    @20stone:  The SRF Ribeye Cap Steak you cooked was out of this world good!  I went on their website to potentially buy one, but noticed there are 3 different ribeye caps on there.  Can you please tell me the exact name of which one you served?

    Here is the cut: http://www.snakeriverfarms.com/northwest-beef/steaks/cap-of-ribeye.html (They were about 18 oz apiece).

    Here is the marinade recipe we started with: https://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/recipes/herb-marinated-rib-eye-cap-steaks/13415/
    (However, we dont like capers, and didnt have red wine vinegar, so we made a few mods)

    I'm glad everyone liked them.  Lisa and I really had a great time seeing lots of folks again, and meeting some new friends, too

    @JohnInCarolina, no hating.  Salado doesn't have a petting zoo, unlike your NC Butt Blast in sub-40 days from now.  Doesn't get any fresher than that.

    Wings were rubbed 48 hours in advance with Gumbo Shop rub and put into a large ziplock and refrigerated.  (I'm not sure there was anything magical about this rub - I just wanted to give it a little kick.)

    http://www.gumboshop.com/

    They were cooked direct at about 300 (the egg didn't have a thermometer) so it was a relatively slow cook that took - oh hell, I'm not sure how long.  Usually I time my cooks by the number of beers but we were sharing large bottles around.  Maybe 30-45 minutes.  Until they were fully cooked - but not all the way to really dried and crispy.  And I usually prefer indirect for wings, but the eggs at the after party didn't have a platesetter... so now I'm wondering if direct is better.

    The key is the sauce.  I've played with the ratios and here is what I have come up with:

    4 parts Minorcan datil pepper sauce: http://www.minorcandatil.com/Minorcan-Datil-Barbecue-Sauce.html

    5 parts Teriyaki sauce (I use Kikkoman)

    6 parts Buffalo wing sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's is my new favorite, but I've had good results with others).

    Mix the sauce in a large bowl.  Take the wings off when they are essentially done and put them in the bowl and get them covered in sauce.

    Put them back on the grill for 1-3 minutes to set the sauce/glaze.  If you do it for any longer they start turning black because of the sugar in the sauce. 

    Serve and eat.

    If you add corn starch to the rub - or use it as the entirety of the rub - they will be crispier and soak up sauce a little better.  However, what is described above is what got my loving bride to declare them the best wings I have ever cooked (she doesn't like the corn starch) so that's what I'm going with.

    And thanks @texaswig, and @photo Egg, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

    @Foghorn I think he picked up that trick from @caliking .

    I'm impressed he got away with it in the daytime!

    @Hotch - nothing but the best for you my friend :) I just need to find those somewhere by me. otherwise I may have to get @Foghorn's son to run some over for us.

    And BTW, that kid has obviously been brought up the right way - he tended the egg all day, and was still cooking for the afterparty in the evening. And he smuggles beer for his pops. I'm sending my son to Foghorn boot camp when the time comes.

    @Hotch yes it was glady shared. It was more than worth it, for the show some people put on. @Foghorn thanks man. Those wings were spot on. Something different for sure.  @caliking why do you have to find the 2 tallest guys there to take a pic with.

    Good call on the Foghorn boot camp. You couldn't do any better in my opinion!

    they found me.
    Sharing a cooking tent with him worked out well for me and @20stone.  When he served his fancy Indian tarts on his fancy 4 level display and serving tray on the tables that 20stone elevated with leg extensions, there were only a couple of us who could reach the top level of tarts.  Worked for me.

    @caliking, here's the beer locator for Allagash.  An initial look suggests that Atlanta is about the closest place to Houston where you can find that stuff.

    Yes to helping you drink your beer. For 5 years I brought two full coolers to the fest. Now I have to say they were so much better than @henapples beer but not in the same ballpark with yours. I could have taken 3 minutes and ran to the house for beer but hell, yours was better than anything at the house. 
    THANK YOU

    @Mickey, THANK YOU for founding the Salado Eggfest and giving us all many great memories over the years.  My cooler is always open for you. 

    And for the record, caliking isn't as short as we make him look in that picture. For all anybody knows, Little Steven is standing right in front of us.

    And @caliking and @Hotch, I'll pass the praise on to my son.  I enjoy basking in reflected light.  Especially with a beer in my hand.  A really good beer.  That he brought me.

    If you do end up getting your hands on some Allagash Curieux, don't let @20stone know unless you get a lot of it.
