Thorsday and Boxing Day Open Thread
Good Morning!
How was your Christmas? Our new smoker cooked a little faster than we anticipated, usually it takes about 15 hours to smoke a brisket, yesterday our brisket cooked in less than 7 hours; it was drier than the turkey on on National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Fortunately, we smoked a pork butt the day before so we had that instead. We’re saving the brisket to make chili next week along with the leftover pork. Happy Boxing Day to our Canadian and European readers! Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and some disappointment, I didn’t get a jelly of the month club enrollment as a Christmas bonus, it’s the gift that keeps on giving..

(questionable language in here, don’t click if that offends)
Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waiter, and Welcome Aboard!
