Whole NY Strip for 7/3 with Q-view

Thanks, it was all very good!  You know it is good when nobody can get up from the table until about 30 minutes after they finished eating.  Everybody was overly stuffed. 

I also came up with a new BBQ sauce that was out of this world.  I just hope that I can replicate it.  It is a very sweet sauce with quite a punch in the end.  While it is about 40% vinegar it didn't have the acidic flavor, just sweet and heat.  The only thing that I would have done different is not waste such a cut on a brisket style smoke. 

It (the beef) pleased the masses (which is why it was done that way) but I know that my father and I didn't enjoy it as much as we would have had I treated it like a true roast and served medium rare.  I had to make the chicken for my mother as she doesn't eat red meat. 

This is my chore for today.  I am putting in a closed-loop geothermal system and I have to fix the earth that was disturbed. 







And, no, I'm not using the shovel and wheelbarrow that is in the picture.
