Learned this the hard way working on a job in Tuscaloosa once. Guy I was with said the same thing, just lay em dry. Mortar was like sand by noon. Had to chip everything out and start over. Never again.

Oh man, I still buy remasters just for the native controller support though.

That's a rough feeling, I totally get it. Are you still playing the originals or did you go back to the remasters for the convenience?

So does that make your rooster literally a mini T-Rex with feathers?

Cook them too hot at 275" - that guy was probably the same kind of person who thinks there's only one right way to do anything. I get that standard low-and-slow is the gospel around here, but you know what? Your ribs, your smoker, your rules. If they're coming out perfect at 275 for 4 hours, then that's just facts. People get weirdly gatekeepy about temps like it's some sacred number or something.
