Bovine muscle tissue. Disgusting!!

Bloody hell, that looks good Curt. Nice work!

.....Try some Ovine(sheep) & some Caprine(goat)aka...Hircine, very earth shaking
*Good*
(not meant for sacrifice)

Lamb is a favorite. I cooked a whole goat in a fire pit at the red River goat cook off in burkburnett tx. Didn't place, but it was still great

I have been watching the political content. I like the fact that the regulars here are choosing to ignore the political in favor of a discussion about smoked beef.


I don't know who on here gets the credit for this quote, but it has stuck in my head for many years now.

"MMMMMMMM...... Cow. "


Now I am hungry.

When I get sick I go see Barney

Thanks for watching out clay. However, if one user and all his alias' were gone, 90% of all the political talk and just pure bullshit would go away. I have him and all his misguided personalities on ignore so its easy to not reply to his SHIT! I urge everyone to not read or reply to his shithead post.

And when I need abuse I can count on the Cabinet Maker. LOL!

Dang, that food looks good!!!

If this thread was started in the Sandbox where it belongs there would be no issue.

G1 couldn't see it because of the ban.

For heaven's sake, less than 30 days under your belt and you're spouting rules? Curt, i have my decoder ring handy.

Without rules there is anarchy.

Decode that.

I felt it 10 miles from Lincoln Ne. It felt like I was dizzy, which after working 13hrs at night is not unusual, then the drapes started whacking the windows. Ya go ahead and laugh Cali., but I have sat through 3 tornados! I DON'T LIKE EARTHQUAKES!!! My wife thought I was rocking the bed to get her up. Weird.

I could with stand at least a 6.0 for that BBQ
Olsib 914..yet another Mike

Kevin, I'll send you the recipe for the beans.

Curt - there are some of the Porsche folks here in Durango with smokers that would be interested in your recipes since you used to cook on the circuit.

Not asking to share your secrets but some tried and true injections, rubs and cook times. Right now I am using Myron Mixon, Franklin and Meathead Goldwyn's recipes.

Maybe they belong in The Sandbox? We should start a slow cook, BBQ, smoked meat thread.

Sorry -

Mike, this thread was started about an earthquake. No different from folks who post about hurricanes, floods, tornados, and other natural disasters. It got off topic and I chose to ignore the political and Shit responses by turning it to bbq. Surely there is nothing political about bbq. Did it get off topic? Yes. Did it belong in the sandbox? No. A thread about bbq would in my opinion belong in the box. I won't reveal any of my secrets in the box.

I think there might be a bbq thread in the sandbox already. I'd like to do something on fb as a group maybe. A 914 bbq group would be ok.

What type of smokers are they using in Colorado?

Webers or Sensimilla?



I vote for the Sandbox since there is no P content.

I vote for keeping it in the garage.

Mmmm...fire smoked meat,a braise and slowcooked beans.Salivating.
Usually,a decent meal and an afternoon nap is rejuvenating.

Unlike hurricanes,which are given names of people,quakes are named for their rough location.
A scientific approach,with a numbering system,might educate the unwashed masses.
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome...ize+earthquakes
Stuff breaks,falls down,because we build the same way,expecting a different result.
For those of you who have experienced a big quake,just know,the big one will be continent sized,changing everything.
Doom?Not really,survival planning,readiness preparation and food,shelter and power contingencies.

Boy, I need a good laugh.

My experience with earthquakes living in California goes way back but the buster for me was the Loma Prieta quake where I was just a few miles from the center. The 6.9 caused me to loose most all my stuff inside my house including clothing believe or not and I wasn't even home. I was in Emeryville just north of the Cypress overpass seeing clients. I left my last one in hopes to getting back to see the world series which I never did see. Arriving at the office it happens watching the cars dance in the parking lot then hearing all the reports of damage and deaths including the Cypress structure collapse killing many people that I just passed under less than a half hour earlier.
The worst thing was I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains and they closed Highway 17 not being able to get back to assess the damage to my place until 3:30 a.m. by taking damaged back roads driving my personal old school Mini Cooper S.
I can only say that they will become more frequent and everyone should be prepared.!

Thanks veekry. That may be the first thing you've ever written that I completely understand!

Bbq good. That's how the political stuff gets pushed aside. Good thing his garage didn't collapse on his 914. Content. All good.

Well,that's a good question.
As you watched the grille move,did you also watch the house move?No cracks in the plaster or exterior brick sheath?Glass is ok?
A frame on concrete slab construction,predominant in the Tulsa suburbs,would,I think,be less prone to quake damage.
I have seen some brick facade falls on the news.Nothing like the damage in Italy's 'Terremoto',where cut-stone buildings totally collapsed.
The big northwester that's coming,has been calculated to cause the greatest damage economically,ever experienced by America.
Just like in the movies,only worse,because fiction is the making of man,reality is the making of,well,the universe.
It will be tough to cope with the chaos,an event far greater in scope than the power failures of a few days.
Some dire conditions,and I think,a change in how we relate to the earth,a 'bad mother'.Happened before,will again.

No damage whatsoever. No cracks in walls or ceilings except for the ones that have been there for 60 years from being built on Oklahoma clay. Being built in the 1940's it has no slab.

Well,got lucky.
Been through Tulsa a few times,picking up 30 tons of heat exchanger coils.
Nice country,blows some though.

My town had three tornadoes on the same day a number of years back. They touched down about 2 miles from where I currently am sitting. I've also been through a bunch more, growing up in central Illinois.

I prefer the quakes to the tornadoes. They may affect a larger area, but not nearly as strongly. Even a big quake leaves most modern buildings standing. (Thank heavens for building codes!) A half-decent tornado will take down just about any building it hits.

And, in the midwest, tornadoes occurred many times a year. Every year. Quakes big enough to notice only happen every year or two, and ones big enough to do actual damage are every couple of decades.

I'm happy to deal with quakes and not tornadoes. (At least, not often.)

--DD

I prefer Hurricanes - they give you time to prepare and go out & buy Beer!

I see a whole bunch of geologists own 914s

The brisket looks great....gotta get the recipe. I have made two so far...first was good, second I killed.

Helps to be Jewish

I.m a civil engineer...not a geologist but I know more than one geotechnical engineer and geologist....so I know a few things about soils and earthquakes.

I also actually own a running 914...drive it...and have met quite a few of great folks here that post on this board.

Can.t eat the wonderful brisket and or meats though. I have high cholesterol and believe what the doctors tell me about my heart attack risk .......now.....

Whenever you tell someone you are going to "smoke" something when you live in Colorado you always have to explain...

I will keep an eye in the Sandbox!

We're supposed to get hit by a hurricane tonight in AZ. True it's just the remnants of the one that hit baja, but still...

Next time you shop for one; hold it in the middle with one hand. If it droops at the ends noticeably you have a good one. If it's stiff as a diving board it's tough meat and will be mediocre at best!

Thank you....any rub or treatment advice while it cooks? Newbie here, but I love it when it is cooked right.

Salt n Pepper. That's all I use. 225F 1hr per pound. Fat side remains on top through out the cooking process. Don't trim it off! And lots of smoke.

I grab them by each end and pick the one that folds the most and easiest. I use Stubbs bbq spice rub and wrap it tightly in service wrap and rest in frig overnight. Next morning I unwrap it and cover it completely with black pepper. I then sear all sides before placing in smoker. I never cook by time. Just probe tender. Usually around 200° I.T.

So, according to military theory, you make targets. :-D

Subtle point Clay but not lost on by your good self.

Saturday's earthquake was upgraded to a 5.8 today. They also found a previously undiscovered fault line running under Pawnee, OK.

Hey Curt!

I was down by Sallisaw driving out to our Ceremonial Grounds when it hit. It was all the discussion as we were cutting up the 12 half Hogs for the Hog Fry later!

I told the "Boys" that we call anything in the "Fives" a "Roll Over" - you wake up , note that it's a quake, then roll over & go back to sleep!

Sorry I didn't have any time for our usual BBQ get together before nor after the long weekend of goins on, but maybe next trip .... whenever that is?? I just got home late 11:30 pm last night.

BTW - I paid that stooopid ticket from last time & included a note for the mayor, but ole Dewey never called me! I mean really - 7 cars not seeing any signs ain't no good marking.

So,it's true now.The hugest,like,forever.
When the discovery of the Pawnee fault happened,it was the noise and movement that signalled it's presence on Saturday.
A quiet fault will remain undiscovered for that reason,as the most prevalent sensing tools we have is the seismometer and tellurometer.
The big one at New Madrid has no data from such devices,as they had not yet been in use,in 1812.Other than written descriptions,
and direct measurements of the displacements,it is a tall job to determine the scale of the tremblor,204 years ago.
316 years ago,January 26,1700,at 9pm,the huge displacement of Cascadia sent a monster tsunami toward Japan.
The scale of that one is nearly off the charts,~M9,the evidence now clear,something massive did happen,as the Huu-ay-aht people said.
Will again,for sure,the when of it is the tough part,we need more and better means of measuring the stress in the ground.
GP-Radar,acoustic echo location,vibration amplitude imaging,all of these techniques show promise,and generate more data.

There's more,the records of the calamities that have been inadvertently forgotten,is a key part of data samples.
Without those records,a skewed proof is created.Below is a good example of that sort of fact exclusion,or,selective oopsy.

That is the point of recording history,a complete set of facts,for future research.
Otherwise,the description more applicable is 'some small part of history',or 'incomplete history'.
The survivors of the big one,in 1700,told the story accurately to this day,more than three centuries later.
