I would love to just wrap the Que up in some butcher paper. I hate parsley.

My first trip to Lockhart changed my life. I convinced 4 buddies to rent a minivan with me and to drive 2300 miles in 69 hours to eat at Kreuz, Smitty's and Blacks. I am FOREVER RUINED.
If you've never tasted true Texas hill country BBQ, you're really missing out. When I got my cooker I was all full of piss and vinegar to start competing. Now I'm not so much. I'd rather just cook the food I want to eat and not have to conform to some set standard. No offense to those of you on the circuit... P.S. - Here's the story of my trip to Lockhart... http://www.ntscblog.com/2006/10/ive-...een-every.html

The very words CRIDERS make me cry. As a child and young adult we vacationed in Hunt at Casa Bonita (Now sold and turned into condos). This was Crider's Hey dey and the origin place of the cotton eyed joe (actually it was at the crider's general store long before.
I hid under a table in the early 70's as Big Tough cowboys threw some of the Dallas Cowboys (with their long hair) over that fence. Thats a long way down. The stars at night.... endless. The gualupe river ruinning, the kids and teen couples kissing in those live oaks. And the dance hall... those echos... a sound only dwight yokum has been able to duplicate in my opinion. Some people drove 300-500 miles every saturday (WITHIN TEXAS BORDERS) to go there. As you know... there is little west of it.

Last night I took my wife and kids up to Lockhart. We go there once a month for our barbecue binge. We live just north of San Antonio, in Bulverde.
We went to Chisolm Trail first and had brisket and sausage (and sides). On the way out, we picked up some hot links and a pound of sausage at Kreuz's. This is rare, but I wanted to compare again because of recent threads like this one. I did so in the parking lot. I really hope that folks will analyze this cliche' very carefully when heading to Lockhart: "The local people eat at Chisolm Trail" Think about it. Meditate upon it. Sound each phonetic particle in your mind. Not only do the local people eat there, but also my family. The reason is because the barbecue is absolutely amazing, and consistently so. I will never go to Blacks, Smitty's, or Kreuz's again. As to Coopers, (there is a new one on the way in New Braunfels) they specifically try not to have smoke flavor in their meats. I was told that personally by Mr. Cooper. We ate at the one in Llano once, before I knew this fact. Then we ate in the new one in New Braunfels right after it opened. We drive past it every month on our way to Chisolm Trail. And don't ever get me going about Barbecue in San Antonio ... Bile Millers ... Bulverde |

You had to revive this one Funk ???
It's making my mouth water all over again !!! You can see the simplicity, quality and passion/pride in those pics. It makes the point very easy to understand about traditional vs. "nuevo" and competition bbq. I really hope I can make a trip there one day just to experience it (good or bad).

Donnie let me know when you want to cook on this one. We can do a fund raiser, for the Texas Elks Childrens Camp.

i have to say something about this elks thing. I ahve seen a lot of elks lodges, vfw's, and orgs and Lions org that once were backbones of the community go to the way side as membership lowered.
I would like sincerely to revive this kind of community stuff, get some money flowing in, search for grants or create a niche of grants to revive these types of pits and purposes and get more of these 35-55 members flowing back in. I have ideas.... I have seen our lions club here dwindle to nothing. Maybe when some of these wonderful soldiers start coming back home we can revive the energy that the men of the Elks and Lions had back in the day. They may still be around, my theory is the diet has changed.

The pit is at the Elks lodge in Galveston, fun to cook on. We are doing chicken and sausage dinners for Labor Day. Lets try to set up a rib dinner sometime after that. This camp is for kids with special needs, 50 kids a week for 6 weeks each summer.
