    @SonVolt Let us know how it turns out. I never can get mine tender. I’ve tried to make Braciole 2-3 times and it’s never been good. I keep going back in though because it looks/sounds so good. 
    Maybe someday I’ll learn to cook.

    As above, welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Great menu right there especially the juice.  Above all, have fun.

    @Foghorn - some serious groceries and rigs right there.  Beyond that a great and I'm sure much appreciated gesture.  Those are the kinds of things that keep people committed to the team and inspire them do whatever to "get it done."  Way to make a meaningful and actionable difference.  Many thanks from afar.

    Sometimes you just need to pound your meat more than you think.

    @JohnInCarolina 9 hours for 12+ lbs of SRF at around 300*F on the dome is definitely not an outlier cook for me.  The brisket gods are riding with you on this as evidenced by your early check on the cook.  Again great gesture and congrats on the whole deal.

    Just finished cleaning up the driveway, grilling area, and kitchen. Spent yesterday making 120 individual BBQ meals for coworkers.  Used a borrowed pit to complement mine.  Did 30 racks of ribs, 50 chicken halves that we split into quarters, 4 giant pans of smoked mac and cheese with hatch chilis, grilled veggies, and homemade chocolate covered rice krispy treats.  

    The pics suck because we were so busy - so I decided not to start a thread just for this.  We kept the team lean and distanced so there wasn’t any rest from 5:30 AM to sometime after 6 PM. 
    Way to roll right through it @foghorn great cook great reason

    Bonus points for gloving the ribs and not destroying your hard work with Tongs

    Pre-salting the drive. It will make plowing easier when this crap is over. 12” of light, powdery snow, moderate winds and open farmland area = nightmare to keep roads clear. Sub-zero temps won’t help much. 

    Tri-tip on the menu for tonight

    Thanks @lkapigian.  I've hung out with some competition teams and learned some of their trick.  In a cook this large I don't use them all (for example, we didn't inject the chickens), but I do go with what seems operational.  We did wrap the ribs in foil and use margarine and brown sugar in the foil.  They got rave reviews.

    @SciAggie

    It wasn't worth the hassle, tbh. I had no problems getting it tender during the braise, but b/c it's flank steak it had an unappealing stringiness in the muscle fibers that I didn't care for.  It was also a lot of work to butterfly it, pound it out thin, stuff it, roll & tie. By the time it's done the cheese in the stuffing has melted out and the rest of it just gets lost in the mix.  I feel I get much better bang for my buck with a standard "Sunday Gravy" of short ribs, meaty pork neck bones and Italian sausages.

    @SonVolt That’s my experience with the filling coming out. I think I’ll just mark a line through that recipe and not bother with it again.

    Just got to work.  I'm not on the schedule to work today but some colleagues are iced in at home and it's going to get worse.   So, two of us went in just to be here for tomorrow because those who are on call tomorrow are already landlocked - and most of the roads in the city just got closed.

    Did some pork for tea tonight, skin separated part way through cooking to make sure it was crunchy.


    Is Valentine's Day a thing in Europe?

    Don't say the E word, we're not in Europe any more, we cast off our mooring and are drifting off into the Atlantic.

    I got Anne a card. She got me some nougat and a nice earthenware cup. I'm ahead in this game, and who doesn't like roast pork and crackling?
