Former POW cook/picnic

Diesel Dave · Jul 9, 2014

As I've mentioned before we're doing a cook for the Former POW group of Ann Arbors annual picnic.
Brother Paul (pgn) will be helping me tomorrow and is doing 2 pork butts and making some broccoli slaw for the event.

Here is the 17 lb brisket I got today and got trimmed, injected and rubbed with Black Ops.
This thing was the most flexible I've ever gotten and when I was injecting it the injecting was squirting out places I didn't even cut. So I'm thinking this thin is gonna be real good

It's going on the Lang on a few minutes.
Thanks fer looking in and there's going to be many more pics to come

Great cook you are doing. There is nothing like cooking for these guys, in terms of appreciation they show, and how you feel when they are happy.

Looks great and another good job supporting those that have gone before us...

Diesel Dave · Jul 9, 2014

Thanks guys.
These are older gents, they range from 65-93 years old. At least the ones I met at their meeting last month.
I'm really looking forward to serving them tomorrow

Thanks Billy!

Well the brisket is wrapped and going great!
Ribs are trimmed and the rub is going on.
Simply Marvelous Sweet Seduction, Spicy Apple and Cherry

Corn bread biscuits are also coming along, almost 1/2 way done

I know they aren't quite perfect, but I ain't a baker :tsk:

Very very nice Dave!
I wonder if any of those guys were at the Walleye for Warriors event at SaginawBay. If they don't know about it, please mention it to them.

Dawg I use broth with Kosmos reserve Brisket injection some real good stuff.

Today was an awesome day!
Not only did I get to meet brother Paul (pgn} but we had a great time at this event.
Paul cooked some butts which were really farkin good and we enjoyed the fellowship with the Former POWs and some of the members of Rolling Thunder, which is a Vet motorcycle club.

Awesome! That not only demonstrates the spirit of the Brethren, it demonstrates the spirit of what barbecue is really all about!

Diesel Dave · Jul 10, 2014

And 1 more pic that means a lot to me

This flag was given to me today and I was told I'm part of this group and am welcome to their meetings and any event they have.
I don't believe I've ever felt so honored to be a member of a group as I am today.

They are also sending me a POW flag

These are some of the greatest folks, hell I'm tearing up again

This is so true!! Seeing the smiles on these folks faces was priceless
Paul and I also felt the same when they said thank you to us.......we didn't deserve the thanks, they did. We both replied thank you and glad you're enjoying this
