Where does FTC come from? When to use, not to use?

[pfowl01]

Hello,

   I've read alittle about this FTC thing and was wondering where does it comes from. I bought smoke & spice and didn't see it in there. From what I've read on the forum 1 1/2- 2 hrs. seems to be the norm, but what to use it on and what not to use it on? Is it a necessary step for most things or just personal preference?

FTC can be used on ribs, brisket, pork butt.  Not sure where it came from ???.  I always FTC my brisket.  Ribs and pork butt is if time allows.  Enjoy :P.

that was a good thread.

For some reason I had always "blamed" Olds for introducing FTC to the forum!!!! :-[

pfowl01's post prompted me to go searching and it was interesting to find out a bit more about the history of it.
