Thank Christ. I don't give a shit that I'll be driving 40 minutes to get to the Plano location, it's well worth it. As it stands right now, I'm bringing a couple coolers with me and loading up every time I visit family in SA and it's less than ideal.
I must say, the probes for my BBQ guru lasted only about 6 cooks before shitting out. My grill temp probe was telling the app the temp was around what it should be (~250) but when id go check it myself the dome lid was at like 380, which it's never been that far off. With my other temp probes the lid has been consistently about 40 degrees hotter than what it actually is. I pulled out my old thermometer and sure enough it was like 380 and essentially turned the bottom of my brisket into jerky. I say all that to ask if it's worth buying the "premium" probes from bbq guru that are supposed to be more durable or save myself the $50 and go another brand?
I'll be honest, Rudy's is good in a pinch and I don't think anyone will disagree. The level of bbq mastery in Texas is just on a whole different playing field these days. I, for one, welcome our new bbq overlords.
I stopped at Inman's BBQ while I was in Llano a few months ago and it was half decent. If Rudy's is the bar for tasty mediocrity it was about even, maybe slightly above.
I had ridge grapplers (35x12.5) on my previous truck and they still had plenty of tread left after 60K miles. I plan on buying more for the new truck soon.
Forgot to mention, my AT4 came with Goodyear Duratrac Wranglers and they are so loud at 40-60 mph that I'm dumping them early for the RG's which were whisper quiet comparatively.
I thought it was a perhaps fluke the first time, but I drank just one from different brand the other night and spent the rest of the night blowing my toilet to smithereens.
On the fajita topic: Establishments that use white meat instead of thigh for their chicken fajitas should be banished to the shadow realm.
I think I've mentioned this before but Jaden Alexis' film is superb and he will be a damn good to great WR at Texas in the mold of Quan Cosby. Let's circle back in a few years.
