OK folks, lets make a full day of it!!!Happy 4th of July!!!
Here is the flag flying today, I took it yesterday, the 3rd
My sister and her boys are coming over for inside-out bacon cheeseburgers (burgers with the cheese inside instead of out) with homemade Russian dressing and bunkhouse potatoes (potatoes baked in butter and bacon, then smothered in cheese). Then we’re going to blow stuff up!
Good morning, early-rising FRiend! Happy Independence Day, and many more!
It’s just light here, and I’m going to take my baby for a push around the block, wishing the dedicated exercisers in my neighborhood a happy 4th.
Tea Party day for my wife and I...first over to Sherman, TX and then on down to Southfork ranch for the Dallas party where they are expecting 50,000 people.
Big Green Egg is already lit......fresh lump charcoal, applwood and hickory chunks going on next, then a 7 pound boston butt (prepped last night with a good rub mixed with olive oil).
90 minutes per pound at 250 (once the butt is on the BGE, just walk away, it will do the rest with out further attention from me, the chef)......so around 1630 today, voila, beautiful pulled pork will be ready.
And will be missing y'all. Have a great time!
I'm gonna drive about two miles down the road to Eastforker's and scarf up his outstanding chow.
Then engage in a bit of artillery practice.
Happy 4th of July! We will have 40+ here for our annual festivities. After a ceremony at the flag pole, we will chow down on hamburgers, hot dogs, smoked sausages, roasted corn with chili/lime butter, potato salad, and beans. There will also be homemade ice cream made with fresh Texas peaches. To top it off we have a pie contest with about 12 entries. And we will also blow stuff up too. :)
It was GREAT!
This morning, I'm making another. I got an 18 pounder ready to go! I have hickory, mesquite, and pecan wood.
Thanks for that thread. It was educational!

Unless your’re doin’ it at a TEA Party and waving your signs that tell of your disgust of our government, I’m not interested.
We are looking forward to another HAT Independence Day celebration.
In a few minutes I will start stuffing some jalapeños.
I hope I didn’t get my brisket on too late. Put in on the smoker at @6:30 am.
It’s at 210 - 220 degrees, 11 pounds. I’ve not done too many briskets, but I am figuring 1 hour per pound, hoping to eat around 6:00 pm.
If it doesn’t get done, there is no fall-back oven to retreat to, as I am at a campground.
It smells great, with the mesquite wood smoke permeating the area.
I’ll let you know how it turns out.
The dip is made. The meat, cheese and relish trays are done. Bacon is cooked. All that is left to do is slice the jalapenos, mix up the stuff to stuff them and put them in the oven. With lots of time to spare.

This is one of two that have been on since about 7am. I have been basting these with peppers and the juice/vinegar from the can and beer...
Help. I’ve never posted a vanity, and I don’t want to start now, but I have a question about a flag I just saw on a neighbor’s house, and I thought that this would be the best place to post my question. My question: As I was just walking my dog, I passed a house with a flag I’ve never seen before. It has the regular stars and stripes but in the corner where the stars go, there is a circle of stars in the shape of an “O”. I’ve searched the internet and can’t find what it would be. It’s not the Ohio flag. I don’t want to think the worst, but the residents of the house are avid BHO supporters. Don’t want to be paranoid, but wanted to know if anyone knows what flag this could be. I’ve got to leave now but will check back. Thanks.
I’ll be doing a cookout on a much ‘bigger’ scale....
I’m working at a Sonic Drive-In from 4pm to midnight.
We’re understaffed, and we’re gonna be busy.
Got a lot of rain here, so I think I will cook inside. Still going to see my small town’s fireworks, though, rain or shine. Hope your Fourth is a good one.
I have a 6 pound pork roast slowly cooking at 250 on a gas grill augmented with a terracotta flower pot base in which there are a fwe charcoal briquets and a small smoldering fire from hickory and cherry wood.The smoldering produces nice smoke
I hope to end up with smoked pulled pork to which I will add the proper vinegar and pepper sauce in the finest East Carolina tradition.
Earlier this morning I made a great post....
The search for governor Sanford....... a hike on the Appalachian trail
