Bachelor Thanksgiving Meat-a-Thon - 4 Day Live Thread

Just dropped my wife and kids off at the airport. She takes them to see her family for the holiday. Everyone gets along much better when I don't go.

So, moving on...i now have until Saturday afternoon as a single dude, alone with my meat, my cookers and some beverages. I do have a buddy coming over for Thanksgiving afternoon. He and his inlaws get along as well as I do with mine...so he got the pass to come hang with me.

I've been prepping for the past few days. Pulled some stuff out of the freezer...hit the grocery. Have a few more plans in store...but here is the lineup so far.

Kicked it off tonight with some leftover burgers from last night.




Later this evening I will be slicing up this eye of round for jerky, which will be marinated overnight in some Owen's Sweet and Spicy jerky mix, and smoked and dried tomorrow.



Then for the next few days....here's what we got. The order could change but I'll work it all in.



Beef short ribs and 2 slabs of spares



Oh...and some lubrication.



Who knows what else...definitely plan on some ABTs. My buddy on Thursday is bringing cigars.

Friday I got my eyes on some Black Friday deals....and if I can figure out how to rearrange my deck...I may try to set up and season the new Blackstone.

Stay tuned! Now I have to run to Lowes. I hear the Weber charcoal is on sale.

It's pretty simple. We are all pretty stubborn. When I'm there, my wife has to be in the middle negotiating and playing referee. When I'm not there she gets to relax and enjoy her family. I get to relax too.

I was a bit concerned I didn't have enough provisions. So just in case.

Top round trimmed and quartered. Into the freezer to make it easier to slice.



Sliced into 1/4 inch thick strips with the grain. A little less than 5lbs.



Mixed with the cure and into the fridge overnight. Hoping for about 10 hours in the cure.



I've been doing a little marinating too. Time for bed (a king size bed all by myself). See you all in the morning.

It took 15 years. And a few major blowouts.
