I would've asked about the sister too

[Samurai Shiba @SamuraiShibaJP]

My friend from Texas called again.

(Last time it was the ranch bigger than Tokyo. I'm still recovering.)

HIM: "Big news. I'm moving to Japan. And I'm bringing Bertha."
ME: "Congratulations! I didn't know you were seeing someone."
HIM: "Ha. Bertha's been with me longer than any woman ever has."
ME: "Does she speak Japanese?"
HIM: "She doesn't talk. She smokes."
ME: "Smoking indoors is getting hard in Japan."
HIM: "Oh, she stays outside. Always has."
ME: "Outside?? All night?"
HIM: "Sometimes 14 hours straight. Never complains."
ME: "...What does she eat?"
HIM: "Oak, mostly. Hickory on weekends."

I had to sit down.

ME: "Can I ask something personal? Is she... human?"
HIM: "Buddy. She's better than human. She's family."
ME: "Family?"
HIM: "My granddad built her with his own two hands."

My mother had been listening. She took the phone. I translated.

MOM: "Is she a good cook?"
HIM: "Best brisket in Texas."
MOM: "How big is she?"
HIM: "About 500 pounds."
MOM: "Good. Japanese winters are cold. She'll keep the house warm."
MOM: "Does she have a sister?"
HIM: "Little sister back in Lockhart. Only 250."
MOM: "We have a spare room."

Then he sent a photo.

Bertha is a barbecue smoker.

My mother stared at it for a long time.

Then she said:

"Ask about the sister."

Do energy drinks make y'all jittery before you even finish one?

Pork butt on the smoker sounds amazing

[Jeff Peterson @Weatherhack]

#GolfChat No tee time for today. Plan: Pork Butt and throw it on the smoker at 3:45 a.m. 225°, low and slow. Problem-no local stores had butts. OK, ribs it is. Go to store for eggs this morning. Lo and behold, Pork butts. Going hot (275°) and fast for the 1st 3 hrs. Wish me luck.

Glad the shed is okay! Sheesh that's a lot of gravel

[Frank Brown @FrankBr05713205]

Good news. Earlier in the week, I posted that while I was trying to move a shed my straps broke and it fell over backwards. Well, I got the shed righted and no damage was done.
Now I have 24 tons of gravel to put in the driveway. The bobcat and I will be busy the rest of the day.

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

That burger looks like it came out sooo amazing 😋

[Crappie-doc 🐟🎣 @crappiedoc]

A kicked up smoked burger. 1/2 pound ground beef trimmings. A little Worcestershire worked in. Patty coated in @Pickapeppa sauce then seasoned with @DadsSeasonings Ultimate steak. 225 all the way. Picking up smoke

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

I would absolutely be opening one of these every day

[vanessa. ¹⁶ ³ 🏎️🏁 (•˕ •マⳊ @monegasquemood]

Bought something nice for myself today 😇

Still waiting red bull to sponsor me.

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Brisket and football, now that's a Thanksgiving

[Lance Manion @LanceManio68499]

I smoked the best brisket and the finest cigar.

Lions won. 🏈

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Man that smell when brisket's been smoking all afternoon

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

I really just taped a cheeseburger to the wall

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Pork shoulder low and slow with a good smoke, that's it 💯

[NyanChuu🔮🇯🇵🍭 @tanpukunokami]

Pulled pork is becoming a thing in Japan.

It got so popular that even 7-Eleven has started selling it in bento boxes.

And now I have a serious question for Americans.

What is the best way to make real pulled pork?

Low and slow?
Smoked for hours?
A specific cut of pork?
A secret BBQ sauce?

Japan is trying to figure this out.

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

I'll stick to my coffee, Celsius sounds intense

[lanie @l4nie0]

drinking a Celsius energy drink and my body is on fire

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

I need a cup of this when it's cold out

[Dédáyọ̀ Roots @DedayoRoots]

Cold weather? Brew this.

Ginger (àtàlẹ) + turmeric (àtàlẹ pupa) + clove (kanafuru) + lemongrass (kooka oba) or scent leaf (ẹfìrin) + honey (oyin).

Simmer 10-15 mins and SIP WARM.

Ancestral warmth, simple kitchen science.

How👇🏾

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Good smoked chicken takes patience and it's always worth it

[Krisla🌺 @KrislaMaris]

Chicken smoked using a Big Green Egg for dinner. 🍗🔥 It's really good but it takes time. 🤭

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Y'all wrap your brisket or let it ride the whole time?

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

That pork looks so good, I need to fire up the grill 😋

[MadinaMali @Its_Libra_2nd]

The burnt ends on that pork gives this smokey flavour, y'all should try preparing pork this way

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Yooo those ribs look amazing, I'd tear them up

[Mark T @_thunderousthum]

Smoked pork ribs and beef short ribs today.
Short ribs for a chilli con carne and pork ribs to strip the pork meat off for other things.
Might do a Mexican pizza tomorrow with some of it

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

@itsDongol they better appreciate that brisket

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

Beef ribs all day for me

[BBQFriend @bbqfriend]

Beef Ribs > Brisket

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

@solarystix They better not have you cooking all damn day 😂

[Frank Atwood @AtwoodFrank74]

I need to try this, orange and coffee sounds so good

[Saurabh Dalvi @iamsaurabhdalvi]

Mont blanc = Cold brew + Orange cold foam
Reminded me of those cheap orange cream biscuits
