It wouldn't be brisket camp without a few slices of the digits:




@FleurdeLirious took care of me Saturday night after I caught an edge of the brisket knife trying to cut up some bread.  It is literally a flesh wound.

OMG @JohnInCarolina that's probably the WORST bandaging job I've ever done! Musta been the margaritas.

Where's the duct tape?

Did the chick with the pink outfit (in pre event video) attend the brisket camp? The one shaking her booty?

theyolksonyou

@northGAcock alas, no.

Just got home from Brisket Camp! It's been a great weekend. I'll see y'all next year.

FleurdeLirious

@piney glad y'all made it home safely and that your wife didn't tuck Jazz kitty into her purse. Look forward to seeing you again.

Epilogue: 

After Sunday breakfast at the location, where attendees were both bleary-eyed and enthusiastic, and where we cooked bacon, beef cheeks and served up bloody marys and other concoctions, Bridget and I said good-bye to the out-of-towners as they departed our fair city.  We cleaned up, moved some grills back to their homes and moved all the stuff we brought out, mostly to our back yard.

Monday we got almost all of the back yard cleaned up, looked better than before the event, and shucked two bags of oysters, made an oyster stew and cooked about 20 pounds of chicken we never got around to cooking.  Had some friends over for dinner, and it was wonderful. 

Spun some vinyl albums, probably too loud for our neighbors, but being the neighborhood redneck is par for the course.

I paid Liam for the event, he was happy that we cleaned up perhaps to the extent it was better than when we started.  I apologized for the fire extinguisher that was depleted, told him I'd pay that bill and we still have a big chunk of lamb carcass that red wants to make a broth with, and a couple of eggs that I will return on Tuesday night, as my back has refused to lift anything over 50 pounds since Sunday morning.

So all is well, and our house is clean...the manbearcave is no worse for the wear, and I am signing off.

Thanks to everyone that made this happen, and I will defer the accolades to future posts and, until next year, where we will unleash the madness again, thank you forum where we all connected as friends in real life.  And that, (I know this sounds sappy) is what living is all about.

What's your paypal.  I wanted to send you some money and the fire extinguisher thing is on me.  It was my UDS that started it and my dumbass that put the bag of coal to close to it.

Between now and the next brisket camp I already have 8 Competitions scheduled. The Winnebago will be even better stocked up by next year!  Apocolypse be damned.  My parking lot cooking skills should be well honed by then.

@Thatgrimguy, do you do any KCBS competitions and how far north do you travel?

We are trying to focus mostly on KCBS and stay within a 5-6 hour drive time. So that puts me mostly searching the coastal Comps. Once we get comfortable with the new smoker and keep getting calls we will undoubtedly start driving further to do more KCBS instead of filling so many weekends with the local more backyard type stuff.  So far I have only done 2 KCBS but we are really really new to this.

It is a lot of fun.  I have started helping out my brother in law in two comps and the last the American Royal which is a cool time.  I hope to help him even more next year.  The season is about done up here in KC.

That's really cool. I used to be into NCIS and NCIS: LA, but haven't watched in years. I just set the TiVo to record tonight's NCIS: NO, thanks for the heads up.

nolaegghead

The NOLA version of NCIS is the only one I've ever watched.  They shoot in my neighborhood all the time.

Now all you Brisket Campers can be all hipster like, "I saw Yes Ma'am at this small bbq club one night before they hit the prime time.  It was awesome!"

TigerTony

This is what was written on the Yes Ma'am Face book page. Not sure who wrote this or who Matt is.

TONIGHT!!!! The red carpet premiere of Yes Ma'am appearing in an episode of NCIS. It starts at 8, and I guess we're closer to the beginning so you don't have to sit through a buncha ****. Come watch Matt freak the fvck out about being on tv. Oh yeah and obviously at St. Roch

theyolksonyou

Dvr  baby!  Imma be one of the cool kids!

TigerTony

The unfinished bar at the beginning of the episode where he is showing the girl singer.
That is Warren's Corner where we had last years brisket camp.

Hey, just they're at crazy Dave's mansion!  They guy across the street from brisket camp with the nice house owns that place.

TigerTony

Never saw the band yet but here's Warren's Corner

Hotch

Wow brings back some good memories of BC #1!

TigerTony

Oh well. I didn't see the band. Maybe in another episode. 
I actually enjoyed the show though.

Hotch

@TigerTony Were they playing the music during the Warren's Corner scene?

It was 199k.  Crappy neighborhood and it's falling apart.  Location location location.   But 5700 square feet and lots of land....if I had 400k I would buy it.

Looks like they are on next week according to their FB page
