I was at Sam's picking up 6 cases of pork earlier today, and right after I told the butcher about my order another man came up and asked for 1 case. I asked him what he was going to do with all that meat, and he responded by saying he was a "serious BBQ'er". He went on to say that it was just a hobby, but that all his friends wanted him to open a restaurant. So I asked him what he cooked on. He said he cheated. What do you mean I asked? I cook it in the oven he said. Put it in a pan with about 2" of water and let it cook overnight. "It's all about the sauce anyway" he told me. I asked him if he had ever used a smoker and he said he didn't like smokers because they all just dry out the meat. Oh really? Anyway, the butcher came out with my 6 cases and the guy looked at me kind of funny and walked off. I've got to remember not to ask any more questions when I see people buying cases of meat.
