Ode to The Pitmaster Club
From TBoneJack, the unofficial Poet Laureate of The Pitmaster Club:
AmazingRibs is where you go,
To get the best advice,
Youâll find out how, to smoke a cow,
And it will turn out nice.
Smokers, gadgets, recipes,
Charcoal, gas, or wood?
The how, the why, and what to try,
When things arnât going good.
Selection, prep, and cook techniques,
Marinades and such,
Rubs and brines and temps and times,
And how to use the Crutch.
Brisket secrets are revealed,
For moist and tender meat,
The point, the flat, the rendered fat,
The proper mix of heat.
I found out how to smoke spare ribs,
Great bark and taste and worth,
I want some more, Iâll have them for,
My last meal on this Earth.
Memphis Dust did suit them well,
I served them without sauce,
Not 3-2-1, not overdone,
No precious flavor loss.
Jambo, Lang, or Meadow Creek,
Itâs hard to make the call,
Almost a crime, so little time,
Iâd like to try them all.
Iâm not ashamed, Iâm not alone,
âCause many have this lot,
But Iâll admit, here in the Pit,
My wife said Not! Not! Not!
Weber, Brinkman, PBC,
No need for budget breach,
They cook great food, just ask me dude,
âCause I have one of each.
Obsessed I am, I know itâs true,
They call it MCS,
I saw the doc, he was in shock,
He too is in this mess.
Myron Mixon, Johnny Trigg,
Cool Smokeâs Tuffy Stone,
Harry Soo, Chris Lilly too,
And Moe who cooks alone.
Theyâre all good, I like them fine,
Iâm sure they cook good Q,
Theyâve earned the right, I see the light,
Iâll give them their fair due,
But I have learned, thru many cooks,
This web site is da bomb,
For what to do, browse over to,
AmazingRibs dot com.
Tired of seeing popup ads?
No need to throw a fit,
Donât you know, just spend some dough,
And join us in the Pit.
And if you travel, donât despair,
No further should you look,
The answerâs clear, put down your beer,
And order Meatheadâs book.
