Just had a round of babybacks from Tony (AKA "Divotmaker")

Yeah, that one was my fault.  I was playing all day and didn't take frequent breaks to see if I was tired or not.  At the point of the 'disagreement' I was lollygagging back to camp and apparently got tired and lazy because there's no reason to be anywhere near the center line when in a right hand sweeper.  Pretty sure I was actually doing the speed limit (ok 5 over) at that point, but for the curve it doesn't matter...pretty sure that set of sweepers could have been taken safely at 150.

All in all, it wasn't too bad.  I got a minor concussion (helmet was toast) and a cracked scapula from caving in his driver's door after my front wheel hit his rear (head on) and ripped it out.  Bike didn't look too bad until you saw that 1/3 of the front wheel was missing...then found...in the engine block. 
 
Hey Steven, Sounds like your co-pilot was doing his job protecting you. Thank God you was not seriously hurt. And normally the bikes loose in accidents. I have heard too that even if you just drop the helmet they are toast. I just recently purchased a full face helmet off of Ebay for a decent price.
 
It was brand new, size x-small, yes I have a small head. Also was a Harley helmet, less than a year old as he enclosed the sales receipt from the Harley store. Mostly just by cooking utensils from e-bay..

Thanks, but that's the beauty of the SI!  I guarantee yours are every bit as good, if not better!  We have everybody SO spoiled to what "real" BBQ can taste like! ;) ;D ;D
 
Well, I am in Farmington which is on the way to Fayetteville from Prairie Grove.  So where is my smoked food Divotmaker??  ;D ;D

Just kidding!!!  One of the great benefits to this forum is that it eliminates a lot of trial and error.  For instance, I am a brand new smoker and who knows how many years it would have taken me to realize that brining and using famous dave's ribrub make an excellent pork butt!! What is Google Scholar's motto "Stand on the shoulder's of giants", well that is sort of what we do when we use this forum!  That is why I love it here! Even though I use an old cookshack, they seem to cook the same as the SI's.

I hope to try my hand at beef, but I am gonna try and order the Baldridge seasoning before I go for the brisket though.
 
Hey Trevor, Check the price at the K.C. BBQ store, for Baldridge seasoning. They have a wide selection of rubs and seasonings. Not sure about their shipping costs, but is a short ride for me on the bike. As they are in Olathe, Ks. I just checked and is $11.99 for 12 oz bottle. Here is their website address: http://www.thekansascitybbqstore.com/products/jim-baldridges-secret-seasoning
Not sure but I think Tony/Divotmaker gets it off of Amazon...
 
Hey thanks for the headsup. I go up to kc occasionally and I may wait till I go up next to get some of that seasoning.

Hey Trevor, in addition to the baldridges seasoning, I might suggest John Henry's pecan seasoning. It is really out of this world, but the BBQ store has a whole wall of seasonings and rubs. It is very easy to find, take I-35S to exit 220 (119th st. exit) turn left and at S. Strang Line Rd. turn right then take 1st right into parking lot. You will see the store on your right.
 
Ok, so since you have tried both (I presume) which do you like better?  John Henry Pecan Rub or Baldridge Seasoning?
Just curious.
 
Actually have not tried the Jim Baldridge seasoning, But have used the John Henry pecan on ribs, a chuck roast and a Boston Butt. I have also used John Henry Cherry / Chipotle rub on some ribs. I really like the pecan rub the best. I have also used it in bbq beans, and have tried the Texas BBQ rub, and did not care so much for it. I hope this helps, as is best to try some to see what you and your family really like. Lately I have also been adding McCormicks Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning, just a lite sprinkle after the mustard and rub. It adds a bit more kick and heat.
 
Trevor,  I order Baldridge Secret Seasoning direct from www.baldridgeseasoning.com.  In fact, I just received a new order!  If you know you like it, and want to buy in bulk (less shipping), they have a good deal on a 4 lb food service tub, + 1 12 oz. shaker bottle, for $50 with shipping.  That lasts a long time, and you can refill the shaker bottle!

Lots of good rubs out there, but I've never had better flavor on beef than JBSS.  Good stuff!  Order a small bottle, from Amazon or Baldridge, then you'll know if you want to order bulk.
 
I just checked and could not find this on amazon, which is really strange. I would suggest checking a local bbq store in your area. I know the K.C. BBQ store in Olathe, Ks. carries the small bottle.
 
Bill, they used to sell it on Amazon, but must have stopped.  They are a small, family operation, and probably could not keep up with the demand from Amazon.
 
I think like you Tony would order it from their web site if he wants it shipped. Seems like Trevor gets to K.C. and I gave him directions to the K.C.BBQ store. That will save on shipping since he is here.
 
Thanks guys, Honestly I may just buy it online....but next time I go to KC I will know where it is.
Thanks for the feedback
Trevor
