It's been a long, long time since I last went to Dickey's, but they were always medium-low tier bbq. Still tastes good, was worth the price, turkey was the standout of all things. Worth going if you don't have a really good place nearby, just temper your expectations.

Put BBQ sauce on leather and it will "taste" like BBQ.

Yeah unfortunately there are only a few BBQ places in the area and none close to work. I could drive to one of the ones I know are good but you never know what the wait will be like so I might drive 15 minutes to get there and not be able to wait for food because of time.


Rat poison as sugar? First off why are you getting sugar at a BBQ joint?
Second do you have a source for that?

Anyone ever had Dickies BBQ? They opened one near my work so I'm going to go today for lunch and check them out.

It's not terrible but nothing amazing either. It's a chain and I'd rather eat it than fast food.

There's a Mission BBQ that opened nearby and it's pretty dang decent, but also a chain.

Mission is a chain but at least they usually have good sauce selection so you can tailor whatever you got to whatever style you feel like to some degree.

Dickie's isnt the worst BBQ you can have. Most of the non chain places will be far far better though. If you're in a hurry, then it's not bad and beats McDonalds any day. Plus free ice cream is nice.

I usually get some coupons for Dickie's every year from Entertainment book and use those. Buy 1 get 1 free entree makes it a real good value, even if the BBQ isn't the best.

So it was an accident that could have happened anywhere. And does happen other places and not something that will probably ever happen there again.

Yeah it was decent but I am in West Michigan so I don't have all the little shops around. There are a few small places in town but they are not near my work so this place will be a good change from the other lunch choices I have.

I didn't see anything there about ice cream, free or not. Though they just opened.

I bought some beef ribs earlier in the week with the intention to smoke them last Friday and eat them on Saturday. Well weather was poo poo so I didn't get the smoker out. Now my choice was to wait till Wednesday when the weather turned around to smoke and then freeze them or just freeze them raw to smoker later.

I went with smoking, vacuuming and then freezing. I'll warm them up with the sousvide when we want them in a week or two. It took all my will power not to take a bite out of one but dont think I wasn't licking my fingers though.









Oooohh...show me the crumb shot when you choose to finally eat them. Please. I need to see what's under that bark baby. Don't tease me.

So, not smoking, but rather, grilling... Has anyone done grilled lamb shoulder chops? They're on sale this week so I'm thinking of picking up a few pounds, throwing some za'atar and sumac into some olive oil and rubbing that on the chops as a quick surface treatment. Then, grilling them over a bunch of nice maple lump charcoal.

Yay/nay?

That's a great flavor combo, IMO. Just be really careful on the cook. Lamb shoulder chops go from raw to overcooked and tough in a flash. They'll still be delicious no matter what though.

Apologies for the late reply. It ended up pouring rain that evening so I blasted them at insanely high heat in a cast iron pan. They turned out great, and I'm usually not one for gamey lamb, but drat did that za'atar compliment the gaminess well.

Would cook again.

Does this thread have any opinions re: Pit Boss pellet grills?

Lowes has some good deals on some right now, not that I can afford one. It’d be nice to have one when I move back into an apartment, since they get hotter than my MES and you can actually sort of grill on them.

I'm looking to smoke my first pork butt this weekend, I caught a decent sale at 99c a pound so i have an 8 pound pork butt. Since this is my first pork butt, does anyone have a good guide to get this thing to come out decent? Its just me and my partner so no pressure with hungry folks around. But if there is a good guide for rub/times that someone has i'd love to see it. Also I've been reading a lot about brining the butt ( lol ) before the smoke is that necessary?
