Life Is Good

BOBF

BGE - thanks for the Eggtoberfest. Had a good time and it was nice to me a lot of the regulars on this board.[p]Took some extra days after the fest to enjoy the Highland Games and visit a friend in North GA. The mountains and colors were beautiful - went thru what I believe is Neals Gap on the way to Ivy Log. Heavy rains had washed a lot of trout out of the trophy streams and some big fish were being caught in the area.[p]Did a 15 hour cook yesterday (2 - 6# briskets and 3 - 4# pork roasts on the XL with some of Dos Huevos' WGCB. Loaded up with 12# - 14# and had 5+ left after the cook. I have cooked briskets for 30 years and have never been satisfied. I guess the perfect brisket has yet to be cooked, but I am at least getting reasonable good at it.[p]This AM was 65 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and tiny breeze. Decided to clean the the egg by a high temp burn - it was just to pretty not to have smoke in the air. Drives the local dogs nuts and gets the golfers attention.[p]One neighbor asked it I would cook him some chicken as the smells were driving him nuts. Another came over to thank me for the Raging River I gave him and dropped off a cooler of Speckled trout and redfish - not a bad trade.[p]I knew owning a pickup truck would guarantee you friends, but a BGE doesn't hurt either. Sorry for the rambling, but I wanted to share.
