The brisket is almost a lost cause I I think it never got up to 190 degrees so it is pretty tough. We will just have beans and biscuits I guess.

The baked beans before they went in the oven. Did I use enough bacon? Now just waiting in Colin and Ben to show up.

It is just a design flaw in the chute. The pellets are piled up around the edges of the chute and if you do not check and shake it a bit they will stay there and not drop into the auger.

It was going to be good until the traeger stopped feeding pellets as none were falling into the auger. I hate it when there are plenty of pellets they are just not falling into the auger and the fire dies. Lost my temperature and there was no coming back. Might stick it in the oven at this point.

Three hours in. Probably did not need to start this at 5 AM.

Happy birthday Haj.

Finished up the desserts for tomorrow's HC BBQ. Double Chocolate Brownies, Ginger and Maple Cookies and Chocolate Mint cookies. Hoping there is enough for four people when one of those people happens to be the Ginger Avenger. Prepping the 3 very different Brisket cuts with a rub of Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, Ground Pepper and Chili Pepper. Whole Food first cut on the left, Butcher full brisket in the middle and butcher remnant on the right.

That looks awesome Chris. I have not ridden in weeks and I will probably fall over as soon as I start off down in Florida next week.

Finished everything up. This cold temp here made the cook time run a bit long and my Thermapen decided to stop working so I kept it a bit long just to be sure. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving meals.

The Turkey on a treater is fantastic. The one I made last year was easily the best turkey I have had. My pork roast after the first glazing session.

I am going non-traditional and doing a beer and honey glazed pork roast for Thanksgiving and prepping the brisket, homemade baked beans, crock pot corn and double chocolate brownies for Saturday. Right now I am making tons of oven bacon as my butcher was out of the bacon fat I need for the brisket.

Happy Birthday Bryan.

I have enjoyed the 323s the few times I have listened to mine. Was really just a temporary thing while I waited for the BHSE but I really have not had any desire to listen in months so it sits unused. Maybe I will listen to some Stax tonight.

Happy Birthday Juan, Happy Birthday Jeff.

I have to get out on a ride tomorrow to try to get in some kind of riding shape for this Sebring trip. I have not been on the bike in what seems forever. Sunday looks pretty damn cold, high 20s +20MPH winds would be pretty rough.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Jalapeno Corn Bread and Creamed Collard greens at Hops and Hominy.

Bacon wrapped little smokies at Mikkeller Bar with Al.

I get into MCO at 10AM on Thursday and then drive up. I am stopping at a local shop to have them put the Calfee back together for me but Ben and I should be at the Marriott by 1ish.

Wayfare Tavern Burger w/bacon and egg.

MC Hammer in da house

Heading to Green Day, Blondie and MC Hammer. It will be a confusing show

Happy Birthday.

I am awesome!!!!

Wandering the streets of San Francisco looking for a good place to eat while watching this crazy early MNF game. Locals have any recommendations? The best I have so far is Kells in north beach but the guy making the recommendation is suspect.

The comfort of customs is worth well more than $300 to me.
