Stopped at a roadside joint in Memphis and the pitmaster was using a garden sprayer to spritz his ribs.

He said it was just a cheap pump sprayer from the hardware store, but he'd been using it for 8 years and swore it gave a better mist than any fancy bottle.

Garden sprayers are the real secret weapon. That wide mist covers way more surface area than a little bottle. It keeps the meat from drying out without washing off the rub. Smart move using cheap tools that actually work better.

Exactly, that wide spray pattern is a total game changer for big cuts. Lets you get a nice even coat without any dry spots or puddles. Plus you can mix your spritz right in the tank, so you're not constantly refilling some tiny bottle. It's one of those perfect "why didn't I think of that sooner" backyard hacks.
