    Not new, just finally coming back home...

    I don't think we met before, but I'm looking forward to some interaction in the future. Upon my return I too learned that several people I respected had passed along. But, with the wonderful world of technology, their insights and knowledge will be saved for others to see! Thanks brother, I'm...

    Glad I have somewhere out of the weather to smoke.

    Nothing beats being a die hard smoker with quality electronics! Won't be long and we'll all be back in shorts and flip flops! I keep telling myself that.

    Louisiana Crawfish 2024 Update

    I hate to hear this, but from what I understand, this will be an overall good thing for future harvests. I'll still have to do at least one crawfish boil just to keep my sanity!

    The Gods of smoke are on my side, so far... Pics now

    It was a great day indeed! Great people, lots of good food, and some serious story telling! Glad you liked the music. #1 son had a friend in college that did music for YT that you only pay him for it once and use it forever. He has since changed that sales plan, but he let me keep going with it.

    The Grandmother's (Memaw's) 100th birthday was a MAJOR success. She had a great time, we got to see a lot of people, and I MAJORLY pissed off the guy doing the fish fry. He was only brought in to fry catfish, supply beans, hushpuppies, slaw, and potato salad. My brother in law hired him...

    So this all started out ok with me thinking all would be good, but I had HELL finding a brisket, and then I had to chase down the rub the bride wanted me to use, but it's all going well now it seems. This morning I trimmed up a 14# brisket and rubbed it down with the Meat Church rub my bride...

    I was truly saddened when I found that he had left us, but so happy that he left a lot of knowledge for all of us to use and remember him. You found a GREAT source of knowledge.

    So, the bride's grandmother (Memaw) turns 100 years old tomorrow, and of course, there is a big gathering planned. Well, my brother in law said he would pay for a local food truck operator to come on site at the community center and do a fish fry since Memaw loves her some fried catfish. Well...

    Venison breakfast sausage

    If the sausage is dry and crumbly you may not be mixing it long enough to extract the proteins. The 50/50 mix of butt and venison is a good plan. The recipe from Pop's is a great starting point and you can experiment from there.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
