Brine vs. Rub Experiment Part 1

By brian | Published: August 28, 2009

We’re trying an experiment this weekend with a couple pork butts in an effort to see which approach is better for flavor; either brining the hog and then applying a dry rub or just applying the rub without a brine.

By brian | Published: August 26, 2009

There is nothing worth riding within reasonable riding distance so any attempt to tap your vein appropriately means time off work, airfair, hotel accomodations, food, drinks, shuttle service, and, [...]

I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day over several pints of Surly Furious about the many virtues of smoking dead animal.

Better BBQing Through Chemistry

Science News has a great piece on the American Chemical Society’s chem-themed cook out and it appears that eating your meats properly cooked, that is medium and rarer cuts your carcinogenic intake by, at times, 88%. “Unfortunately, if you ask the [food] safety people they’ll tell you to cremate everything,” said Shirley Corriher, a food [...]

By brian | Published: August 17, 2009

Osiris makes my favorite low top skating shoe, the Duffel. I love these so much I’ve got 2 pair spare sitting in my closet for when I blow out my present pair. Super comfy, nice and wide for my big feet and sweet detail on them that calls to mind the old Vision Mark Rutgowski [...]

Learning to Drop In

By brian | Published: August 17, 2009

I’ve come quite a ways since purchasing my Arbor Hybrid back in April.  When I first received that board I struggled to stay relaxed while kicking around a block or two or maintaining balance while bombing pretty low grade hills.
