It’s early, but what the hell. My daughter will be a senior at the school in Fayetteville, planning to go to the game, looking for 4 on the Texas side ideally.

Cracked open some bottles with bil last night. Smokewagon u/u, michters 10, michters sour toasted, cream of Kentucky, plain ol’ Blantons, pappy 15. First time trying smoke wagon - not sure if I got an off bottle, but it tasted almost like Marsala or Sherry to me.. super sweet, tons of dried fruit (prune, fig), just really weird.

All Encompassing Whatcha Smoking With
Bought this klose 30” for $225 about 6 weeks ago. Took awhile to get to it with all the rain, but got the rust off, painted the shelves, and went boiled linseed oil on the firebox and cook chamber. H-town, you got a good source for post oak? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
Unless shit has changed (a lot) in the last 10 years, I’m unable to disagree with this more. Egg on a roll, sure, but the typical deli bagel is just as mass-produced and shitty in NYC as it is in most major cities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mmm hmm, reckon you make me some biscuits?
While I get the love of lard and the performance of crisco, I think butter is best for flavor. These were made with a weird mix of dairy (milk, buttermilk, creme fraiche, sour cream) as I only had a little buttermilk on hand. I think I could’ve gotten 30%+ more butter in there, but they served their purpose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best mac & cheese recipe?
I’ve never had it separate even after a couple of days in the fridge. It never lasts more than two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tasted the cream of Kentucky for the second time tonight, I’m still not really loving it. To my palate, the most noticeable thing about it is that it seems “thin” flavor-wise. There’s wood and butterscotch and caramel but it all seems a little weak to me. I tasted it next to michters 10 tonight (because I really like michters) and the depth of flavor in the michters is much more we’ll-rounded. I just bought a smoke wagon uncut/unfiltered this weekend and a heaven hill bib tonight, which one to start with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2020 Baseball Cheaters vs the World Thread of Hate
Seems like fucking sucked would be reserved for the team that went to last year’s ALCS, added the best pitcher in the league, back-doored into the playoffs, then didn’t get to the ALCS again, but that sounds crazy, right? Know your place t-shirt. p.s. you using the phrase “even I didn’t realize” is hilarious, thanks for the lulz. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had an OG and a plain Barbacoa with onions/cilantro. The smoke is nice, but to me the meat is on the dry side considering it’s cheek. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Y’all keep calling it ice cream. While it’s a good vehicle for candy and such, it ain’t ice cream. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a very low bar, and I’ve yet to get one from there that I thought was decent. But your proclamation is factually correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, the toasted barrel I hit maybe 3-4 years ago was finominal. Got one this year that’s fine but nothing special. That said, I cracked open a michters 10 a few weeks ago and am enjoying the hell out of it. If you open it and don’t like it, I’d take the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We did the 4th at West Point one year. Cooler weather, on the Hudson. For my taste, far superior to the gaggles in DC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shit HEB Makes (when its open).
Pretty amazing that H-E-B does something as extraordinarily good as to extend this lifeline to Chris Sheperd and this is what he puts out (as well as chicken tenders/Mac n cheese and a “bacon-sausage-tater tot casserole). If it’s like what they’re doing with bakeries (slow dough and bread man in h-town) they’re selling it at their cost. This shit just seems a little tone-deaf for the current situation. Props to what he does for charity with southern smoke, but c’mon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unsweetened almond milk yogurt. It’s fairly high in fat, but very low sugar. The unsweetened vanilla is pretty damn good. Made by silk, I’ve seen little containers at Whole Foods and larger ones now at HEB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
