I hear the day after is a great day for plumbers due to clogged bowls.

I should have knocked on wood. Getting the smoker ready for a rack of
ribs today, I walked into the garage. Suddenly the water heater
sprang a leak. Not so bad this time because I had previously
installed a 3/4 turn ball valve on the water heater supply line. Lost
about a gallon of water on the floor. Got it turned off quickly and
went back to starting the ribs for a long, slow cook.

Oh well. I get a new water heater, some good food and I smell like
cherry wood smoke.

FWIW. Install a ball valve to shut your water heater supply line
rapidly. Do-Do happens. The toilet bowl still works great :-)

What's a Super Bowl , some new kind of toilet ? And FWIW , I not only have
a quarter turn valve on the WH , but there's one for a main line cutoff
right by the house and a pair that turn off the laundry and kitchen under
the house - and there will be a pair on the lines to the new master bath too
.. Turning off the main does leave one yard faucet on .

Actually I have a whole house PEX manifold system so I don't have stop
valves at every water supply line. I can turn off hot or cold lines
in the laundry room. I added a 1/4 turn ball valve on the WH for good
measure. Today it paid for itself and didn't flood my garage when the
sudden leak happened.

BTW. The BBQ ribs are melt in your mouth tender -- 6 hours low and
slow. Yummly good.

Someone near me was either cooking a lot of bacon today, or barbecuing a pig. It was a great smell. Houses are far away, I was looking for smoke to see if it's a neighbor I could stop by and visit, just by coincidence.

Great BBQ doesn't need a lot of smoke to impart the wood flavor. Just
a kiss on the meat. Some times my neighbor come out from inside their
home

I did a butt last Sunday for lunch on Monday . 18 hours at 190° using lump
charcoal with a few chunks of cherry . Fell off the bone ... and also melts
in your mouth . Do you use a dry rub ?

Dry rubs on pork, I do. A very light coat of yellow mustard serves as
a "binder" and rubs stick for a better bark. The mustard doesn't
change anything or the taste. On beef just cracked black pepper and
kosher salt -- 2:1 ratio respectively.

Pretty much what I do, but a little garlic helps too, IMO.

Still too cold here to fire up the smoker though.
