    I am one devastated egghead right about now. I ruptured my bicep tendon loading the egg into my truck. it twisted while we were lifting and the corner of the hinge jammed into my bicep with it fully loaded up with the pressure of supporting the egg. made a horrible popping sound and now my bicep is all balled up by my shoulder. just got back from the emergency room. Orthopedic consult in the morning. I am so bummed out-I just want to go to bed, Sh!t. 

    It does not hurt as bad as it looks but I'm done. Surgery likely, down for weeks
    I haven't read the entire thread yet but just wanted to jump in to say how great it was that you and your wife were volunteering and organizing, and how terribly sorry I am that you got hurt - when you were trying to help people. Beyond unfair. (I know no one ever promised us life was fair, but still.)

    P.S. I will not look at the photos and thinking about them makes me put my head down on the table. {breathe}

    Good luck today everyone, and @The Cen-Tex Smoker given your broken wing, maybe you can join the Free Hugs team.    
    Did someone say "broken wing"?!

    Cen-Tex, my buddy just had his surgery for this same problem this morning.  5 months of rehab.  But don't think it's bad at all.  Unless you git Nurse Ratchet (or Bridget).

    Dude, where the hell are y'all?? Can't seem to raise @20stone on the telephonic device either. 

    Pops and I will be there tomorrow morning. Probably 8ish.

    I appreciate your volunteer efforts, especially with that broken wing ;)

    Thinking about it, loin is a good choice.  In bulk they're probably getting it for about a buck a pound, cooks quickly with very little weight loss. 

    Loins are a little boring to me, but I'm tellin' ya, it's like camp food, best thing on the planet if you're a week into eating MREs.  And I'm certain the stuff you guys are churning out is top quality. The butts will be a great treat for everyone.

    @Foghorn, I'm curious about your SA group. OBR is also set up in Victoria (at a much smaller scale than Houston). 

    It looks like you guys are also pushing some real tonnage. BGEs are great for a lot of things, but it's hard to feed a convention center full of folks 2 butts at a time.

    @20stone, yeah some of the logistics are not clear to me.  The number of meals we need to provide has fluctuated from 300 to 2000 for each meal. 

    This is a collection of competition BBQ teams who came together with some support from Santikos Theaters and Kiolbass Smoked Meats.

    Exactly right. Loins are cheap, easy to cook and high yield. This is not type of bbq that you would do for friends but it's good serviceable food. I would say it's made with love but not a lot of soul :). Had a few nibbles. Ive had way worse at
    many bbq restaurants. 

    Off to take the morning shift to pull and pack those 500 butts you saw last night.

    There are a dozen competition teams here, each with a different kind of pit.

    That is actually how OBR got started, and then they got Jonzed, and now have 8 Old Hickory smokers that hold around 100 pork butts apiece. My kind of guys

    You can see in that pic of @20stone slicing up a loin, that he starts out with Jonz size slices, then gets down to mere mortal sized portions.
