    My new rig

    Yes, Uvalde is a big one. All the BMF's in Texas and beyond will be there. There is another one the same weekend in a different direction toward Houston. Both have pork categories and I haven't cooked a comp pork butt since my CA KCBS days about four years ago. Many teams just cook pork collars...

    My new rig

    Good detective work Darryl. Yes, for now I am the drunken Sloth. It's a nickname my wife gave me many years ago. Between being sloth-like on the weekends and all the homebrewing, I guess I earned it. I'm disappointed in that we had two ibca events lined up for this month and both got cancelled...

    Gave T-Mobile the boot and went with Google Fi

    I'm in the same boat as Larry. Had tmobile for the last six years and don't get any spam calls/texts. Just the once a month text for telling me my bill is ready. I wonder what's going on for y'all?

    I’m feeling a porchetta is coming Sunday

    I've done one from srf that came out pretty good. Even my wife liked it and she is not a belly/rendered fat fan. I kind of followed kenjis advice that you really can't overcook it. I did one once that was not rendered fully and it was awful. So my only advice is cook it til it's done, and then a...

    The Jack 2023

    Redmules is a local-to-me team and I got to chat with him a bit today at a comp and congratulate him about the Jack. He said it was an awesome experience, super happy for him as he's a great guy.

    My new rig

    Tony- it's actually not as bad to load as you would think. It rolls pretty nice. Myself and one friendly competitor can get it in no problem. So I did my first CBA today and really liked the quicker pace compared to IBCA. Turn ins every hour instead of 1.5 hours. It was a benefit for children...

    My new rig

    So a little progress. Y'all haven't seen the cabinet yet and we put in a table with stainless top and mounted a small tool cabinet underneath. Also got the glove/paper towel holder up and another panel along with the TV. That whole wall will be paneled when we are done. Going to be cooking this...

    My new rig

    So I did a cookoff this weekend in skidmore TX and did not have a great showing. My brisket was fairly well received but my ribs and chicken that have been doing well, did not do well. After looking at the score sheets I'm not too concerned as it looks like I landed on a pretty tough table. Not...

    Sinton TX IBCA

    Also, note the sweet Weber labeled buckets my wife found for me at ace.

    Sinton TX IBCA

    Rolled the new Jambo up the road for a comp yesterday. Not only the first comp on this new pit, but the first ever cook on it. No surprises as it runs just the same as my smaller pit. Having the trailer to use was amazing and as we keep adding things it will only get better. So, 28 teams. 6th...

    My new rig

    Due to some prior commitments, I didn't get a chance to roll out the new jambo until today. I cleaned it up, lit a fire and seasoned it up. I rolled out "fancy boy" so you all can see my color inspiration. Hopefully will be able to do a small cook-off this weekend.

    Serious kitchen set up for the end of summer “Birthday Bash”

    Looks great. I cooked a SRF porchetta a few months back. It was my third attempt at porchetta and it was finally a success. Your guests are in for a treat.

    Jimmy Buffet

    I'm a big fan myself. Probably part of the reason I moved to the Gulf Coast. Found many other great ones through my like of Jimmy. Peter Mayer, Mac Mcanally and probably even John Prine. RIP Mr Buffett, I raise one in your honor tonight. "He don't need no charge card, just give him a die-hard"

    California > Bakersfield: Firestone Grill

    Good looking sandwich, but a crime to have that beautiful Jambo just sitting there. I grew up in the five cities and have been at the one in San Luis many times. Always a good meal.

    Competition Brisket Practice Run

    Looking good James. What size did you start with? With the thickness on that flat I'm assuming that's the point of the caddy to help it plump up a bit.

    My new rig

    I hope to do a few before the end of the year. I used to compete on a team with FIL before I left CA and the urge to compete never left me. I may have posted this before but I'm chalking this up as my mid-life chrisis pit. All my buddies bought hot rods and such but being as I'm a mechanic by...

    My new rig

    It was neat to see the Florida episode. There was a guy on the show that was in the comp class I took back in February. Seems he is doing well. Today I took the day off work and drove up to get my enclosed. I was going to wait to show it off til I got it out of the trailer and put the stack...
