    Might try Cat's Ribs. Have all the ingredients... except, you know, the actual ribs.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I’d love to see that.  Should be the easiest ingredient to get, no?

    Gonna do a batch of Ron’s “Red Wings” using Thighs. Wings are good, but thigh is better at 1/3 the price. Might throw in some drummies as well

    Of course. But it IS the one thing I have yet to buy.

    Tapatio Doritos.
    Careful!  I like Tapatio sauce, good taste and moderate heat.  But, I've had a Tapatio-flavored Dorito product, name escapes me but they were like doritos rolled up into tubes (hard on the teeth) and the heat about took my head off!

     Takis!! They are an acquired taste, but I like them now.

    Will be holed up in the house trying to survive the oncoming white death.  Will be making some brisket chili and drinking as much beer as I can.

    That has to be a Southwest thing. Love Doritos and enjoy tapatio but never even heard of those.

    Yes sir, @lousubcap.  We're doing a group warm up or practice or group swim noon Saturday followed by Happy hour sponsored by a local brewery and a few restaurants Saturday afternoon.  I'm staying the night at the event hotel Sat night. 

    That puts me away from the Casa Sat 1030 until things wrap up Sunday prob 1400.  I learned the horn sounds for my wave at 0850.  Any moments of silence on my behalf from then until about 1050 are welcomed!

    Thanks for the confidence.  I'm sure it will all go well.  It may take awhile, but I don't plan on getting plucked out of the water.

    We shall see.

    Doing a dry run on my new offset. A BigHat Ranger. Doing some brisket and ribs starting at 5am, so trying get a handle on temp control on this thing
    Please keep us posted!
    The cook went great. [in Doug Marcaida voice] "It will cook".... I even documented the whole thing with my fancy camera... downloaded the pics and they were all black... The exposure compensation dial had been turn to -3... A couple of outside shots came out with some manipulation, but no finished products. Bummed. Now to clean it up....

    I had two grate probes to check the difference between left & right sides (my first cook on this pit). At this point the second one is just dangling, since I didn’t need it any longer. In the market for a new thermometer/alert system.
