Yeah, the DUDE boils his ribs and cooks them in 40 min.
WHY did you even post this. The hype for this whole series just is so last year.... I'm already over it, not real interested.

Are the competitions anything like they are portrayed on the show?
Like Smokin' says, last year's series was a made for TV,good guys vs bad guys soap opera,about how we all do contests.
They had to teach the cooks how to talk and what to say,so we all found humor-getting to see our friends "acting".
I guess the discussion is they make it the "houswives of KCBS" like a reality show?
Have to admit,the guy did remind me of Sandra Lee? on semi homemade? on food channel.She just concedes she boils her ribs for a quick way to fake out your guests ,over cocktails.
Fast Eddy may feel that any exposure of "BBQ" is better for all of us,to build awareness and popularity.It might build brands,name recognition,prizes on the circuit?
Maybe like the General of Dukes of Hazard,explained NASCAR?
Don't kill the messenger,but remember we have Smokin'Okie and a bunch of real life cooks to keep us on the path of bbq.

Hey...maybe Myron will let loose on the DUDE with a few Myronisms
Here is Fast Eddy's latest thought from Basso's.

I hope he doesn't get his act together. Give me a reason to watch Myron throw some hardballs past him each week and we can get a few chuckles out of this. It's most likely not going look to close to what we do anyway.

If BBQ made in an electrically heated CS is real BBQ just as if it were cooked over a wood pit.......isn't meat cooked in a wood fired steamer the same as meat cooked in an electrically heated steamer?
Thinking of some award winning individuals that swear by giant water smokers. Something just seems wrong about those smokers.

Huh?

I was thinking about the smoker used by Myron and some others that seem to burn wood just to boil water. They're cooking meat in a giant steamer.
Can't argue with success, but it just seems wrong.
I cooked next to Trigg a couple of weeks ago. I have my doubts about this season.
Yep,but John is enjoying the trips to NYC and all the expense money.They are putting out their demands and taking what they can.Just like TV stars.
They did do a bunch of promo shots with the actual four bbq cooks.

The Pitmasters show just posted this on their facebook page, thought I would share the link.
It is comical at times.

I stopped watching after about 20 sec.
Can i ask why? The clip shows a different Myron than what I remember seeing on any of the shows I have seen with him on.
I liked the Pitmasters show for the most part, no doubt because I have no idea what the competitions are really like, like so many of you on here. But I realize it is a reality show and it needs drama and backbighting to keep peoples interest, the Top Shot show on History channel is the same way but I enjoy it also, because of the shooting.

I made it to 3 minutes. While I can't say for sure, looked liked Myron was using CS rub on his chicken "balls".
I saw Myron on the Craig Ferguson show when it first aired. I still don't believe he really uses that much butter on his chicken.
I cut my teeth on a Brinkmann bullet smoker, and it was far from being a 'steamer'. The water pan is there to help maintain temperature. If you are near the preferred 225 degrees, enough water will evaporate to dissipate any excess heat. If the pot of water is actively boiling then you are running close to 250; at that point you use less fuel or close your dampers.
Everyone openly admits that the CS produces a very moist cooking environment, but I have yet to hear of anyone referring to it as a 'crockpot'.

Well I've watched two episodes, and after watching the second, I removed the series recording from the DVR. I enjoyed the series last year, but now it is just another game show, and in my opinion, not a very entertaining one at that.
I guess they couldn't control whether they were tracking the winner on any given week, so they had to manufacture their own format.

The BBQ Pitmasters Facebook page is an endless stream of complaints. Hope someone in production is listening. Warren Sapp and the cutsie smug chef...someone please remind me of their' credentials? Poor Myron...he must be pretty hard up for cash this year.
I watch them start a "competition" and then tell them they had to BBQ rattlesnake. The one with the worst rattlesnake goes home. I thought this was just lame. So you have the best BBQ, but your going home because of a snake, that no one cooks or eats. This show is really a waste of time. This is just another lame game show like others said.
