Why not take it to the next level and find a great BBQ restaurant? Imagine how much drinking time you'd have then.

I don't know where I go from here, I just know that I'm still not ready to get rid of my beloved Texas Trio just yet so she just sits there while I continue to experiment with 'pellet cookery'

To be perfectly honest with everyone, I'm writing this while a 7 pound bone-in pork butt is smoking over a blend of Apple, Maple, and Cherry hardwood pellets. So far I’ve smoked a 3 pound beef roast over Jack Daniels Blend Pellets - and it came off the grill tasting like a medium rare steak. Sliced thin, and piled high on pretzel buns with a dab of horseradish and some melted cheese - we had roast beef sandwiches that rivaled the Arby's Beef and Cheddar. Two racks of 3-2-1 Memphis style baby backs came out so succulent and juicy that they looked like they had been brushed with BBQ sauce.

I know some will judge me - so be it – those are the limits of YOUR life while you rule over your own little kingdom of BBQ prejudice and a sour bigotry towards alternative cookstyles. I prefer diversity and inclusion when it is time to cook succulent juicy delicious smoked meats in a judgment free dining room.
My kitchen is your safe space if you dare enter!
OMG....I'm jealous...Now that is some "Big Drip" succulent smoked meats.....I'd be in a meat coma; a delightful meat coma...

I've been down that road. The food is great, but the ambiance is not only lacking - it seems that the hosts are ALWAYS rude.

-If they are going to complain about the broken glass, why didn't they just bring me my beer in a can?
-They got all pissed off when I start stringing up party lights around my table.
-The ceilings are too low to get a good toss when you are playing corn hole - I had three or four bean bags stuck in the rafters at Tony Roma's before we even finished eating the first pile of baby backs.
-The manager came over three or four times mumbling about vulgar language, playgrounds, and inside voices. I never did figure out why he was so uppity.
-The angry old broad at the next table got all pissed off when I told her kids to go outside and play, because the adults are trying to talk.
-When they called the cops on me for peeing in the bushes, I knew it was the VERY last time I would ever invite them to a Sunday BBQ with my family.

That's my other big issue with commercial BBQ joints. You have no idea how hard it is to take a nap when you are surrounded by a bunch of self righteous, judgmental party poopers.
...of course I must admit, anytime there is BBQ and booze - you fall asleep at your own risk.

When my brother in law passed out and we all dropped trou' to get a picture of his sleeping face surrounded by our naked asses, the old lady at the corner table fell the fuck out of her chair.

Rhubard Custard Pie

Mom used to be the pie maker but no more. She always made a great rhubarb custard pie hopefully this one will be ok. I am not a crust maker though which is something I need to work on, her crusts were to die for. I am not a fan of the ready made crusts.

Rhubarb custard, that sounds very tasty, I’ve only had the rhubarb/ strawberry pies but have several rhubarb plants. May have to try this.

In the small town I lived in a lady named Mary Thompson who used to have a small restaurant continued to make pies after it was sold, very delicious pies. I miss that now that I’m in a larger city. Few from the grocery store bakeries are worth eating and those from specialty bakeries are priced ridiculously high.

Looks delish! I'm not a crust maker either, but I've heard a little vodka in the dough makes it nice and flaky. Water develops gluten, vodka will not.

Picanha

Smoked a 3# Picanaha today, Smoker ran around 275 and it took 1 hour and 20 minutes to hit an internal temp of 145. Gave the meat a 30 minute rest and it was incredible. For those of you familiar with this cut you will notice that this looks nothing like a Picanha, I rolled mine up and tied it with string, I figured it would be more uniform and smoke more evenly and I think I was correct.
