@SGH - absolutely

This sounds like a blast... If I hadn't just blown a ton of PTO crapping my brains out, I'd try to make it.

I see epic posts in the future.

If I have any vacation time I have not used cause of the shoulder injury then we may be there for the class. We shall see.

I wouldnt mind seeing how centex does it. I normally just get as hammered as a human can get and pass out just after the meat goes on the fire. Luckily for me, it usually is pretty darn good. My family (in laws) are having a reunion next weekend. They all own huge trailer smokers and most are at least 4th or 5th generation Texans. They all do brisket all the time but they asked me to cook the brisket and ribs for the 60 or 70 folks that will attend. I'm flattered and nervous at the same time. These are people who know what it's supposed to taste like.

@travisstrick‌
I'm looking forward to watching brother Tex as well. Very interested in his thoughts and techniques. He seems to be very accomplished in this arena.

Follow the force...

Just do what you've done in the past and you should be fine.

Should be easy to pick up a bunch of cheap crockpots

I can't bring an Egg on a plane but I'd consider coming down. Any date set?

I actually do it just like Travis. Seems to turn out ok for me most of the time. Been in a slump lately though so we will see.

For those who are recent forum participants, even though @travisstrick and the  "How I do it" post is on the way to record views, he has moved on to the more conventional brisket cook methods  and routinely wins brisket cook comps.  FYI- I'm sure that is the driver behind his above cook happening.  And yes it is a tall order for a squid to say something good about a ground-pounder but sometimes you just have to set the record straight and allow the C2H5OH to flow!  Looking for low earth orbit tonight >-

Everyone love a seamen dressed in all white. Even us grunts.

But at least we think we are selective...and then along comes the next AM reality!

I wish I was local, that sounds like an awesome event, exactly what I need lol

yzzi

Gee, do I fly to NOLA for this or drive with @Mickey‌ to Banff??

SGH

Brother Tex I feel that if you are really in a slump that you are still leagues better than I am. I will be watching and taking notes my friend. Can't wait.

Date is set.

Weekend of Sept 20th.

We moved it up.

Trying to get a venue.  Details to follow.

SGH

Bump......

@nolaegghead‌ I've been watching this thread and I've gotta say. I'm jelly and wish I could attend :((

nolaegghead

@NPHuskerFL - I wish you could too.  I'm sure you can attend vicariously though the posts that follow and the NOPD police reports that ensue.  My neighbors and friends should get a good boost in business too.  http://www.digiulioutley.com/index.htm

Thatgrimguy

Well shoot. I can't make that weekend. Got a convention I'm sponsoring. 

NPHuskerFL

But, I won't be there except in spirit. Oh the agony. >:) For real it sounds like an excellent event!

SGH

@Thatgrimguy - sorry that weekend doesn't work for you.  We'll manage something in the future, as New Orleans becomes the new brisket capitol, I'm sure international cooks and the world's brisket connoisseurs will flock here for more egg-related events.

Thatgrimguy

If nothing else, feed them hurricanes and hand grenades and take them to Ricks. After that, they will absolutely believe that the bisket and the lucky dog are the best foods on earth

nolaegghead

No Ricks.  We might put a pole up in the party area, and if we can peel henapple off it for a few moments, invite a few SWMBOs to take it for a spin.  We'll stock some bacon to lure him away.

SGH

For anyone interested. If space permits I'm going to demonstrate how I cook a packer on my small offset tuned pitt as well as show how i cook a flat without using a pan on the egg. Hope to see everyone there!

IndyDrew

Whatever you do, don't cook an SRF wagyu. That stuff is nasty!

Centex and TFJ are rolling in with 2 other couples. 6 total so far. This could get weird.

NM. double post.

And I consider Eggcelsior to be my personal manservant and I believe he and his lovely bride (and her sidearm) will be staying in the same hotel. That makes 8.

My friends from NC own a place in the Quarter they claim was Marie LeVeaux's house. I might ask them if I can stay there. I assume that will be close to this gathering.
