    It can be done in combination with a dry brine, or subsequent to a wet brine. I wouldn't personally do both.  The closest I've done after a wet brine is herb butter under the skin.

    Yeah.  I either wet brine or dry brine.  When using a wet brine, I rinse, season, then cook with no dry out in between.

  2. Stopped in Kyle this afternoon at Bloodworth BBQ today and was pleasantly surprised.

    Half pound moist brisket, pork ribs, pork belly, jalapeño and cheddar sausage, and slaw.  Everything was really good and reasonably priced.

    Brisket wasn't heavily seasoned so it didn't have a strong bark, but still tasted good. Simple glaze on the ribs with a good bite.  I tasted soy and brown sugar on the pork belly which worked well.  Sausage with a coarse grind and good snap.

    I'd be happy to eat there again.

    A bit of trivia from your 7th Grade Texas History class?

    Yep.  I wasn't born in Texas, but we moved here in 6th grade.  Since I was here for 7th grade Texas History, I consider myself a naturalized Texan.

    Any recs for insect repellent for a kid under 2?

    Karankawa Indians smeared their bodies with a mixture of mud and alligator or shark grease to ward off mosquitoes.

    Dove hunters show up with a swivel top bucket.

    So I got rid of my swivel top bucket years ago and replaced it with a nice camo directors chair.  At 6'4" its much easier on my knees.  I honed my dove hunting gear such that it fits in a back pack - mojo, decoys, ammo, shell/bird bag, and other random stuff.

    On Tuesday I met one of my older buddies for lunch.  He's decided that his hunting days are behind him so he had some stuff to give me - another mojo, another bag of decoys, a camo folding chair, a camo backpack, another shell/bird bag, and, you guessed it, a swivel top bucket.  I was hoping for a shotgun, but no such luck.

    Apologies if this is heresy but are pellet smokers any good for brisket? My large BGE is not ideal. It’s hard to get a big packer on there and inevitably the bottom and edges get too hot. Neighbors like but I I know it can be better. Best I ever made was on a big offset but I don’t want one of those. 

    I've had similar results on my kamado with briskets.  I'm hard headed though.  Next time, I plan to add another heat deflector and probably protect the ends with foil earlier in the cook.

    Mikey did not have a good season at all. The hamstring (there was some treatment and a needle and a stuck nerve) held him out for all but a couple games. The season was a complete clusterfuck, and the St. Louis results reflect that.

    He asked them not to pick up his option so he is now a free agent.

    It was tough to see him go from MLS Next Top-11, to barely getting any time. He had an issue with the one coach but, he had the support of Roman Burke (the goalie). Now Mikey’s agent has to get him a good landing spot. I’d love for him to get somewhere in the Eastern Conference in the MLS because it would be very easy for me to get to games but, I also would like him to get back to the Bundesliga.

    He’s had a couple good seasons in that he played for the USA in the Pan Am games in Chile, played very well in the MLS when he got in and thankfully he is now healthy. St. Louis team results have gone down each of the past two seasons after their successful debut.

    That's too bad.  I kept an eye out for him when we were playing SLC teams.  I know I watched one game with him playing and thought he did well.
