"Alton uses brined pork, a flower pot, a trash can, hardwood smoke and a
lot of patience to make barbecue-like pulled pork".

Should be interesting. Setting the DVR. LOL

I'm surprised there aren't 15 people arguing about whether he had the
right to use the term "BBQ."

I see that, and it's pretty neat. I'm just now watching. He used a
huge terracotta pot and the drain pan as a lid. Problem is that a
terracotta pot that large would probably cost the same as a smoker.

I don't think there was that much question with this one. He essentially
made an electric ceramic smoker.

I made that type smoker a couple of years ago after seeing the show.
total cost was about $80.00. It worked great, but I burnt out the
electric burner by the end of summer. I still have it, just need to
get a new electric burner. I mostly use the Masterbuilt electric
smoker I got as a gift now.

How about the salted smoked salmon from a cardboard box episode?
Where he also had a suit case of spices.

Just making an observation based on years of experience. You fail at
trying to label that as instigation. Move along child.

On the one hand when I lived in California I would read Prop 65 labels
and not by ceramics containing lead. Who knows if a flower pot
contains lead and yet here's Alton Brown cooking with one.

On the other hand he's not using it as a cooking surface and not storing
food in it so any lead exposure is extremely minimal.

I don't know exactly where the trade off between these two extremes is
but I have gradually lost interest in his tendency to go to the hardware
store to by stuff to cook with. I like cooking gear for cooking and if
some tool is a uni-tasker then I either get over it and get the item or
not cook that recipe.

Sometimes cooking tools grow and grow. Sometimes I trim out any
uni-tasker item that I have not used in the last two years. It's a
cycle.
