Keeping the pits fresh
JMueller BBQ has been rechristened La Barbecue after disputes that ultimately led to the South 1st trailer's pit boss being replaced by his second-in-command: a competitive circuit up-and-comer who also cut his teeth at Franklin, a difficult task given the tenderness of their beef.The new guy's style merges old-school techniques with an approach as free of dogma as your DVD collection, marked by more complex rubs (the brisket's uses five ingredients instead of the traditional salt/pepper), higher quality post oak, and air-flow improvements to the ancient pit to accommodate a lower, slower smoking approach.
