@MacKenzie What post I don't see it? Garvin

Jon I will take you up on coming to Syracuse just have to find a free weekend to do so, but before I get mine I will be there with bells and steak!

@Stile88 I wouldn't mind a 22tt or 23 as my first one but at this point the 19tt is the only one in the budget! I could save a little longer to get either one but I want to start cooking asap maybe I should save a little more and get the one of the larger KK I mention. Dang now I want to get a larger one and you aren't the only one who said go bigger, something to really think about. Garvin

1 cup of red wine 1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ teaspoon allspice 1 can tomato sauce 3 tablespoons tomato paste Salt and Pepper to taste Place wine, brown sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and allspice in a saucepan. Simmer the sauce for at least 45 minutes and season to taste. The sauce should be rich and thick. Good for ribs! Garvin

CC no kids so it's going to be with me in my crypt Garvin

Welcome! Garvin

@5698k I saw your outdoor kitchen on the website for the KK and I nearly broke my jaw from it dropping so fast Garvin

Still on track for my order for middle of May and I am leaning towards a 19tt but now not sure about the color, still love that green glass but wouldn't mind a black pebble or see if Dennis has a black and green pebble combo. If I went the custom pebble way, I would ask for mostly black with green mixed in. Garvin

@mguerra Parboil some thick cut potato and carrots and layer the bottom of the foil with them place that smoke brisket on top to finish for the last hour or so and bam smoked corn beef with potato and carrots. Garvin

@HalfSmoke-Thank you! @Steve M Isn't that always the case Garvin

I have a first generation PBC and I trim my packer brisket exactly this way and to date the best brisket's I have made. I also use his seasoning along with weber coffee rub and the good thing about his site free shipping even on small containers the beef and game is great but that all purpose rub is the best I have every tried.

Way to go Aussie and using that brown sugar and bourbon sauce was a good pairing, the people in Kansas City would be proud since they came up with burnt ends! Now no excuse for not doing another one soon. Garvin

Thanks SKreef outside of the heat during the day and cold in the evening being in the hospital I was able to shower every evening and had top notch food made by some superior army cooks!

Thanks' everyone I was going thru my pictures and saw this all kinds of emotions started to come fourth! I spent 7 months over there and made several great friends to include my best friend! Air medic had me busy for weeks on end but made the time pass. This hospital could hold and treat 420 people and was updated just a year before the Gulf War started! Garvin
