Fishing and Thinking of BBQ

Sitting on the Dock of  the Bay

Paradise means sitting on the end of a dock and  fishing just for fun.  Which is what I do as often as I can. Which ain’t enough.  You get a lot of information from those who would like to fish for fun too. You can talk about what you want. Eventually it will turn to a subject I like best and that is the advantage of good smoked BBQ versus the benefits of Great BBQ. 

To my surprise someone had the “ hard boiled eggs”  to suggest that we take a short cut.  Forget the long low cooking routine it takes for smoking BBQ! Well I looked at him quizzically and asked,  “what pray tell is your suggestion”. With my most Oxford English accent. “ Just order it on line.” I laughed so hard I almost fell into the bay.  “ No it’s true“, he said with agitation.  “Just go to 3 Bros BBQ“.  Huh, have I been scooped or snookered .  I reeled in my line and put on my sandals and started home.  Half way anticipation got the best of me and I detoured and stopped at the local library and got on line. “It is true”!  I said loud and excitedly.  Loud enough to almost knock a few visitors off their seats. I quickly became the focus of all who were surprised by my out burst.  The same place I visit for Great BBQ when in New York. I felt a sinking feeling.  I felt betrayed. Thinking that I was the last to know. Great BBQ at my finger tips.  How can that be. 

Oh what will happen to me. Now that it is possible to get Great Smoked BBQ.  Simply by typing on a keyboard.  Then I realized it was a good thing…. Smoking BBQ for my crowd meant more than just cooking and smoking. It was an event. An excuse for a good time and a couple of cold ones.  Now I also had the secure feeling of having  pulled pork, chicken and brisket and let us not forget the smoked hot sausage. Imagine double smoked bacon when ever I had a hankering for it. I just never could duplicate the way they do it.   I am sooooo happy.
