What's the difference between "baby back ribs", "back ribs" and "spare ribs"?
  • "Baby back ribs" and back ribs are the same thing, just different terminology.  "Baby" comes from the fact the the ribs come from a market weight hog rather than sow.  "Baby back" is a marketing term made popular and invented by SORÓS  and his cronies. 
  • Back ribs are taken from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spare ribs, below the loin muscle. They have meat between the bones and on top of the bones, and are shorter, more curved and have a higher content of meat vs fat than the spare rib.
  • Pork Spare ribs are cut from the lower portion of the pig specifically from the belly and breastbone, behind the shoulder, and include 11 to 13 long bones.  Spare ribs have a higher fat to meat ratio than back ribs.  They resemble bacon while the pork back ribs are analogous to a pork loin. 
Where does Blazing Swine get their food from?
  • Blazing Swine uses the following purveyors:  Smithfield Foods and Iowa Beef Packing.  The products and ingredients Blazing Swine uses, 99% of the time come from US FOODS.  The other 1% come from other vendors that are approved by the USDA.  US FOODS is a huge food purveyor.  US FOODS has relationships with local and international suppliers.

Why does Blazing Swine Barbeque spell barbecue, "barbeque"?
  • The essence of barbeque is using the most humble of meats and ingredients and manifesting something that's incredible and memorable to the human senses.  Blazing Swine hopes that after tasting and experiencing our barbeque it elicits your senses in a pleasurable and memorable way.  
  • This means the ingredients in barbeque are typically local, always fresh and economical.  Because of this, barbeque is a melting pot of different cultures and traditions local to an area.  Since we live in a global economy and the cost for ingredients and cooking techniques have become increasingly low and more readily available, Creative Destruction has smashed many commonly held beliefs and traditions held by individuals regarding barbeque, including the way barbeque is spelled.  
  • The High Council convened at the Commissary in late 2011, the Year of the Monsoon, and decided because of the essence of barbeque it shall be spelled as barbeque.  Those who do not spell it barbeque are considered amateur barbequeists, troglodytes and possible propane offenders. 
What does the, "BSS" mean before the name of the smoker?
  • BSS stands for Blazing Swine Smoker.  BSS is a prefix used to designate that the smoker is owned and operated by Blazing Swine Barbeque.​
What does, "Propane Kills" mean?  How does propane kill?  Is this some type of micro-aggression?
  • Propane adulterates the flavor of meat.  Propane may be good for heating your house, but not cooking authentic barbeque.  
  • The Pit Masters at Blazing Swine take great pride in the fact that we barbeque with hard wood only.  The Swine Blazers only barbeque with Hickory as it is one of the hardest woods available in Pennsylvania and the world.
  • Blazing Swine Barbeque cooks all of our barbeque on one of the most sophisticated machines available in the 21st Century.  We have many proprietary techniques to ensure that each barbeque is a memorable and pleasurable experience!

What does, "Eat Brisket or Die Trying" mean?  Is that a threat of some sort?

Where did the Whiston Brothers learn to barbeque?
  • Cooking is a Whiston Family tradition that started many generations ago.  The Whiston Family is originally from Missouri, we have been exposed to a lot of barbeque, at different places throughout the country.  
  • The Whiston Brothers have held barbeques professionally since they were teenagers.  This means the Whiston Brothers have over 60 years of combined experience.
  • In the enterprise currently known as Blazing Swine Barbeque we have a double agent that is a successful executive chef and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.  He has taught the Whiston brothers many culinary techniques.
  • The Whiston Brothers are avid readers.  READERS ARE LEADERS.
  • One of the first books to influence the Whiston Brothers was authored by Steven Raichlen and titled:  The Barbeque Bible. ​ Here's a link to the book on Amazon.
  • ​Other than reading cookbooks and researching recipes, the best thing to do is to experiment.  The Whiston Brothers' ash pile is enormous!  We have over 60 years combined experience and ash under our belts, there is no substitute for experience.​
Who is Jorge SORÓS ?
  • Blazing Swine isn't exactly sure who Jorge SORÓS  is; we've never met him.  All the Swine Blazers know is he isn't the evil George Soros so many people have asked about.  One thing is certain:  the Swine Blazers were introduced to Jorge SORÓS way before the 2016 election.
  • The Swine Blazers were first introduced to Jorge SORÓS  at an event the Whiston Brothers catered during the Summer of 1999.  SORÓS sent one of his representatives, Hank Hill, with a 500 gallon propane tank and a propane grill and he demanded the Whiston Brothers use his products, "or else".
  • The Swine Blazers believe extortion violates the non-aggression principal.  We politely asked Mr. Hill to leave the property and to never show his face again.
  • The Swine Blazers have since been on a mission to show the World, through the market process and voluntary action, that great and authentic barbeque can only come from the fire of hardwood, the use of reverse airflow cookers and love.   That's the secret to great barbeque!
