[fxsales1959]

What's everybody planning for the holiday weekend. being the planner I am ,I'm working on a food menu.
Last weekend I did my best to screw up a slab of baby backs with a temperamental WSM .
might have to head to GFS for a boston butt for dual race day Sunday.

I’m hoping to break in and learn the new smoker with a butt and maybe some ribs!

I've just started pondering this myself. It's been awhile since I've done wings so I'm thinking of changing that. Wings and poppers is swirling in my head

It’s our 27th anniversary. Crazy getting hitched on a major holiday, but at the time made sense. Now it’s a PITA. Just hard to enjoy it with all the people everywhere. Just stick to home and eat well. That’s all I know.

 

[TNJAKE]

No plans here. I never cook anymore

Plan on going to visit best friend and college buddy. His dad started a family fishing weekend for the family, kids, and grandkids. His dad was killed in motorcycle accident last year Labor day weekend... so my buddy is gonna continue what his dad started.

He can fit a few grandkids on his new boat.

Got a prime brisket from Costco today, $4.79 lb. Gonna grind and break out the griddle.

Smashburger time.

Costco ground beef was right next to brisket and they wanted $4.99 lb. I doubt they grind the cheaper prime brisket for ground beef. Mrs. HowlingDog asked what do other folks pay for brisket??

My wife is running a race in Boulder, CO that weekend. I can't stand Boulder, so me and my boys might do some ribs. But they haven't decided yet.

Vortex wings one day.

Wife is coming up with some sides to go with everything.

Doing a Brisket Point on the smoker, and using the Flat to start curing for Pastrami, @SmokinAl dry brine method. Just wondering if doing just the Point, will it take as long as a full Packer? Or much less. I'm planning to treat it like I do when doing the full one.

Ribs for us and pulled pork for my friends get together. And if the fishing works out as planned some smoked bluefish as well.

It's my weekend to work. So I'll be putting in a few 12hr shifts, and eating freezer fix'ins.

Enjoy the holiday.

On a side note it's supposed to rain here all weekend.

I hear you on that.

I thought doing it on Valentines day was real romantic, ( and it was )
But try and find a nice quite place to go for a nice meal on that day. now we either cook at home or go out on a different day to celebrate.

Our holiday was last weekend,
I did my Porkstrami, then baked in the Q 3 big fresh Trout . And then took possession of out new hideaway piece of land
So yes a productive weekend here.

Looking forward to everyone's smokes this weekend coming.

I took my last brisket out of the freezer. Looks like no good sales this year.

Still takes the same time to get tender, so get comfortable and ride it out.

Well, Mama and Winn dixie made up my mind. Our W/D ( only have one) has Boston butt listed as one of those 4 day weekend sales for $.99/lb. That store will surely be a C/F. being raised in Indiana I used to be a big Indy 500 fan. This year there's one little NASCAR twerp racing in the 500 then flying to Charlotte to do the Nascar circle. Plus it's been hotter than balls down here so TV A/C is going to be a treat,

Still figuring out the rest of the sides and Sunday Lunch/Apps.
