Title: What are those acronyms
Post by: smokendevo on September 01, 2014, 08:34:09 AM
I used FTC the other day and the member had to ask what it meant. So I will start a small list and don't be shy to add to it.

ABT - Atomic Buffalo Turd; stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon.
BB or BBR - Baby Back Ribs
BBQ - Barbecue: Foods cooked low and slow, and often smoked; not to be confused with grilling
BTW - By The Way
CT - Carolina Treet, brand name for a Carolina style vinegar based cooking and basting sauce that is growing in popularity on the Bradley forum board. It is especially good on chicken and pork.
CYM or YM - Cheap Yellow Mustard or Yellow Mustard
EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
FTC - Foil Towel Cooler
A resting / staging method of wrapping the product in Foil, then and old Towel, and place in a warmed Cooler (no ice). This keeps the product hot and allows flexibility in serving times. Most plan to get the food done early, then use FTC to hold the product until serving time. This method also acts as a passive oven, allowing the meat to cool slowly and evenly, while continuing the break down of connective tissue/collagen.
IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
IMO - In My Opinion
IT - Internal Temperature (of meat): The desired "doneness", measured at the thickness area of the meat using an instant read or probe meat thermometer.
OT - Oven Temperature (temperature of the oven / tower/cabinet, not meat)
PID -Proportional, Integral, Derivative
An electrical temperature control devise used to provide tighter temperature regulation of the smoker
PR or PRIB - Prime Rib
SRG - the Smoker, Roaster and Grill; an Infrared Smoker, Roaster & Grill by CharBroil.
TBE - The Big Easy; an Infrared Turkey Fryer by CharBroil
SWMBO - She Who Must Be Obeyed. Refers to getting permission from your significant other prior to making any decisions.

It took me a while to figure out what Sparky was talking about when he would talk about FT. They started selling it here in Alabama about 6 months ago. I am having one right now. And yes my wife has already told me that 10:30 in the am is too early but I have ribs in the smoker. Gotta have a beer while I cook, the meat won't cook right if I don't.

Good list.


One addition:

In most forums,    OT ="Off Topic." 

So in a cooking forum it can have two meanings, depending on where it's used.



Tip: Here's a BB code that can be used specifically for acronyms:


Syntax:
[acronym="Type Acronym meaning here"]Type_Acronym_Here[/acronym]

Example:
[acronym="Cheap Yellow mustard"]CYM[/acronym]

...will display the following result (hover your mouse pointer over the text below):

CYM

Don't forget "UMS".
It's what happens to us less fortunate guys that get caught by the boss lady drinking adult beverages to early in the morning while tending to the smoker.
UGLY MOOD SWINGS  :o  ;D

TP, (maybe I shouldn't shorten your name) your comment made me chuckle. I am a BJCP beer judge  (Beer Judge Certification Program) and judge at a lot of Homebrew competions. My wfe's friend, a non-drinker, once asked "what could be worse than drinking beer at 9am?" My reply - having to wait until noon....

So what that it is 10:30. I just look at it as a good thing that beer can't tell time.
