    Homage to my Best Friend

    One thing he was not, was patient.:emoji_smile: Couldn't do delayed gratification at all. That's why he almost always used gas. Also why I only took him fishing once. He couldn't hold onto a wine to let it age at all (I have a cellar for that. His wife would hand me bottles that needed more...

    Homage to my Best Friend

    Small world. John contracted a form of Leukemia about 20 years ago, and beat it. We thought that was a miracle. At least it did give him another 20 years. My daughter was also born in 1990.

    Homage to my Best Friend

    Thank you everyone. Even when you know it's coming, you're still unprepared when it finally hits. At least his pain and frustration of not being able to communicate is over. It's strange, and I don't pretend to understand Parkinson's. Over the last several months, he lost his mobility and his...

    Homage to my Best Friend

    Thank you, he was. More so than my actual brother.

    Homage to my Best Friend

    Met my best friend, John Lee, when we were in 2nd grade, about 55 years ago. He passed away (too young at 62) on April 7th, of Parkinson's Disease. I was able to say my good-byes the day before. He would have fit in here very well. He loved bourbon, cigars, and BBQ. And most of all, people. We...

    Took a stroll this afternoon

    I live in the suburbs with a small green belt behind me. They are numerous here, and take a lot of cats and small dogs. Occasionally hear them, and I've seen a pack of them running past my back yard in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, can't shoot them in the 'burbs.

    Having to cook 1 Brisket and 2 Pork Butts in 1 day...Need some guidance here

    I started off with one very similar to that. Bear in mind that they take a lot of supervision to keep temps steady. You're not going to get a lot of sleep if you intend to do an overnight smoke. I ended up doing a lot of mods to plug all the holes, added ceramic tiles to the bottom to stabilize...

    Lost my dad yesterday

    Also sorry for your loss. Both my folks are in their upper 80's, and I'm dreading the inevitable.

    Perhaps off topic but hunters are dying from eating meat taken from deer with CHD

    You did that deer a favor.

    Favorite injection for pork butt?

    I've always injected just prior to smoking, but with pork butts, they can take a higher temp. Jeff's 5 hour pork butt smokes at 300°, if I remember right. My injection is usually apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and rub. But I have had success with using apple sauce or even grape jelly.

    Grilled Beef Two Ways…..Prime NY and “Way Beyond Prime” Short Ribs!!

    Holy cow, civil! I had to break out the mop to clean all the drool on the floor. Only wish I could pound that "love" button more than once!

    31$ 11.5 pound brisket smoked up

    Looks great, and a nice deal on the price.

    Just Curious On What All States Do?!

    WA changed it to this way in 2016. You just need to get an online permit w/in 24 hours of the roadkill. I used to give some of my frozen deer to a foodbank. They could accept it as long as it was professionally cut and wrapped. Not a problem for me, as a local butcher would dress them out for...

    My go-to is from another departed mentor on this board, Chef Jimmy J. Here's his recipe, you might try it next time to compare. Chef Jimmy J's Pastrami
