    fingers crossed for anybody in the big bend of Florida.

    I’m just SE of Tampa in Riverview. Had a neighbor’s tree fall into my yard, but no damage and other than a bunch of clumps of leaves, we were essentially unscathed, Thank God. This storm was weird. I got more rain here at my house for Debby, but more wind for this one. About a mile from my...

    What are you listening to ?

    I put together a playlist of old Kansas classic prog rock and have been playing it pretty much non-stop for the past few months. I forgot how much I loved their music. Not just the big hits, but the deep cuts, too. (Journey from Mariabronn, Belexes, song for America, The Wall, The Pinnacle...

    Pretty cool Military/bbq thing

    This is awesome. I live about a 1/2 hour away (no traffic) and will definitely stop in. Plus, I'm a former Army Officer, too, so this hits home.

    First brisket, appreciate direct feedback so next is better

    I don't know why this thread came up in my feed. It did, so I replied, without checking the dates.

    First brisket, appreciate direct feedback so next is better

    I always wrap with butcher paper around 165. Also, I add a bit of beef tallow on it when wrapping helps to keep it moist. I bring my brisket up to 203, and do the bend test. The slice should bend nicely in the middle but not break when you pick it up in the center. Search for "brisket bend...

    Corned Beef or Pastrami? How about both

    I LOVE pastrami and corned beef. Every March, I will go the day after and buy up a bunch of the left over corned beef packages that go on sale after St. Paddy's day. Then I smoke a few and freeze the rest. One of my favorites is to make a Pastrami and Provolone cheese steak. Basically, it's...
