With this wedding in mind, I bought a CyberQ WiFi. Son in law to be got it going. I bought a 8.8 lb brisket to test it. Daughter changed her mind as to where on the farm she wanted the big event to occur. We had her first choice manicured and looking great but we had to jump in and mow off a different ridge. So I've been really busy. Didn't get to cook the test brisket. Going cod turkey with the big cook. I must say, I'm very impressed with this little
gadget. It's holding temp within 2 or 3 degrees. I was able to monitor it from their Meet and Greet picnic 15 miles away. I may even get to sleep tonight.Tommy

Talk about putting it all out there-"no balls, no blue chips". Way to step up and we all know the priorities here-You will nail it-
Always remember, those most familiar with the planning and execution spend way too much time sweating everything and to the guests, it's a wonderful experience. Again congrats!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

@FarmerTom - Doing an over-the-top presentation of the bourbon offerings for sure. I hope the guests appreciate the differences and the opportunity to greatly expand their bourbon experiences. But given a wedding crowd I would seriously doubt it. But you have a great Father of the Bride pre-wedding evening organized. Enjoy it all.
BTW- nice job with the weather gods as well.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Go big or go home! Nice to get one off of the payroll. Congrats on the wedding Tom.

The 4 on my XL are on the home stretch. CyberQ is alright in my book. The temp has been a steady 225
My M however, is a different story. It went to sleep on me overnight. Was at 158 this morning. Had to pull everything and take my mapp torch to it. Have bumped it up to 300 to try and catch up.Tommy

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing! -
Tom, this is as epic as I knew it would be. You are a great father and a great man. If I had that much bourbon and brisket, you would not see me for days.
Enjoy this wonderful celebration.

Wedding / brisket update. The brisket was a hit. There was none left. They were by far the best I have ever cooked, and it couldn't have happened for a better occasion. Hard telling how many folks wanted to know how I cooked them. I credited my new son in laws rub for the great flavor. Still haven't gotten his recipe, but will post it when I do. Here's a pic of one of them:
So tender and moist.
As I said above, we had 2 kegs of beer, 13 - 750 ml bottles and 1 - 1.75L bottle of premium Ky bourbon plus several had their own coolers. This was all that remained Sunday morning. Keg's were floating, coolers were empty, and this lone, mostly full bottle remained. Guess someone was expecting @nolaegghead to appear.
Sorry for the poor pic, the sun wasn't positioned well, and I wasn't exactly in great form either.
Also had a cigar bar with a box each of A. Fuentes 8-5-8 Maduro, Rocky Patel Sumatra, and The Drew Estate Cold Infusion, plus lots of various inexpensive cigars. Cigars were a big hit. My sister started this family tradition with their son's wedding 2 years ago. Sorry, no pics of the cigars.. As @lousubcap would say, I was well into LEO (low earth orbit) when we broke out the good ones.
I've got to brag a little, my wife, daughter, son, daughter in law, sister, and new son in law, put.together one hell of a great/beautiful wedding and party afterwards. We had tons of complements and almost all our new son in laws family and friends plus our daughter's friends are from large metropolitan areas. They loved being way out in the country, and way back on our farm. It really was a great afternoon and evening, even if Sunday morning was a bit tuff for many of us.
Both kids are married now, so we won't have to be doing this again. Almost regret that. I won't miss all the work everyone had to do, but it sure was a great time.Tommy
