you know things are "interesting" when phil says (after loading his Klose up to accellerate some damn brisket cooking it was running at 390 or so) "how hot are those WSMs (we had 2)"... "350-375"
was my reply... we working on getting all kinds of POOPIE done... phil just shook his head... we chuckled a bit and kept on cooking...
c'mpon josh..tell the truth.. When i asked you that.. your first answer was "about 800 degrees".
Thats when my eyes rolled and u said 350....
Briskets were locked tight at 160 and 170 at 11PM.. we had to accelerate... so we wrapped them and cranked up the cookers just to get past the "stuck" spot.
I asked a friend and new smoke nut to join us.. Paul... he made the trek up. He's the dad of my daughters best friend who just picked up Backwoods Smoker. We'll be assembling it this week and he will be joining us here. Jackie was preoocupied so just help out a tiny bit... Anyone who was at B3 met paul..he was one of the dads throwing the kids in the pool.
Theres is more food in the trailer than we know what to do with... 2 coolers with food..... the BYC still had some chafing dishes in it with ribs and wings, we're missing some cheeses and fatties and some leftover lamb..... Either the cats or coons will find them out there tonight.. or I'll be facing a science project in the morning. Cant wait..
The chicken pretty much sucked.. used a rub that Dave Klose sendt up and found it extremely salty..... guess the judses like salt... that was an inedible 1st place chicken..IMO
ribs were a timing issue.. never again making them in the WSM.. the klsoe does a much better job.. a lesson learned.. put the briskets and butts in the WSMs and forget them.. do the ribs and chicken in the offset... did the rinbs at grillkings also, both times the ribs were overdone...
Brisket was a kobe... totally awesome... this was best one ever.. shouldve taken first.. but i'll settle for second.. :twisted:
got 2 hours sleep last night.. gonna crash ....more details tomoroow..
Heres osme pictures.... check out the tattoos the daughters got... they got labeled the "Charcoal Chicks". My daughter is jackie, on the right.
Notice the hat on our table between the trophies... thats gregs(parrotheads) hat. I brought it with me to keep with the tream... He was there looking over us .. right next to Fudo and the schaffer can. :twisted: "missing man Formation".
Fudo got moved the the top of the klose where he watched over us...
more tomorrwo guys...
