Family coming over. I'm planning ribs and roadside chicken. Looks like it may rain later though.

BTW - Speaking of it: we're getting a Trader Joe's in West Des Moines late this year. Yeah!

EDIT: My wife's afraid of the rain predictions Sunday -doesn't want a houseful - wants to be outside - so we might back off a bit.

Glad to see all the briskets going down this weekend. Personally, I'll be perfecting my baby back methods with two dear friends.
 
I don't know. I'm lookin' to try something different. Any suggestions? I'm thinking pit beef or something like that.

Well I was planning on hitting up the Sam's club on the way home from work and see what they got there. I really want to do a HH brisket (my first) but it sounds like we won't have much company over Sat like we thought. Guess I'll just have to feel it out.

Question, has anybody found tri-tips at a sams
club (im in midwest)? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have found tri's at Costco for $5.99 lb. Near Chicago.
 
I was supposed to be on vacation in Hilton Head but my sweetie got sick so we'll be staying home. Gives me the chance to grill and chill so I'll be trying my first brisket tomorrow, probably lobster tails on Sunday and Baby Backs for Monday. Oh... And cold beer!

Who needs to breath. The bubbles will supply all the air I need from the inside.

Oh yeah, we are going to two different places this weekend and my wife has promised both ABT's. 48 of them each day.
 
For me, wine. (I actually had two beers a couple weeks ago, My first since...oh, 1985?)

2- racks of spares, some roadside chicken and some grilled corn.

Oh, and I do have about 20- gallons of beer on tap.
 
Three racks of babybacks on tap for tomorrow on apple and hickory. The wife is doing crabs so hopefully there will be plenty of bbq for me.
