    I don't think so.

    Got in an argument with my friend about this because he text and said, "Franklins BBQ up in flames". Without a news link BTW.

    I text him back with a link and said it's not up in flames, just a pit caught fire, the restaurant is fine. He argued with me about what up in flames means. I told him any normal person is going to see the words up in flames and assume at minimum severe damage. LOL

    That's all I could gather from googling earlier. It was just where the pits are, but not the restaurant at all.

    Looking good.
    This afternoon I was chilling in my garage with one door open during a break in the rain.
    Don't know who it was but one of my neighbors was grilling burgers and it smelled GREAT.
    For breakfast I baked a full pan of HEB hatch-pepper bacon that made the whole house smell awesome but the smell of those grilling burgers was even better.

    You got it! When I was a kid, the smell of hamburgers on a charcoal grill was the official smell of summer! Hope you and the family are staying dry.

    Haha. You know, I don't broil steaks often, but the smell is so intoxicating when they are broiled. Just wonderful.

    During that small break of rsin around 1 yesterday I almost fired up the grill. But I decided to nap.

    Thanks. I would recommend everyone use a split brisket because of its low cost and the size. So if you mess up. No big deal really.

    Thanks Tom.

    I baked it at 275 (I was nervous about time so I bumped it from 250 I was gonna do) for around 4.5 - 5 hours, and then pulled them out and wrapped in foil for another hour. Then let rest for 30 - 45 minutes. Other than the green bell peppers and onions you see above I added one IPA to the pan before putting in the oven. And in case your curious, the only reason I did the green bell peppers and onions was because I had them available.

    I may do that, but when I go through the time of starting a fire to smoke, I may as well go all in lol.

    Yep, I've got a thermometer that you can leave in while it's smoking baking. It's not a high dollar but works.

    picked up a bag of "Shawarma" marinade from the grocery store a few weeks ago that had tasty looking ingredients (cardamon, nutmeg, cumin etc) and just yesterday got around to getting some lamb to match it with.
    About 2.5lbs of gorgeous lamb steaks, marinaded with sauce and red onions for ~6 hours, grilled over hot coals came out GREAT.
    Also threw on some hot Italian links that were taking up space in the freezer.
    Sliced the steaks and served on fresh tortillas with home made tzatziki, with orzo salad with feta on the side.
    YUM
