    So either Stone-y is a man of considerable talent, or that guy at Ace has a really miserable wife. You do what you gotta do though - Rock wood for Rockwood.

    The funny thing is, I HAD a new bag, but gave it to a buddy who just bought an egg, and I didn't want him to be without. He banged out some pizzas tonight and had a good time, so it was worth the temporary shortage at this end, though it did require a harried trip to remedy. Others my have a pallet ratholed in their garage, but our cars go in, so I just make sure that my local Ace keeps it in stock, which they do just for me.

    I'm in the rat holed pallet bunch.  Always be prepared.  Quit boy scouts as a tenderfoot.  Got 18 bags of RW in the garage.  Bought it up at 20% off.  Usually only keep 4 or 5 =)

    Wishing I was there.  I paid for 1/6 of that pig. Apparently, because I’m not present I’m relegated to getting testicles and anus. And as much of a treat as that might be for someone like @SGH, I prefer more standard cuts...

    So I bribed them with the gift of beer. We’ll see how it goes.

    That garage is indeed a wonder. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    8 bells on which watch? 8 bells signified the end of a 4 hour watch, so did you guys start at 0000, 0400, 0800, 1200, 1600, or 2000?

    On another note that is one seriously gorgeous garage.

    I actually provided it. Since I can’t  be there I have to contribute something.  I figure the “drinking of Foghorn’s Curieaux” is now a tradition.

    Quite a day.  I’ll post a bit more when I’m not so beat down, but the fellas did some work today. Here are a few pics to give you some flavor. 


    310 lbs of pork “feet up”, pulse 44 lbs of 44 Farms top round (to soak up some of the surplus fat) and a brisket (because brisket). 10 lbs of Dorper lamb got added to the mix later. 


    Mangalitsa pigs are real butterballs. Here is a “NY strip” next to its back fat.  Fantastic fat and tons of it. 


    The color of the meat is really more like tuna. Miles away from “the other white meat”


    The fellas banging out Texas beef sausage.  We made 50 lbs of it to soak up some of the back fat.  Figuring out a recipe w/ @The Cen-Tex Smoker was fun the night before. This took 3 lbs of jalapeños and 120 cloves of garlic. A huge win. 


    The Meat Locker in “fridge mode” for the weekend + four more lugs in coolers with sausage meat and cuts. 


    The fellas crushing the brisket (killer - done in the dishwasher), test patties of the Texas beef sausage and @caliking’s bread. Utensils were not used. 

    More wore work to be done tomorrow (lots of it) but so far so good

    Man, I really hate that I'm not there. So jealous...
