    You are scaring me man. Us NC guys are too much in sync. A couple of weeks ago we both did ribs. Tonight I did pizza and have a some ribeyes thawing for tomorrow.

    I did finally give making my own dough a shot for tonight's pizza. It came out OK, a little room for improvement on the dough but it worked. I still need to try Papa Murphy's. We have one down the road. Looks like good pizzas from there.

    pizza tonight. ribs tomorrow PM, and brisket overnight tomorrow for Sunday pool party


    C-T you should do a post with pics and step by steps on your Brisket cook. I'd love to see how ya do it brother
    Ok. I've done it once before but ive changed a few things. it's really simple and nothing that's not on here or the interweb 100 different ways. Glad to do it though. I think our main advantage down here is readily available high quality ingredients (aka good brisket).
    Thats no lie. Here in Central Texas, there is ALWAYS  a large supply of untrimmed packer briskets. It really makes a difference. On Fort Hood, they have 13-20 lb choice packers for $2 a pound. They are amazingly fat and marbled. 
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    Right! When I lived in WI, I never nailed a store bought brisket. I was always chasing these trimmed up cuts that were meant to be corned beef or stew meat. once I opened the restaurant, we had a CAB certified meat counter and I was buying CAB packers in cases (6 at a time). Those were awesome but they were more $ wholesale than I can buy retail here in TX. I mean, I wouldn't buy sashimi grade tuna from TX and I wouldn't expect to find the best brisket in Jersey (sorry Taz)

    Did a pork loin, portabellas, grilled romaine tonight,  Saturday I was hoping for my 1st brisket but I did not get it bought today so it is moving to Sunday.  I might try ribs tomorrow for dinner.

    I picked up my first Flank Steak ever which is marinading right now, and will be doing my first pork shoulder on the Egg (did many before on other smokers).  Other than that, a couple ribeyes and then sunday I'll be making a dish inside (Guinness stew, and Irish recipe).

    Well tonight it was a fancy pants, hoighty toighty grilled cheese sammich tonight...no it wasn't....yes it was....sorry, the voices in my head are trying to take over again. Really thinking about going back and scoring that lamb breast I saw earlier. Was so cheap, even if I f' it up it won't matter. Mrs. G has been gone a loooooooong time and I if I know her (which I should by now), she'll be craving burgers. If I have the time, I'll try and bake the buns on the Egg. Gonna play around with a cookie recipe with Heath toffee bits in it, on the Egg of course, otherwise why would I mention it....of course you wouldn't mention it if it wasn't on the Egg....that's what I was saying...just shut up already.....sorry about that, damn voices.Would like to tackle paella, but we'll see. None of this has been passed by SWMBO'ed yet. Oh damn....look at the time. I really need to get to bed if I'm gonna be on time to get Mrs. G from the airport at the a$$ crack of dawn. Happy Eggin' this weekend, wish all the best and look forward to the pics.

    Man.....wish I could find those in New England. I have found packers, but not even close to $2/lb.

    I'm still stuck working out of town, so cooking for me this weekend. My job ends next week, and then it's home for about a month....so there will lots of catching up to do.

    The Cen-Tex Smoker is talking about or 4 - 5 lb flats. I guess I need to check a wharehouse store but we let our BJ's membership run out since we do not go there often. May need to join back up since I have the egg now. Of course I have no idea if they have whole packers at our store though. I didn't have an egg or look for such things when we were members.

    Here is the finish. In cooler now. I used a 50/50 mix of white grape juice/ apple cider vinegar in the drip pan. Applewood for the smoke.
