Brisket and Spares thawing for the weekend!

[chad]

They are in the spare fridge as of last night. Should be able to rub 'em down Friday night.

Gonna use my ECB with a bit more oak than I've been using. I've got plenty of Kingsford to get things started.

Got a nice 6# flat -- figure I'll cook it on the lower grate and let the ribs baste it

While it's all cooking I'll continue my backyard drainage project -- also known as the mud mod! If I can find the end of the installed pipes then I can grade the ditch(es) and start thinking about putting down pavers/bricks and some stone before topping it all off so it looks like a backyard instead of a road construction site!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

That's gotta be a joke. I laughed my ass off when I saw that.

He takes that smashed can of Colt 45, fills it with the alcohol, then uses that as his ignighter.

I TOLD you guys about that at the Bash!!

I use my backbacking stove (cut down Pepsi can) with denatured alcohol to start the chimney. Saves me using up my propane and actually starts the charcoal just about as fast as the turkey fryer.

Don't knock it if you ain't tried it

Alcohol has NO ODOR and NO RESIDUE anyway!!

You should have smelled my breath last night. And the residue (read vomit) was all over the place

Not to sure bout that one. :lol:

 

[chad]

It's true. Denatured alcohol has no odor when burning and leave no residue (it will blacken pots but that's because of the water in the alcohol). I certainly leaves nothing on the charcoal -- it burns at least as clean as propane (which is fossil fuel).

We're not talking about booze here guys. Sheesh, get a GRIP!
