Barbecue
LongJim replied to meanJewGreen's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Oh absolutely. Enjoy. You can make delicious stuff in there. Most of the fun with BBQ is tackling a recipe and seeing what you end up with! You can try low and slow/indirect roasting in the gasser. Just use burners on one side and a smoking tray. Lots of recipes out there, but I'd suggest a pork loin or shoulder to start with. They're easier to get good results with. Good luck and have fun. -
Barbecue
LongJim replied to meanJewGreen's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
My go to is actually a 22" Weber Kettle, which (IMO) is the greatest BBQ tool ever invented. Everyone should have one. I have a BGE and a gasser as well. I like to cook chicken and hamburgers on the gasser generally, because it's quick and easy. If I have time, I use the kettle or BGE for low and slow or steaks. I generally use the kettle because it's so versatile. We did 2 pork butts for the 4th, and they turned out great. It's kind of difficult to use a gas grill for smoking, and to be honest, you'll be happier with the results from a kettle or stick burner. Here are the butts pre-cook: Here's one after the cook: Here's a brisket from a while back: Here's a meatloaf. Didn't sauce this one. Yeah, you can do these on the grill. You won't go back to the oven. Another brisket...15 pound packer IIRC: And a prime rib. Only way to make 'em: The above were all cooked on a 22" Weber grill. Pizza is great on a grill as well. Very versatile. Enjoy your gasser though. They're great too. -
Not even close.

Topics Getting Closed
LongJim replied to UNTLifer's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Folks go into them and blow them up by going off on a tangent about nothing related to the topic. Hot weather we've been having though! Here comes summer! You guys ready for the 4th?? -
Interesting article here. Lots of factors at work to drive prices up, but the salient point of the article, in my opinion: "To review, Biden’s position on oil refining is that new refineries should not be constructed, the ones that exist should be regulated with increasing stringency if not closed down, and even if they do stay in business, they shouldn’t be allowed to make too much money — but please do me a solid and refine more oil, or else." Even all they ever wanted had a problem

I know there may be a few that laugh up their sleeve at this--not sure why--but this kind of $ donor and willingness to invest in the university can transform the entire school in virtually unlimited ways.

College enrollment down
LongJim replied to meangreen11's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Might even be encouraging that not everybody is wanting to go to "college". There are plenty of jobs that don't require it. I think it's desirable to have some sort of training for a career after HS, but college is definitely not mandatory for lots of great jobs, and as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing. -
NCAA to Schools: We're going to start enforcing NIL rules now

Hilarious. That horse left the barn long ago. -
I saw this on the interwebs today. Not sure if I should be surprised. ******************************************************************** Going back to 1960, there have only been 26 schools to win a football national championship. Alabama Arkansas Auburn BYU Clemson Colorado UF FSU Georgia Georgia Tech Miami Michigan Michigan St. Minnesota Nebraska Notre Dame Ohio State Ole Miss OU Penn State Pitt Tennessee Texas USC (Southern Cal) Washington Go back to 1940 and you just add Maryland, UCLA, Iowa, Syracuse, and Army.

How far will they go?

It's all about priorities. -
Is it time for RV to be inducted in the HOF?

Time heals all wounds? -
I'm relatively ignernt when it comes to basketball, but man, couldn't agree more with this. They've got to get at least some points in the paint, or be a threat there. Some credit to Texas State's defense too, though. They were pretty good.

Yes sir, that would explain it!

Ah. That makes sense then.
