@Mickey‌ I sure will brother Mick.

Is this the knife you were telling me about?

SGH

Because I know brother Tar and brother Phat are looking. I thought I better eat 11 dozen.

@Cen-Tex_Smoker You guys cooked some great briskets and thanks. It just goes to show you that there many ways to cook great brisket. All were moist and tender.

I must admit I was not a fan of hot and fast brisket prior to the "Camp" but after this weekend I know now I can make it happen. We will see you in Salado.

If it wasn't then I would hate to see that one. These are like Lawrence of Arabia sh!t. Crazy huge and sharp as a scalpel.

Victrinox. .. I literally bumped the knife and cut myself.

I'm still not a fan of hot and fast but the event kind of called for it so that's how we rolled. Next time will be low and slow for sure.

No. That in the pic is a massive breaking knife. They don't come any larger. The knife I left for you is a true slicer. But I personally did the hollow grind work on it. The knife I left for you is 2 inches longer than the big breaker. I think you will like it.

@SGH Would this be the one?

I agree. Next time someone asks for brisket the same day, I am good to go. Thanks to nolaegghead, Cen-Tex and SGH.

@nolaegghead‌ I'm sure you had a lot of planning and a great amount if work involved with this one. From the pics it looked and sounded like a fantastic time had by all. I hope to make next years if there's another... Great job and thanks for sharing with all!!!

I'll throw this in- NOLA paid for this out of his pocket (and it was significant). If you attended and have a few bucks to throw toward the cause, PM NOLA and make amends. He hasnt asked for a nickel but if you have a little, give a little. If you don't, then good on you for coming. That is all.

I was wonderin about that.

I'd say he had at least a few thousand wrapped up in it. If were lucky and this thing has wheels we'll need to come up with a plan for that.

It was north of $3k.

Mail the man a check. He puts on an INSANE party. This will be an annual event, for sure.

SGH

I know for a fact that brother Nola has a little over 4 grand invested. I myself am going to give and give generously. I feel that I should. This was a great thing that he did for us all. The Good Book says: Give and it shall be given unto you. That is a quote from the true undefeated heavyweight BBQ champ of all time- brother Jesus.

SGH

@‌Austin Egghead
Sister if we are complete with all the umbilical work off shore I will be in Salado. It's going to be close either way. Would be my honor to meet you sister.

Durangler

Seriously.... someone send me a name and address for NOLA.
I'll chip in a Fiftyspot for just watching this on the internet from Peoria Arizona!!

SGH

@henapple‌
I told brother Nola to keep it. He snuck half of it on my trailer before I drove off. So now I have half as does he.
That was a fine gift brother Apple. I will send your chickens out as soon as they freeze my friend.

SGH

@henapple‌
Brother Apple what idiot told you that you could apply more rub late in the cook to even out the bark? He doesn't know what he is talking about. That could not possibly work my friend

henapple

Maybe I had too much to drink.

SGH

Unit 1 and the Party Monster both made it home safe.

DMW

@SGH Did Party Monster ride back in the trailer along with Unit 1?  :-?

ChrisgrillsSTLMO

Glad everyone survived and made it home safe. There were "n" people who were actually at the event and there will be 100"n" people who claimed they were at the event. I am truly in awe of the cooking that occurred, the pics and descriptions of the cooks make it EPIC. Kudos to @NOLA, @SGH, @Cen-Tex Smoker for all of their work on this event, and to all the others I might have missed. The rest of us stand on the shoulders of giants such as you.

Cheers!

Agreed. That guy must be a total asshat. ).

SGH

@DMW‌
I let him ride up front for the ride home. 2 nights ago Party Monster and Brother Apple was riding around the streets of NO in trailer drinking beef and smoking cigars. I'm not sure that was a cigar Party Monster was smoking. Had a strong and powerful smell to it.

@SGH this is Fleur deLirious (AKA NOLA's better half). I'm too lazy to try and remember my login and such, so I'm taking advantage of NOLA leaving the laptop open on the forum to add my $.02. What an amazing event this was! And on my birthday, no less. I never dreamed it would come together so well. Despite your humble postings, SGH, YOU pumped out such an amazing volume of food that I'm still in awe. As others have attested, the cream cheese/jalapeno tenderloin was incredible. The stuffed chickens were visually a work of art, and equally impressive on the palate.
@Cen-Tex, your Wagyu briskets were amazing as well. EVERYONE contributed to the great food and good time had by all. From the smallest to the greatest contributors, all helped to make this event a success. And I'd like to give a special shout-out to all the members of the BGE Wives Club -- we all put up with a lot of S$!T standing behind our men (or maybe we clean it up...) but the tasty treats they toss off those grills ease the pain (along with the fresh-squeezed-lime-and-orange-juice-margaritas!).
@SGH, thanks also to you and Party Monster for helping us clean up the site and move the big stuff with your awesome trailer.I know you were already tired out from your long day standing watch over the smoker. As if that wasn't enough, you and Party Monster then shucked and grilled oysters at our place this afternoon. You are beyond generous and such a great person!!! We look forward to hooking up with you and all the other wonderful Eggheads again in the near future. I am totally in support of this becoming an annual event, although I will advise that this is the peak of hurricane season...
