BBQ Craft

So what do you do with leftover pulled pork? Not wanting to waste delicious Q and being hungry, I improvised a little.

Baked Potato
Salt
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Shredded cheddar cheese
Pulled pork

Cut a baked potato in half. Scoop out the middle. Salt the potato and stuff with the leftover pulled pork. Heat in a 400 degree oven to get the pork hot and crisp the potato edges a little. Top with BBQ sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.

What 4th of July wouldnt be complete without a little Q? I was just going through some of our 4th pictures and figured I would share a few that sum it up.

Adam Perry Lang’s Serious Barbecue potato recipe (highly recommended), our rib recipe, Wiley McCrary’s chicken recipe and on the lower grate, APL’s “Get a book” pork shoulder recipe.

We spent last weekend in Greenwood, SC sampling the Q and visiting some of the teams. It was a great event. Not too hot and plenty of interesting BBQ folk. While taking pictures of some of the teams during turn in prep, we were treated to a few samples of their turn in Q.  Based on those samples I am sure the judges had a great day tasting some really good Q. There was one slightly annoying aspect of the entire event- Food Network. They had at least six full camera crews setup and roaming around at the event. They were from the Food Network Challenge TV series. They had trip hazards everywhere. Between Bub-Ba-Q and Checkered Pig it was like a full TV studio setup (see pictures below). I guess that’s the price you pay for BBQ fame.

First habanero pick of the season from our mini garden. Time to make some sauce!

Welcome to my world of the “Q”. Hang on tight it might get a little smokey along the way.
