It's my b-day so I'm smoking a cow...

[Squashie]

Well, how did it turn out?

I too had the memorial week-end smoker fever, but went a little overboard...2 briskets, 18 racks of pork ribs, 10 lbs of sausage and way too many assorted other items...all served by 6:30 pm. And no, when I've been up since way before the sun, 9:30 am is not too early for beer-thirty, try working off of GMT that way you get a 6 hour headstart here in Texas.

A late happy birthday, however...

The only way I'd get up at 430 am on my b-day is to play with my new Brinkmann smoker!

A Texan using a Brinkmann? No New Braunfels available? Just kidding, I use a Brinkmann too. Couldn't find the NB I wanted.

Here's to long days by the smoker, I hope you put on a great feed.

I should put up a flag...like the embassies do in other countries; Where the Texan lives is Texas soil....

i like that idea ...

yes, sir, i like it

and it reminds me of another Texan i used to know .... i'm sure he'd approve too

Steve, It's hard enought to find a brisket up here, much less a New Braunfels up here... The commesary in Smoky point had some briskets last summer that just made me want to cry.... I swear it was actually veal. lol....
ahh, what's the saying? "American by birth, Texan by the grace of God!"

That's true... Occasionally, Costco brings in a nice stock of boneless briskets, and we stock up.

Add me to the list too...
3 beercan chickens,ribs and a porkloin!
Almost fresh local corn season here too!
For you brisket guys...do you wrap in foil at the end or not?

I didn't, it was a little dried out on the crust, but as I added/removed the ribs, potatoes, sausage, I rotated the brisket around and moved it further away from the heat source...so it turned out nicely.
