    Great advice/information. I am a pitmaster at a local BBQ in Ohio. Most customers in Ohio have no idea about BBQ in general (like we run out of items some times) and that a pink ring is acceptable. I wanted to comment on chicken. When BBQing chicken, there may not be a smoke "ring". But, if the chicken has been frozen and then cooked in BBQ (over wood slowly) near the bone will have pink meat. Some people freak out over this. The BBQ chicken is thoroughly cook and safe to eat but the perception is its under cooked.

    Amazing that someone could be so brain dead that they A.) Call 911 regarding a problem with their food. B.)

    I went through this at my house when my mother came over to try my bbq.
    She only likes to eat meat burnt to shoe leather and freaked out at seeing the smoke ring.
    She did try a bite, but almost spat it back out because there was pepper on it...
    She mostly stuck to eating the chicken, picking off the skin.
    Growing up, I didn't understand why my grandmother's cooking was so much better when my mother's cooking was dry and bland, until I started cooking for myself around the age of 10.

    I knew this would be about Cooper's. 🤣 When people bring cheap BBQ (always pork) to a party or church function, it's orange, finely chopped, with bits of bone and fat. The late, great H. Kent Craig liked to say he wouldn't feed that stuff to his dog.
    Fast food, Smithfield's or Cook-Out, is gray and mushy from steam holding.
    Cooper's does sublime pork, slaw and tea. Get extra vinegar sauce for the cracklins.
    Decent brisket and "fat smoke" are almost unheard of here. The best ribs come from a Texas-style chain called City BBQ.
