This is funny; the first time I had a barbecue for my neighbors they turn out to be vegetarians LOL I did cook a couple of steaks and some wagu hotdogs though,sorry no pictures of them on the grill. Actually this is the first time I’ve had neighbors over to my house since I’ve lived here,(28 years). We really had fun and I’m gonna be doing it a lot more in the future. The food turned out great. KK great! I had more pictures but lost them. I haven’t done any of this kind of cooking since I had had my big green egg over 35 years ago! Everything tasted great. Those mushrooms were especially good.

First several cooks all went great with the bbq guru and KK spot on for temperatures. A little Sangria and and apricot wit beer (home brewed) rounded out the meals.

Didn’t suck.

Stay tuned...

very nice cook bruce everything looks yum yum

Bruce, I can't believe you didn't invite me to the big chin dig. It sure looks like it was a roaring success. Way to go Bruce. BTW, was that the same neighbour that gave you a squash last year?

Bruce great job. Looks like they caught you with a mouth full.

Looks great !

Cowboy. Looks reaaalll good. Yum Yum

All places with the family now...

Thanks for the replies. I'm planning on cooking a brisket (cheap select - $1.49/# special - ) that's been in the freezer for quite a while. You see, I swore to myself that I wouldn't "drink the KK Kool-Aid" when I bought "Blue 32". So as a test, I cooked a similar brisket to this one last week, hot and fast, and it was supposed to turn out dry and tough. Well, that was a complete failure. It was tender, moist and had a good bark. Next was bb ribs, same lack of effort should have produced dry and tough ribs. Failed again, best ribs I've cooked - ever. Dry rubbed, put on the main rack, cooked 5 hours without spritzing or wrapping. So I'm going to do this brisket this weekend and again expect less than stellar results. The only difference this time will be the cold smoker, so thanks for all the replies. No sir, no Kool-Aid for me. I refuse to think "Blue 32" will out cook my offset or insulated cabinet. And who names a cooker anyway?
