Grilled chicken thighs (bone-in w/skin, of course) last night for dinner. Finally, a warm evening in D.C. area.
How was the rest of the menu? It's on my backup list of places to eat in Vegas this November, but I could be swayed...2 day pre-ordered Peking Duck at Mott 32 in vegas....words can't describe

Meals after a poker win are extra tasty.Treated the family to a nice dinner with some of last nights cash game’s winnings. Had a great baked sausage, peppers and onions over penne…with a side of wild turkey!View attachment 915171
Good to know. Lived in El Paso in the 90's and have not duplicated it ever. Will try this weekend!I think I finally figured it out last weekend. Watched a few videos that discuss some techniques the top BBQ joints in TX “aren’t telling you” Started with a prime brisket my Costco just started carrying this year. Cooked at 250 for 3 hours then 275 the rest of the cook and didn’t wrap in butcher paper until the bark looked great and the fat was rendered. Used my Primo xl and made sure the I was burning a super clean fire before I put the food on.
But the absolute game changer was to rest it in a warm oven for 9 hours. Evidently all the top places rest at 145 for up to 12hrs before they serve!!
After the brisket was tender I took out of the pit and let it rest in a cold oven until the temp came down to 110. Then I set the oven to the lowest temp (170) for about 8 hours before we ate and served at 145. FINALLY after many tries over many years I made a brisket equal to the best I’ve had in TX!
