BBQ Porn

My wife looks at me strangely when I grab the camera to snap some pics of my latest BBQ creation.  I guess I started photographing the process to share with other “enthusiasts” (some would call us freaks).  But I don’t think it’s that crazy.

Anyway, I fired up the Big Green Egg last night and put a 7 lb. beef brisket on for lunch today and sandwiches the rest of the week.  I used a rub that a co-worker gave me a while back.  It’s called Brisket Rub and it’s from the Goode Company in Texas.  I’ve liked most of the stuff from this outfit, but I think there are other brisket rubs that I like better.

I tended the fire late into the night, watched the Nittany Lions knock off the Buckeyes, and saw most of game 3 of the World Series.  I finally called it a night around midnight, slept soundly for 6 hours, and woke to find the egg chugging along peacefully at 235 degrees.  The brisket was done, so I wrapped it in foil, stuck it in a dry cooler, and got another hour of sleep.

Here’s what lunch looks like today.  Now who’s crazy?  🙂
