Chuck, there’s a reason why I think I like you! Bathtub sized glasses of dirty vodka martinis! Perfectly grilled steak? What’s not to like! Cheers my friend!

Brett, you are impressive! I would enjoy a week sharing food and stories! I’m flummoxed by the bitter cold ambient temperatures and WSM readings! Ambient now 28, bullet at just under 300! Brisket at 118, hoping for a crazy stall to be honest I was not planning on taking it to rest about noon...

Just bounced a full inch off the umbrella! For some reason, I’ve got runaway temp out there! I may have “over lit” the sidewinder! Having a tough time getting temps back down to a reasonable 250-275* range. I found a little “rim leak”, caused by an errant bit of brisket allowing excess airflow...

Thanks Tim, I just went out there’s maybe half an inch of snow on the umbrella!

It’s getting ugly here too, happy to not need to do a damn thing “out and about”, except I’ve just seen a “Brooklyn Brothers”recipe which will be dandy for Sunday with friends. I’ll need spinach, sage, cremini mushrooms. Other than that, I’m going full on “caveman”!

Just finished 6 batches of Chex mix, made up the dressing for tomorrow, dessert is in the freezer, brisket is ready for trimming. That’s just about as prepared as I can get, wind isn’t going to be too awful unless it totally shifts but, that shouldn’t be too likely. 50 mph wind gusts, 5-12...

Monty Walsh! “Nobody sits ahorse like Monty Walsh!” Both versions are excellent! Lee Marvin did it in the first version I remember, the later one with Tom Selleck was great too!

Should have let me know! That’s stunning!!!

Morning after! Now, here is how it turned out (sorry, bad pun) Very tasty indeed!

That’s a fine looking brisket, post sliced pix if you remember!

Sorry Bob, I’ve never said I was kind!🤣 Wilmer, I didn’t do the bacon weave, all my bacon is frozen! Not pleased with that but. I had to work with what was handy. My family has learned to love fennel, I have always enjoyed it, once you cook the bulb it’s not very strong. Sorry you don’t like it...

OK, whilst peering into the recesses of the fridge I found a bulb of fennel (I’d planned on braising it with herbs and stock but, that didn’t happen) and a few other things which I thought might make a lovely stuffing, albeit not the original recipe but.i liked the idea. Spinach small yellow...

Those are really cool!

You are an AAAA grade enabler buddy! Edit, And I thank you for it!

Yessir! That looks grand!
