McClure's BBQ (1 Viewer)

[Bull Dozier]

Just ordered a shirt. Will rock it around the Twin Cities and then have to tell people, "no, I haven't ever been there, but I've read on the internet that it's really good."

Was thinking the exact same thing when I ordered mine. Worth it though to help out a fellow FBG!

Yup. At least most of my friends know I am a amateur BBQer, so I can at least say I know this guy from a website I get a lot of my BBQ ideas from. Sounds cooler (somehow) than saying I know someone from my fantasy football website.

BBQ is cooler than FF, ergo, talking to iFriends on a message board about BBQ is cooler than talking to iFriends on a message board about FF.

Love that new pic posted on facebook.

I always just refer to FBG as a football board vs a Magic Football board

If I order a shirt for the wife and I, do I get double the rub?

not sure....if you order them separately for sure.

Depends on what kind of mood your wife is in.

and todays brisket is top notch. this one day after ruining them. I think the TEXAS CRUTCH (wrap loosely in foil once they get to 160) is the way to go now that we are getting into it. never wanted to cheat, but it is making it more juicy. And they finish 2 hours earlier with the same amount of smoke and flavor...just more juice.

 

[AcerFC]

There is a reason people use the crutch. I would assume you are not losing much bark with the crutch so why not.

Everything I know about "real" BBQ comes from watching TV, so take this for what it's worth, but don't most/all of the competition BBQ chefs inject and wrap their meat? Is that considered "cheating"?

Injecting is cheating IMO and pointless. Competition BBQ Brisket all takes like beef broth. Which is fine if you like beef broth. Now all the comp guys are injecting pork butts too.

Buy Choice+ or higher grade and injecting is no longer an issue. Regular Choice or Select and you are looking at probably needing to do some PED.

i'm planning to hit this joint Saturday. I'll report back later.

 

[STBootleg]

no idea....icon...anyway you can find out how i can find out?

 

[Premier]

Yea injecting blows. I can't believe some of these competition shows where you see guys pumping IV bags worth of beef broth or apple juice into their meats. :X

 

[Gamma1210]

Ordered a shirt for me and the wife.

They will send monthly detailed reports.... I'm hesitant to start hitting them up every other day for sales numbers I hinted toward a number "looks like he sold 20 or 30 shirts already?" and he said "yeah it's been good and steady". I didnt press as he was driving and prob didn't have the numbers in front of him.

They will start shipping them this weekend per a phone call I had with John today. I need to print the cards that will be included and get them over to their shop downtown.

Smoked, right?

Two competitions I'm signing up for are near Jackson Ms.....October 11-12 and then Nov 1-2. Any fbg's living near Jackson, Clevland, or Ridgeland MS and want to help out? Also need a place up there to store my smoking rig in between the events so I don't have to haul it up there and back twice in a three week span.

HOLY SMOKE!!!

I live in Ridgeland. *Disclaimer, I just moved back and I'm currently an apartment dweller, but I'm pretty sure I can help with a place to park your rig. I live about a quarter miile from the reservoir. Send me a PM.

Hit me up when you come to New England and I'll see what I can do. good luck with the upcoming tasting competes. Wish I could be there.

So... Tonight McClures Competition Barbecue team was born... Memphis edition anyway though I believe the plan is for our crew to travel for support regionally. We will have folks helping Neil at the two MS events... I will personally be making it down for the Nov 1st event.

We're now in the process of assembling a team of guys who will bust asses to make sure the rest of the booth/event is on par with the food that Neil will be producing. Have finance guy, attorney, two badass DJs, major concert producer/promoter, electrician, scaffolding engineer, etc. not to mention he majority of the guys are all backyard BBQ nerds who will be helping tipsy as needed in the pit.

We will be competing under the McClure's barbecue flag for MIM though... Time to get tipsy some hardware for his shop.

Can't ####in wait.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Awesome.

Add me to the process por favor. Downtown MS isn't perfect, but it's nice to be located midway between NO and MEM.

ETA: I've got a three-legged pitbull if a face for franchise is needed.

As I have said before, I love bbq and this is something that has always interested me. Please keep me in the loop, GBs.

 

[saintfool]

Got there yesterday with my buddy. Pulled pork was good but the sausage was pretty damn great.

Every great BBQ team needs a fiancé and an attorney.

I wouldn't count on the fiancé, he probably won't be allowed to go that weekend.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Congrats on landing a fiancé guy!

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

otello....where do you live?

[Tiger Fan]

will definitely be in the mix for H4TC in NOLA (time permitting)

 

[Fennis]

If a 3-legged bull dog is good, I am pretty sure with a little help, we can get a no legged bulldog and really rock the contest.

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

oh thank god.....a day off. glad i didn't volunteer to do all the shopping, hand cut 80 steaks, make salad, and bake potatoes for the mens club at school tonight....oh wait...

Typed it on the phone... autocorrect apparently. Good stuff

The stuff sounds excessive for a BBQ team until you actually go to MIM BBQfest and realize you're basically building a restaurant/nightclub with a $25,000 budget for 3 days.

When do the initial shirt orders get shipped out?

When do the initial shirt orders get shipped out?

Today from what I understand. Dropped off the insert cards on Saturday afternoon.

Just FYI, Tipsy's rub is potent stuff.. expect your shirts to smell like BBQ rub when you unpack them. There is also a slight chance of these baggies rupturing in shipment. In any case some folks may end up wanting to wash the shirts before wearing them if the aroma bugs ya.

 

[Brownsfan]

Can we put them in the dryer?

On High for no less than 94 minutes.
