Andrew Zimmern famously featured pig snouts, locally known as "snoots," at Smoki O's BBQ during a 2013 visit to St. Louis. He was so impressed with the dish that he ranked Smoki O's snoots among his top 10 favorite barbecue dishes in the United States.

Well, yes, there's that as well as pig brain sandwiches at Schottzie's Bar & Grill if you're into that kind of thing.

Great advice and tips, I need to check all of these out.

Yes, I understand the thoughts about modifying a cheaper cue for an extensin, but when you feel comfortable with a specific cue, you want to keep it current. Even with my two Cuetecs that are legacy cues, which I use regularly, they don't have any threads in the butt end, so in this situation I will probably have to put in a solid plug and somehow cut threads in for a screw in insert. My biggest issue is that I don't have a lathe. I know that there are threaded inserts for screw in bumpers that accept extensions, although for my Cuetecs I want only a 4" extension and there are only 6" and above available commercially, otherwise i have to have one custom made.

Nope explained it correctly. You can even hold the cue level at your side loosely with thumb and forefinger and rotate your hand like you’re trying to lift the tip(hammer head) without moving cue. This is how I rotate it on backswing and snap the hammer on return.

i am glad it works for you

How much does this insert weigh? It looks like a good alternative unless it is a few ounces of metal?

For inexpensive cues as a do it yourself person I have had no problem just using epoxy to attach a rear cue extension bumper to several cues.

It has worked just fine - for more expensive cues I have handed it off to the cue maker to do the threaded route.

The Meucci 95 series has threads behind the original rubber bumper that accept some threaded extension bumpers and usually you can avoid a weight bolt change.

I just got a round of the Blue TAOM V10 chalk, I want to use it for a couple weeks before a review, is it the same as the green? Not sure yet...

I had just assumed the formula was the same regardless of color, but some people claim colors can slightly change the formula. The green Taom might apply a touch easier. I can’t prove it, though.
