ok i have just put my second brisket in a week on the egg.... i was so impressed with my last attempt that i have invited a friend of mine and his family over to try this brisket.. i mean i live in s.c. so i really have no idea what a GREAT brisket is supposed to taste like so why not invite a texan over to sample... so i just put it on (we will serve around 6 tomorrow) and it is supposed to rain tonight here (WOOOOHOOOO!!) and i was sitting there looking at my guru and wondering what will really happen when it rains so i came up with this::::::::

    $159.00 and free shipping if you order it right from LaFuma hahaha

    I was getting ready to send the law to Chip's apartment to see if he was alive. He'll be in Danville next week-end.. Matthew will be there to.. Hell rumor is Mrs. Wolf may make a presence at Danville.

    I have already told Chip and Matthew to smack me if I try to micromanage.. I am there to cook and that is what I am going to do... I need to let then worry about all the rest of it.

    Yes the DigiQ II's have proven themselves in the line of fire. Not that I thought they wouldn't. :woohoo: One less thing for me to fret over..

    yeah, probably cheap excuse for being lazy. i just need to run to wally world and pick up one tommorow. i miss posting pics. Hey, i know you have answered this question a ton of times before but i cant seem to get the search option to do what i want it to do. I have an employee that is getting married the saturday of memorial day weekend. She has conned me into cooking pulled pork and brunswick stew for 150 people. What is the formula for how many pounds of bone in boston butts to feed that many. there will be other sides besides the stew but thats all im responsible for. Thanks for your help

    I knew there was a reason to get a second egg. ;) Now I just have to get the egg first. Then convince the accountant I need a Guru. :woohoo:

    Matthew will say "What recipe? All he does is throw this in and pour that in." Hey I use my Grandmother's measuring system what can I say.

    I am gonna make my sauces and rubs for Danville this week-end. If I remember I'll see what I can do about "canning" a couple jars.

    Don't hold your breath though.. You know I ain't good at shippin' things.. :woohoo:

    I could have sworn that disk drive was in my truck... :blush:

    BENTE you cheap sucker! When you going to build you a "Smoke Shack" of your own? When I get that small I keep crying about?!!!! :laugh: Seriously it is nice to be able to cook, listen to some good old rock and roll, and enjoy a cold one while the rain is coming down or wind is blowing during the winter. Those immitation bambo curtains realy help in winter!
