Kerry,

Interested in a 60 bag pallet of 50 pound bags 300F Missou plus castable refractory to distribute at the event?

 

So..how many power hammers will you have there in total?

What is the latest on the 4B Nazel?

Rick,

 

I'ce asked around a little, there just doenst seem to be much interest. Thanks for the offer.

 

The 4B is waiting on the ring(inner) being made. No real idea when they will be done. The machine shop keeps dropping the ball. Everything else is done.

 

There are 4 running but I suspect we wont really use the drop hammer, it suffers from neglect and needs a home.

Just ordered a new fez!~ Gonna be an awesome time!!!!!!!!!

Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots

Sorry you are not going to make it, Alan. For those who are, a little bbq preview from this morning's preparations.

 

52 pounds of brisket minus 18 pounds of fat:

Don't get excited. Only two of those briskets are for you guys. One is destined for a St. Patrick's day party, which I will be missing to be with you guys. My wife will be serving that brisket at the party.

 

 

For those of you who like cool power tools, and I know you all do. Here is my 19.2 volt Variable Speed Pepper Grinder:

Fresh ground pepper is a must for beef. I hope Kerry doesn't mind a few new pics. The briskets are marinating now; they go into the smoker around 9PM tonight. Now I have to cut up some cherry and pecan blocks. The snow is coming down harder. No matter, I can cook in the snow. -Doug

So far I've not heard one mention of rasins soaking in any kind of distilled beverage. Did I miss something??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sorry Matt for the suspense. The raisins have been submerged in Buffalo Trace Bourbon since before Christmas and are ready to go. :)

Meat is in the grill. Now I need to stabilize the temp, top off the charcoal at 12:30 or so, and then let the PID controller do its thing till morning.

This as after 14 hours and 4 charcoal reloads (I am running out of big chunks of charcoal). The front most pork butt is coming off now at 183F. Notice how much the brisket next to it has shrunk. It probably still has another 4 hours to go. The larger ones which have shrunk from view on the bottom grate, probably have another 6 hours to go. -Doug

The briskets are finally done after 20 hours in the cooker. We call this a smoke ring (cherry and pecan wood). :)

HEY folks!

 

Sorry I have been so busy that I havn't had time to do much on the computer. I will try to get the site updated in the next 24 hours.
I am excited for this year and to once again share our humble shop with our brethren. There is still countless hours of set up to be done and we have a dozens of swords to finish before the weekend, so wish us well !

 

That brisket is hurting my head!

Thanks everyone. I think the overnight chill early in the cook slowed the ramp up to temp and gave me a deeper smoke ring than usual. Tomorrow, I fry up the 8 pounds of bacon for beans. :D

 

I so look forward to this event every year. Matt, best of luck with the challenges ahead. -Doug
