Chunk-o-eggfest-chest!

Nature Boy

Looks like this thing is gonna happen. Things are falling in place. Thanks to great tips from JJ, as well as some folks on SongDog's, I am clear on what to do for this 2 stage brisket, and have been reassured it will be nearly as good as if I cooked it just before serving.[p]Also, I am excited cuz I just received a package with plenty of Shake's killer sauce. This is special stuff, and will go great with da brisket.[p]On top of all of that good news, I called every "butcher" in the area. Out of every "retail meat" vendor in the yellow pages, I found only one that spoke English and had briskets. The guy was very knowledgable, and they can do just about anything. He can get me a whole, untrimmed brisket WITH A FAT CAP! I guess they aren't in much demand around here. Anyway, for those in the area, this place is called Springfield Butchers (you guessed it...in Springfield)[p]It was nice to talk to someone who really knows meat. It sounds like I could have a new buddy, who will fix it up so all at the fest can enjoy a chunk-o-chunk-o-chest. [p]Eggcited

Nature Boy,[p]You are my hero. Don't be too proud, though, since I expect the title of "my hero" to be passed around after each tasting at E2K (Cat's ribs and turkey, Spin's pizza, said brisket, etc...).[p]Cornfed

I am definitely getting primed about E2K. To be surrounded by that many talented carnivores. I feel weak.

Nu-Guy,
Try this link. djm5x9 just ordered a gallon of it after trying it here while visiting. He charges $5 quart, $9 half gallon, and $17 gallon, plus shipping. By far it is the best sauce I have ever tried. Tastes good by itself, but the flavor multiplies with meat.[p]Cheers
