Cruzer

Actually headed there on my 2nd leg. Well actually Bonita Springs - which is near by. My 1st time on the gulf side to play.

AA. Could have gotten for $53, but I'm not flying Sprint. They are shiit.

$83 rd trip - golf trip booked.

I dont trust people who don't like dogs - or eat turkey bacon.

50/50 salt & pepper 250 - 275 degrees Post oak and pecan mix 10 - 16 hours depending on size Spritz w/beef broth every couple hours. Lot of guys wrap at 160* or at a certain bark color. I don't wrap till done - then rest in cooler for least 2 hours... And get out of here with the cumin/celery seed/sugar/paprika, etc. stuff. Save that for chili cooks or whatever.

Yea - but a payout is a payout, sanctioned or not. If we're not having anymore this year - send it.

I'm more of a low and slow guy - my preferred smoking temp is 250* - 275*. But I can appreciate the hot and fast guys. I'm just never in a hurry and the long cook is half the enjoyment for me.

A Texas BBQologist at least anyway.

I thought we were already - thats why you held my payout?

In the mid 19th century, a large influx of Czech/German immigrants landed in Central Texas. In addition to establishing such places as New Braunfels and Fredericksburg, these early settlers cultivated the art of slow cooking tougher meats - for hours on end. Texas bbq's roots (esp. brisket & sausage) go all the way back to the Czech and Germans.

Fock AD, Cruzer not finishing Dead Ass Last last week was the real story. Congrats dude.

Outside of bars, Texas is open up to 75% - which is to basically to say fully open. But even bars are finding ways to open. All they basically need is a popcorn machine and a hotdog warmer, apply/pay for a restaurant permit - and are back in biz.

I pray it stays that way. Brisket and skirt steak use to be the same - brisket in fact was damn near thrown out, discarded. Then the poor folk figured out how to cook it - became prized.

I've never tried (or needed to), but can you freeze whole onions? And Serranos >>>> Jalapeños - all day. Jalapeños do have a purpose - they're what you use when you can't find Serranos.

Gansta movies, especially about Hoffa, are my catnip. This certainly wasn't The Godfather or Goodfellas....but it had star power and Hoffa - wasn't terrible.
