Few things better than next day, leftover brisket tacos, sandwiches, enchiladas or whatever else you can think of

And Davey

Good looking brisket, smoke ring is a superficial detail

I cooked one of the best briskets I've ever done around a month ago. Weather forecast seemed good, slight chance of rain. Got the brisket on around 4am and have it chugging along at 250ish. Around 7am I see lightning off in the distance and don't pay it too much attention, seemed like it was moving to the north and would miss us. Next thing I know all hell breaks loose, strong winds, torrential rain, firebox temp drops to 110 degrees and can't raise it no matter what. Wait out the storm for about 30 min and get the temp back up and then the winds kick back up and it's a constant battle to maintain any sort of even temp. It would spike to 325 and then down to 200. Finally just gave up, wrapped it and moved it to the oven around noon. Figured it was all a waste now and just wanted to be done with this one and move on. Then it got to 203 and I probed and it was smooth as butter and I instantly knew it was gonna be a good one. There's no rhyme or reason to brisket, you can do everything perfect and it turns out shitty or everything that can go wrong will and it turns out perfect

Sirois made me forget Danny was furloughed

Me and my best friend Peter decided to make a go-kart, we were bored, around 10 years old, and his dad was an architect and had plenty of scrap wood in his garage. Over a week or so we had pieced together this rudimentary kart, the steering consisted of a straight board that could pivot, the wheels fixed to either end. Came time to test it and it was determined I would be the test pilot for its maiden voyage and the hill on Possum Trot St in Austin would serve as the launching point. I'm scared as shit but acting as confident as I could muster and I get on the thing and he nudges me off. I remember it got going a lot faster than I wanted a lot faster than I expected and there's a turn at the bottom of the hill. I get towards the bottom at the turn and see a white vw bug coming straight at me and it was at this point I realize we had never even considered any sort of braking system. So I steer towards the curb on the right and dive out right as it's about to hit the curb and going flying into a patch of reeds that nicked my arms and face up pretty good. The guy in the bug stops and gets out and I'm thinking he's going to call the cops or something so I start running and find somewhere to hide and finally make my way home. Peter had seen it all from the top of the hill and took off running back home, just left me. Was scary as hell back then but looking back I'm sure the guy in the bug saw me way before I saw him and stopped and watched and then got out to see if I was ok. We went back the next day and the kart was in the same place but someone had moved it off the street. That was our first and last attempt at a kart.

Anyone have any ideas for sides? Doing a brisket tomorrow and I always do beans, potato salad, mac n cheese and/or collard greens. Still going to do beans and probably mac n cheese, just want to try something different. Or maybe a different spin on something

She always looks like she just finished a shoot

Not sure how if this will work on tapa https://i.imgflip.com/3zbheh.gif

Mike's No Wake Zone was so great. Hardline has been really good this week

I was never a big pepper fan until I started doing briskets and added way too much pepper to the rub one time. I didn't want to wash it off and do it over so I just smoked it and the bark turned out amazing. Now I add too much pepper to just about everything

Tapa repost

I like Danny, I think he does a good job with the pig pen segment and is ok in general. He can have a great sense of humor and drops random comments that bring the lulz but Sirois is solid and doesn't try to overtalk the hosts and just in general knows his role and stays within it.

Trey was fucking awful today. It's easy to forget how good Mino is until he's gone.

This is and always has been fascinating to me. These videos leaked a while back and they were dismissed and it's amazing to me that even now the Pentagon is confirming they're real and we still dismiss them. Everything aspect is interesting from what exactly those craft were to the culture we've cultivated that this is a non-story to the average American

Sucks for him but Sirois is an instant upgrade

Costco cheese pizza and leftover pulled pork

Day 1 with no Mino is not going so great

Few things better than homemade fried chicken, well done. What did you add to the batter?

Thanks man, I snapped the last pic and wasn't sure if it should be in steel shank or shit I've cooked. I guess the pineapple and lack of paper plate should have made the decision obvious for me

I know one guy at work that listens to the fan and he fits fits the stereotype, wears cargo shorts and a jersey and wouldn't be surprised if I saw him on youtube starting a fight at an NFL game. I don't want the ticket affiliated with the Cowboys because fake Jerry and fake Stephen among others would cease to exist. If I want to listen to a station suck off Jerry I'd just switch to the fan.

Post pics of the burnt ends when they're done. I haven't done pork belly burnt ends in forever, so good

Smoked a pork shoulder and wanted to try something besides the same bingo ank sauce sandwiches. Made a pineapple, chipotle, adobo sauce to go on tacos and elote on the side. Pic doesn't do it justice but it was pretty damn good.

After a challenging morning guarding the back porch from a bird with a nearby nest she sailed right through nap #3 and straight into nap #4

Was the mask really necessary?
