    Tried something maybe a bit weird

    I've pondered doing singles before but never had the guts to give it a shot. Maybe I need to be a big boy and give it a go.

    Rockport TX IBCA

    The only one I took this time was the boiler door after the fire was lit. I'll get some next time. Hopefully my logo/stickers will be in by then.

    Rockport TX IBCA

    Rolled out this weekend and cooked within a stones throw to the Gulf. Tried a completely new brisket recipe and different chicken cooking method. Both have been getting me walks, but I need to break into the top three consistently. The chicken I cooked on the top shelf of the Jambo where it is...

    Sodastream Machines

    I don't recall how many the machine came with originally but we basically have three cylinders. When I'm on my last one, the wife orders, they ship two refilled and we send two empty back with the enclosed label. Otherwise you'd be charged the core after a certain time. She just orders them...

    Barrel of Jack at Costco: Any takers?

    I know a couple that did this a few years back for their wedding. Every guest got a bottle of their single barrel JD. Kind of a cool idea but definitely pricey.

    Sodastream Machines

    I have a soda stream and it's great. I add a little splash of some type of juice(lemon, lime, cranberry) in the glass to give me a little flavor. The exchange cylinders come very quickly and you just pop the old ones in the mailbox.

    Summertime is here in South Texas. Which can only mean, old bay goldfish! Yum.

    KCBS Chicken trends

    Waaaayyy down south in Texas, IBCA is half chickens only. But more CBA events are popping up and pretty much anything goes. Lots of teams are turning in a combo of legs and wings. Letting the judges decide what they want to sample. I tend to like CBA more as they have 1hr turn ins and I can do...

    Beer.

    Hit the total wine today to pick up my spring bourbon lottery win. Snagged a sixer of Waldos'. 11.7%, I think I'll just have one. Oh, and a photo of my latest acquisition. Again, swing by if you're ever in the area for a taste.

    Flashlights!

    I'm a streamlight guy. Stinger and switchblade for work and a strion and another switchblade for around the house. They take a beating for sure.

    Speaking of booze... I've been waiting a long time to come across one of these as I'm not willing to pay marked up prices. I love the total wine lottery system. Last year got a BTAC WLW, and this year..... Hopefully it will be a good pour. Stop by sometime if you're in the area!

    Spring is here

    It was 85 degrees here last week. I would be alright if it stayed a little cooler for a while. But life is good. Can't complain too much.

    Rib help needed

    I've done a couple hot and fast rib cooks but always loin backs. But I'd be down to try a spare. Anyway, to keep it different Id go with a zaatar spice blend. Oregano, marjoram, thyme, etc... Google it and check it out. I've found it to be awesome on pork. Good luck.

    Getting closer

    Had an IBCA close to home yesterday. Loaded the trailer and headed out from work a little early. Didn't get a lot of pics as most boxes start looking the same. Got to cook next to a couple of great guys including the guy that won GC. My chicken let me down. As I was prepping one half just...
