You folks are just droolin' for Bob's qvue, ain't ya!!

Don't blame you, it's probably becoming a masterpiece in the pit as we speak. He said something about trying to have it done around 3pm'ish his time (think it's MTN time?) so if it's 3:46pm on the East coast, it's 12:46pm where he is.

Bob, you've got us all at your beck and call when you post those pics!!

It's about showtime-brisket rubbed for 3 days and hitting the grill for a good sear.

 

[desertlites]

We be cooking now-this was at 7 am.

 

[desertlites]

A little TBS flowing through my desert-looking like a couple more hrs. internal is 170-shooting for the 200 mark.

 

[earache_my_eye]

Lookin' good so far, Bob.......DAYUM it looks HOT out there.....I'll stick to my 80* w/ 70% humidity.....

Waiting for the rest of the qview.....(and a sample.....heh)

L8r,
Eric

 

[desertlites]

Is 100 with 3% humidity-just the way I like it.

Bob - the pictures of your brisket (so far) look really great. Love the sear pics and now I know what a "sear" is supposed to look like!

What is more amazing is your backyard .... if that's what you and Allie have to gaze at on the cool evenin's in the desert, you both are very fortunate to have something a city person would find amazing. Great outdoor bbq setup, and hope your brisket turns out nothing less than awesome!!!

This is rather fun ... wonder who the next throwdown will be between ...

 

[desertlites]

Yes Laurel we love it here-theres 1 ranch between us and the mountian-they sit close to the foothill-to the right outta site is a dude ranch-3500 acres-the mountian is national forest on this side-the other side is tile roofs.
