Subject: [Supertraining] A Tide of Nutritional Consequences


 
One of my friends and I recently put a presentation together regarding "a tide of nutritional consequences". We tried to convey simple nutritional messages using fairy tales / strory telling related to the benefits of nutrition and challenges that coaches / athletes may face. I appreciate there are a couple of loop holes in some of the information presented but the key messages are still relevant imo.

Skip,

I use a $25 kettle that I borrowed from my brother, and it only needs three-fourths of a chimney starter to go for three hours, which is enough most of the time. I really have no need for a more sophisticated cooker, and it suits my minimalist cheapskate style, but it turns out people are interested in my 'cue, and they're actually placing orders, so now I have to get my own kettle - a larger one, maybe even a nice one. Anything else sounds like overkill.

The two longest cooks I've done were both ten hours, overnight. Grueling. Oh, there is no barbecue tradition in Mexico that I am aware of. I've never met anyone else who smokes meat here. I mean, people sure do grill A LOT, but they never do any real barbecue. So I'm an outlier.

Both the Weber and BBQ Pit Boys websites are excellent resources. Thanks.

Miguel,

I'm no afficiando. I just like to eat. My dad built a cinder block "pit" when he bought his house in 1952 and I loved the ribs, chicken, turkey, and pork steaks that landed on my plate. I'm trying to recreate those wonderful flavors.

I started with a cheap bullet. Then a pretty expensive Bar-B-Chef offset. The Q was good. Spending more for charcoal than meat made me unhappy. Now I'm using a Weber kettle. I can cook indirect without going through a whole bag of charcoal. I'm guessing the Weber bullet and others conserve fuel, too. I don't have the patience to cook over about four hours. Maybe that's approaching my beer limit.

I learned the most from two websites: The Virtual Weber Bullet: http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/ and the BBQ Pit Boys: http://bbqpitboys.com/.<http://bbqpitboys.com/>

Is there a Mexican twist to BBQ?

Skip,

That's exactly what I'm talking about, yes. I eat pretty much just meat and vegetables (no starches/sugars) most of the time, which as we all know can get quite monotonous. I started to experiment with alternate cooking methods and found this. The addiction hit me like a freight train and I now barbecue several times a week, rain or shine. It's just a huge obsession. Beef chuck, ribs, brisket, pork leg, chops, pork butt, pork loin, fatties, chicken... done 'em all. I'm still a rookie when it comes to low & slow but I've gotten pretty good at staying out of the smoke. Now, we've all heard about PAHs from high heat and burning fats, but with barbecue there is neither, if you do it right that is. There are, however, plenty of combustion byproducts finding their way into the food. I'm concerned that I may unwittingly be pickling my innards here.

If you're talking about pork butt, brisket, or ribs (or Thanksgiving turkey) cooked at temperatures between 225F and 275F until the meat is tender and infused with the flavors of hardwood smoke and whatever delectable spices are applied to the meat before, during, and/or afterwards, you have cause for concern. The person most at risk is the barbecue chef (pitmaster).

Drinking 12 ounces of beer, minimum, per hour during the preparation, cooking, and eating process with protect you from ill effects.

Hurry and stock up.

Hope this helps.

All,
I've really gotten into smoked meat lately. By that I mean meats smoked at home, not commercially "smoked" foods with nitrates and what have you. Just meat cooked at a low temperature over a long period, and infused with plenty of hardwood smoke. Now, I know that studies show strong evidence that commercial "smoked" foods with the aforementioned chemicals added are a no-no, but what about simple, authentic, homemade barbecue with no harmful chemical additives? Is there any literature out there that looks into it, and any potential adverse effects on health?
PS - Please notice the distinction between barbecue (meat cooked with low indirect heat in the presence of woodsmoke) and grilling (meat cooked at a high temperature directly over the heat source with juices dripping on the heat source and vaporizing). I am talking about the former, NOT the latter.
