    So I am finally on a plane. In seat 10D instead of 1A, which is the seat I would have been in last night. With plenty of leg room. And guess what? We are sitting on the freaking tarmac again. This time because of a problem with the plane I am on. I can't explain in words appropriate for this forum how mightily pissed off I am right now.

      I can't "like" this ... because it sucks. Let us know when you get home safely, Kevin.

      I’ve never liked the thought of taking off in a plane that couldn’t make the trip 30 minutes ago but can now. Even when you fix a car you take it for a test drive before you let someone set off in it. I was a mechanic too long. It’s ruined my sense of trust.

    Sorry to hear this Kevin. The older I get, the less I like flying...

      We made it home to nice weather but it all changes tomorrow. I've been banned from smoking anything for a while, guess we got overloaded with great BBQ flavor.

        I'm secretly going to thaw a rack of ribs early next week. I just have to smoke one with what I have learned to see if I can even come close to what I experienced.

      klflowers Did ya finally make it home?

        So we were both about 1000 miles away from the MeatUp. You flew, we drove and got home before you. So much for flying. Glad you finally made it.

        captainlee I drove to the last one I attended. And I'll drive to the next one. With coolers lol

      Wow! I am so happy to all the pictures and read about all the good times that were had, in spite of PJ's shenanigans involving the nuns.

      Someday I hope to make it out to Texas for one of these get togethers. Time will tell...

        A lot of people have been wondering what led up to our infamous Friday Night Pillow Fights at the Meatups. A quick rundown for everyone dying to know… at the very first Meatup CaptainMike and I got into an argument and decided to settle things the old fashioned way, with swords and bare knuckles. After this brutal beatdown, we decided to settle things in the future, in a gentler fashion, which then led to settling our differences with pillows.

          I was going to suggest pistols at dawn, but since my last name is Hamilton, and we Hammies have a poor record in that endeavor, I thought I might have a fighting chance with brawling and swordplay.

          And I'll see you in April....

        I tried some of the rubs we were given at the Meat Up. Denny Mike’s Chick Magnet was good on boneless skinless chicken thighs, but I like SuckleBusters Clucker Dust better. The SuckleBusters Meat Candy rub we were gifted is really sweet and I don’t think I would use it on anything but pork even though they say it is an all purpose rub. I wait for my grandson’s verdict on the chops tonight.

          I'm with you on the Meat Candy.........first item on ingredients list is sugar, third item is brown sugar....narrows the use field quite a bit for me. I do appreciate their generosity though.

          Like all new rubs I use them sparingly first time in. I'll give it a try on a rack o ribs this weekend. I don't mind a bit of sweet on ribs for a change up.

          I used the Sucklebusters on some thighs - chicken thighs you dirty old buzzards. They were pretty good.

        Our buddy Kev-Dawg (aka klflowers) was exceptionally generous when he chose not to transport some unfinished spirits (yes, it can happen) in his luggage. I just tapped into it and boy, it is really yummy stuff (highly technical spirits analysis terminology). Thanks again brother...........

          Alan Brice - golf course (although, once it gets cold enough around here there's not much difference).

        Along with being gifted some very tasty bourbon we also had leftover kielbasa and artisan cheeses that Tom (aka Mosca ) brought for our enjoyment. David (aka 58limited ) thought ahead and brought a vac sealer to preserve the leftovers. Tonight I took those "care package" items and put them to use in a sausage, potato, and cheese casserole for dinner. The Meat Up keeps on giving..................and thanks Tom, the sausage and cheese still tasted great.

          Whata Guy!!

        I am honored to be an honorary member of the Texas MeatUp club! Panhead John was kind enough to send me one of the coolers and all the rubs, along with some cheese storage bags! Thanks for thinking of me and Yvonne out there in the Great State of Texas! I can’t wait to try all of these!

        Thank you ALL so very much!

          Enjoy, a great gift.

        I did it again: last of the leftover BBQ in a pot of RG yellow eye peas. They just finished the initial boil.

          I would say that the yellow eyes are one of my favorites, but I haven’t found one yet that isn’t one of my favorites!

        I am, working at trying the new rub samples we received at the Meat Up. I used Denny Mike’s Turkey Lurkey on some smoked boneless skinless turkey breasts the other day. I really liked it and I don’t like turkey. My wife is delighted. Today I tried some of their seafood rub on air fried shrimp and I am becoming impressed with these rubs. By the way, if you like the Turkey Lurkey they list it as seasonal and available at Whole Foods. It looks like it is half price at Whole Foods compared to Amazon.

          jfmorris One pack of Turkey Lurkey did my 12 lb turkey last week. Of course, you may use more or less per bird than I did. jfmorris maybe
          you should pick up some at Whole Foods just in case. I would hate to ruin your turkey day because you did not have enough rub. LA Pork Butt do you think 2 packs will be enough for Jim to do a 20 lb turkey?

          Purc thanks - bet two packs will be plenty for the expected 20 pound bird then.

          jfmorris that’s a bummer. It is really expensive on Amazon. Hopefully ordering direct won’t eat your lunch on shipping.

        LA Pork Butt Looks like $7.95 flat rate shipping for spices direct from Denny Mikes. Still ends up cheaper than buying a single bottle on Amazon, but makes sense to get multiple bottles to defray the shipping.

        I'll try the spices out and see what else I like before spending any cash.

          jfmorris I just ordered a dual pack of Turkey Lurkey and Chick Magnet (We do al lot of Chicken) and Fintastic Seafood rub because I really liked it on the shrimp I did. Also, I liked the Chick Magnet.

            I'm putting on a rotisserie chicken on in a few minutes and used the Chick Magnet. It smells nice and earthy, I'll report back.

            Chick Magnet was excellent. The only problem was that I didn't put enough on. As typical for me I go light on a rub the first time that I use it, mostly because of possible over salting. This rub is perfectly balanced and you can go heavy. It's on the list to order.
