So who is cooking what this weekend

[SmokeyGator]

I keep hearing something about a "tropical wave", the weekend down here might be rather soggy. So plans are, for now, tentative. Might be socked in, but then again maybe not. I will have a better idea in the next day or two.

CaptainMike, I've been praying. Wife has a niece who lives in Redding, and we have seen many, many pictures of the Carr fire. Her husband is a corrections officer, and has been out with the prisoners fighting the fire.

You get used to it. The rain doesn’t always stop my outdoor cooking, I have a covered area and there is a reason I went with the ceramic cooker. Rain doesn’t bother it too much. It leaks heat a bit faster when it’s wet, but nowhere close to metal.

[CaptainMike]

Bogy we live an hour north of Redding and yes, that Carr Fire was a monster. We have another one just south of us that the USFS was just letting burn and smoking up the North State. It finally started threatening state/private land and my alma mater, CAL FIRE, has stepped in to put it out. BTW, I ran inmate crews for a while and it was a great job. tbob4 used be a CO as well.

PJBowmaster I wondered just where in the Hills you were. Beautiful area. Many years ago a friend of mine was the pastor of a congregation there. Went to visit them one year and made the mistake of going by way of Sturgis, the week of the ralley. Very interesting drive through town. No churches in my denomination open in the Hills right now.

[PJBowmaster]

Bogy. Didn't realize you were Clergy. We are looking for an Orthodox Priest in Rapid City....

[Bogy]

PJBowmaster That would be an interesting change. Maybe to much of a change!

My FIRST brisket. Should be interesting. 13 people arriving to witness - either success or failure. Hoping for the former.
Wondering if a 15-lb packer will feed that many - may need ... ribs too?

[jfmorris]

You should be good. You have several pounds of fat unless that is already the trimmed weight, and will lose a few cups of liquid during the cook as well - one reason I have wrapped my briskets so far. If you have a lot of sides that will be plenty.

[EdF]

Should be about the right amount with sides. Go get 'em, young Ben!

We are visiting one of our Daughters for a couple days so Dad will be eating her cooks. She a very good cook and likes to experiment. I'm not sure where she got the idea??

[holehogg]

It's Friday 4:30 pm and the briskets been in the cooker since 11 am.

[Mudkat]

Powders, rubs, and seasonings. 😀 loosley followed MH's S&G rub, American Chili Powder, and Creole seasoning.

[obiQsmoker]

Whoa - that’s what I call FRESH!

[HawkerXP]

Do you ever go to work?

You're herbs don't match the song...…. parsley, sage, rosemary …….

[Mudkat]

Lol! Not today brother!

[klflowers]

Got a chuck roast in the anova, maybe some ribs on the wsm. Got some brisket from an earlier cook vacuum sealed with some texas mop, may thaw some out to see how it held up. Baked beans, some slaw, maybe potato salad. Going to visit family in GA, I'll try and get some pics before it gets gone.

[klflowers]

I forgot to mention I am finally getting a chance to use Hank's Beef Rub. I am pretty stoked about that.

[FireMan]

WIBS ! Foe wacks of em!

[PJBowmaster]

Picked up four 16oz filets from my local butcher. Dry brine overnight. Medium rare on the Weber 22" w/SnS. Reverse sear using cold grate technique from ABC. Grilled some asparagus too. Only have the one photo. I was too excited to dig in and forgot to take more.
They were outstanding. Cut with a butterknife tender.
Made great steak and eggs for leftovers too.
