What do you do when you have 2 sons that are teenage HS football players

YOU COOK A LOT. So my boys tell me after church that they wanted me to bbq brisket and baby backs. Wish they would have given me some advance notice. I felt a little behind the 8-ball so I headed to my local meat market and picked up 2 6# briskets and 1 slab of baby backs.

I seasoned the briskets with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.

The ribs I seasoned with a rub found on google I have used in the past. Started the fire (mesquite & oak) in my 16 y/o custom pit from Lamm Enterprises in San Antonio, Tx.

lit it and let it burn 45 minutes before putting the meat on. When I pull the meat to wrap I'm gonna use a can of Big Red to help steam and tenderize the meat.

They also want beans so I'm making 5# of pinto beans.

Brute, that's some good looking chuck.  I'm not going to give you much sympathy though.  We raised 6 kids on a farm, five of them boys who now go 6"1" to 6"6".  If my high school kids placed a short notice order for some Que I'd be inclined to remind them that they know where the wood pile and smokers are. 

Enjoy 'em while you've got 'em.
