Happy 4th, just put on two brisket flats

[Sandbagger]

Dang, hadn't rained in North Texas, least my house for heck - I can't remember the last time it rained. Sure enough, suppose to rain today. Anyway, just put on two, seven pound flats from Sams for late afternoon feast. Have friends and family coming over to swim, drink and feast. I might just blacken some steaks too.

Recognize the rub! Happy 4th. Tom

Looking good, Zee 8) ...But there's something leaking out of your burger :shock:

[vinman]

Oh Z!
Everything looks so good.
I like those cheesie burgers.
Nice smoke ring too.
Were those beef ribs on the bottom rack or what?

[Bairman]

Really goofed (f****) up. Took two butts out of freezer two days ago and put on fridge and never checked them untill 6:30 this morning and they were still part frozen. Defrost nuked and soaked in cold water for a few hours. Finally got them on at 9:00am, its now 1:30 and have a temp of 150 running smoker at 235-250. Company showing up at 4:00, sure hope they don't want tyo eat as soon as they arrive. Thank god my son is bringing 4 slabs of smoked ribs.

[TB]

zee, that's beoootiful. The beef ribs: I gotta get me soma those! I swear, you got the best lookin Que around. If it's half as good as that other stuff you cooked, then you got the best tasting around too.

Bairman,
How'd it all turn out?

[david brace]

Wow, Bairman...sounds like what my old Boss used to say. "You F' ed up with Both Feet !!!'

Not too bad though...I have defrosted a butt or two in the microwave before cooking them... :shock: ...but it worked a lot faster than water baths or praying :wink:

But when I messed up, I had nobody to help me out like your son did for you. I hope you take this the right way...after I wrote it, I read it and said a little 'oops'.

So how did it turn out?

As long as the cold beer lasts.......................... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Bairman -

Our motto is "It's done when it's done".

'nuff said. :D

[Michiana Mark]

ZZ, you feedin the whole state of LA all by yourself? Good looking vittles, like them beef ribs.

[vinman]

Yea, da was Beef Chuck Short Ribs.

I can't seem to find beef short ribs with the bone around here.
The shorts I find are just great but it just don't seem right eating a boneless rib with your fingers.

That Q all did look great though...note to self...plan to have Z's Q some day.

[TexLaw]

Well, I thought I had enough Q for a few days until I saw Z's beef ribs. It's been a long time since I had good ones. When's lunch?
