On my offset

kettle

PBJ (the white smoke is due to the drippings on the coals)

Hunsaker drum

kamado

So on and so on. I thought I had it locked until I saw luchador's smoke and realized I'm doing it all wrong. :heh:

Good lord. That's a lot of TWS.

Pablo Picasso said it best. 'Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.' In your case.. learn how to achieve the thin blue smoke and then break the rule to acquire the taste YOU prefer. BBQ is an art and we should all go at it that way.

And Pablo Picasso was never called an *******.

I don't understand why so many people take offense to OP's threads & posts. They're some of my favorites. Even though I often don't agree, he's passionate about making BBQ he likes, and he likes showing the non-standard point of view. He actively tells people how he makes food that he likes. You can choose to try it or not.

I love my sous vide. Some people on this site see that as offensive as a crock pot. It's just another point of view.

I started with a kamado (lump & chunks) and got a pretty strong smoke. I love it. On my Bandera I was shocked at how light & refined the smoke is. I love it. El is just saying that he'd prefer having BBQ from my kamado instead of my Bandera. Sure, he says it in a way that some find frustrating, but I am happy to have him raise questions that spark a discussion. I certainly won't get offended if he doesn't cook the same way I do, just like I won't get offended if he adds more salt to his food than I do. I have learned a LOT from this site by reading other people who do things differently than I do.

Preach on, El.

In every Internet forum, some people just like to argue and start flame wars. Some of the responses here suggest that there are a few in this one, but I find that this forum has very few compared to others. Most posters here just want to share their love of BBQ with others; that's why I hang out here. I want you all to know that I'm not a troublemaker. Oh, yeah, and BIG GREEN EGGS SUCK!

I don't like the flavor of the drippies either so I run a water pan in my UDS. It takes a little longer to get to temp, but I think it's worth it.

So I thought the golden rule is that ... Make the BBQ you want to eat, and what's good to you is all that matters?

Time to watch Repo Man again! (that's the version I know - just now learned it's a Jonathan Richman thing)

I can get along with most people. IMHO it is the delivery, rather than the message, that rubs some folks the wrong way. Just my two pennies worth.

It's like the infomercials that try to sell their product / point of view.
The best way to make your product / process appear to be the best is to exaggerate the inadequacies of the alternative.

So I have seen that other people like to do that also. Not done it yet. Do you put one on at the beginning, then another an hour or two later? I am trying it the next time i cook.:thumb:

El, I like to see when you have something to say, even if I disagree. I also have inherited an ornery nature, so I try to have fun with everyone...you are just more ornery than me, so besides the bbq lessons, you are helping me to be more fun when I am an old 99 yr old grandpa. :drama::whoo:

He did call me a liar. Didn't bother me. Comments like these are why he gets so much instant negative feedback. I'm sure he's a really nice guy in person. We keep inviting him to the Texas bashes so we can hang out.

At work, I've finally learned that it's not the message but more often the messenger that matters. So now, if I have something really important, I find the right "herald" to pass it on. Works better, less frustration!

Do you have blanket parties at those bashes?
