@TEXASBGE2018 - I know nothing about bacon burnt ends but I do have some run time with this pork belly burnt ends recipe - http://howtobbqright.com/2017/04/17/pork-belly-burnt-ends/  You may be able to adapt to replicate your experience.  Regardless, enjoy the above recipe.  You will not be disappointed.

Hope y’all don’t mind.  I thought it might be good to bring this up top.  I remember the post - thought it was pretty cool.

Glad you made it to Mecca before your passing brother.

Rest in peace knowing you had the best of the best.

Great post.
I've lived in Austin going on 5 years. As good as Franklin's is, there are several places around Austin that provide just as good BBQ. So, my recommendation is, if any more trips are planned out this way, take the time to explore. Just to name a few, Black's, la Barbeque, Valentina's, Coopers and probably my favorite Louie Muellers in Taylor.

I was watching a Food Network Show on Texas BBQ and of course they were worshiping at the house of Franklin. They visited other places too. One quote stuck with me. "If you wait in line more than 10 minutes for good BBQ in Austin, you're either not very bright or you have way too much spare time"

I'll add another plug for Lockhart. The whole town smells glorious. We enjoyed Black's very much.
