Yesterday's brisket was lunch (dinner) today. She thawed it out in a hurry (microwave) and didn't have time to let it sit a couple hours with the rub on, before smoking) or time to let it rest towards the end of smoking, but for some reason (luck, clean living) it came out great. Even better reheated (in oven) today.

Earlier this summer I typed of my wheels rusting off the frame of an expensive stainless gas grill. I went back to charcoal when I replaced it. First, I bought an inexpensive grill for grilling (NOT barbecueing).  Then one of the old faithful double-layer R2D2 looking charcoal smokers for BBQ. I never got over missing the charcoal flavor when I finally converted to gas, years ago. So the problem now is starting charcoal in -10 snowstorms or rain. Also, the little stores here don't restock charcoal much in the winter, so I had to stock up last week. I'm tempted to have my "body shop"  guys fabricate a grill for me, gas and charcoal,--with turkey fryer/shrimp/crab pot. I never use the side burners, --maybe occasssionally to keep sauce warm. Also I use the grills for boiling water to peel tomatos and for corn on the cob when we "can" each year.

Any tips, new ideas, for the "ART OF BARBEQUEING"?  

I'm not an expert on grilling or even close to it but I do like to cook out. I like a gas grill for the ease of it. I understand that charcoal makes the food taste better. I have a Brinkmann gas grill with a side bruner. It is great for burgers, steaks, chops and boneless chicken brests. It is quick and easy. I have a charcoal smoker for when I want to get serious. I've had this smoker for 10-12 years. The brand is called Mr. Meat Smoker. I cook briskets, ribs,turkeys, etc on it. I use it when I want to slow cook for several hours. When I cook a turkey or brisket I will leave it on the smoker for 6-8 hours. The meat is moist and tastes great. I do not like the store bought wood chips. I like bigger pieces of wood that last a little longer. A few years ago a friend gave me some cherry tree wood and it had a great flavor.

I guess everyone knows but if you soak the wood chips (water) they don't burn so fast. Apple wood flavors nicely. Keep them in a bucket by the grill.

I just saw where HTWMI is out for Sunday's game due to a heel injury. I hadn't heard anything about that before now.

They shouldn't miss him too much against the Rams.  I hope it's not too serious though.

I think having the custom grill made is a great idea.  You can have them make it so that you can use the gas to start the charcoal in the winter time, then turn off the gas once you get it going.

That would be dreat--even no starter fluid smell. I was thinking of two seperate grills with 1 charcoal, 1 gas. There must be something that flame will damage on the normal gas range set up on grills. But I know they have the gas/open flame combo in fireplaces.

That is were I got the idea actually.  I had one of those in my fireplace.  There was a key on the mantle that you used to turn on the gas, then you would light the burner with one of those long bic candle lighters.  After a few minutes your logs would be going and you could turn off the gas.  No kindling, no newspaper, no skill required.  Easiest way to build a fire in a fireplace.  Especially if you make the woman bring in the wood from the garage.

Let me know how that works out for you, SC. I have a couch down here for you if you need it.

So CB, was that a shot at SC, Paddy O'Furniture, or me? 'Cause we're not too proud to accept a free couch on a chilly night!

Hey WV, I was just offering the couch to SC because this whole idea of having the woman bring the wood inside sounds like it has disaster written all over it. Besides, I only have the one couch. Now you guys are welcome to share ....

We'll have to burn it at SC's pacle. Cops are all over us here.

If you offer a couch to a West Virginia fan, he'll burn it after a big win.

Home from the gun show (Southaven, MS - just a mile south of Memphis) and the auction.  I'm bushed.  I see you guys are talking grills and couches.  LOL.

Apparently some people grill couches in parts of WV.

   That couch-burning tradition must be common in rural anywhere.  They do it in small towns in Mississippi, they do it on college campuses, and it's certainly done in WV.  I'm guessing it's related to the recent population irruption of bedbugs.

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE - I'M BROKE!

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

‘Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners...

''Go away!'' said the old lady. ''I'm broke and haven't got any money!'' and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open... ''Don't be too hasty!'' he said. ''Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.'' And with that, he emptied a bucket of mud and dirt onto her hallway carpet.

Now if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this mud and dirt from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

I know better.  That is WV's strategy from the other day.  There is no way she would bring the right wood pieces, even with the post-it notes.  HTH.
