xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Central BBQ in Memphis? I thought their smokers were indoors. They keep wet leaves around?

Yep, Memphis. It showed them throw the logs in the firebox, then a bundle of wet leaves. Pit doors were indoors, but it looked like the firebox is loaded from outside. I guess they have a bin of dry leaves somewhere.

They can soak those logs overnight if they want, but I bet the water doesn't penetrate much more than 1/4" into the wood.
The wet leaves thing sounds crazy to me.
But then, what do I know?

The guy from Virginia that did the rib throwdown with Bobby Flay last month also said he used wet hickory logs. That was the first time I ever heard of it.

We went to Central BBQ this past February. Good BBs and outstanding dry rug wings.
The guys smoker is technically outside I guess. The unit sits outside but he cut a hole in the side of the building and mounted it so the doors are accessed through the inside.
As we were leaving I went around the side were the cooker is and sure enough... there was a watering trough full of water with hickory splits soaking in the water. I didn't see any leaves though.
Like I said though... it works for him. It was the best Q we had in Memphis.

Maybe it's like they guys that use really green wood. Their actual fire is so hot that the moisture steams as the logs light. Then the heat/smoke goes through dampers. I've never been around the big box smokers like SP, so what do I know?
