way!!

This is a very good post! I think I get lost in the Rigmarole myself sometimes!
