The price of newer fly fishing gear is ridiculous! I've got a bunch of great stuff I've had for decades, and it still catches fish. ;)

Perrazi, thanks for the details on the brisket! I love my BGE, and I've had many great pork butts, chicken, prime rib, etc., come off it. Have not had an acceptable brisket yet. I'll give yours a try. (y)

Only advise I can offer you is cook to an internal temperature not by a timer. I like to remove once it hits between 185/195 wrap in foil then in towels and put in a cooler to rest for a few hours. My personnel belief is the cooler rest is as important as the cooking temperature and letting it reach the right internal temperature.
 
I always go by temp, continuously monitored during cook. To be honest, I've only tried brisket a couple of times. Think I'll try it again soon, though, maybe for Thanksgiving. I'll let you know how it turns out!
 
Pan Telera for chicken Tortas

Flour salt and butter in the mixer





Warm water yeast and honey rehydrating:





Pour in the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a dough ball form. If it stick to the touch add 1/4 +/- of flour and mix for another minute or two.





With a dough hook knead for 6 to 8 minutes or if kneading by hand 8 to 10 minutes. Then put dough ball back in a bowl and cover with a clean towel for 60 to 90 minutes or until it doubles in size





Punch down dough and cut into 8 to 10 pieces and form a ball out of each piece and set aside for 5 minutes





Roll the ball into a cigar shape and flatten out to about 1/2" thick and place on a lined cookie sheet. Cover with greased plastic until they all but double in size. While waiting for the loaves to double set the oven the oven to 400 degrees to preheat.

After the dough has doubled brush top and side with egg wash and cut to parallel slits in the tops. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown.





Money shot:




For the sandwich filling:

Chicken was marinated in olive oil, lime juice, adobo rub, chili powder, cumin seed and Mexican oregano the grilled over lump charcoal.

Pan Telera sliced in half top side coated with homemade guacamole bottom slice coated in mashed black beans. Then a slice of cheese, chunked up chicken, sliced onion, shredded lettuce and diced cherry tomato.
 
That is amazing. There is a lot more to operating a P51 than I ever thought.

There was a guy by the name of Tim Wallis who started a warbirds collection in New Zealand. Unfortunately while doing low level passes in his Spitfire over a music concert he forgot to monitor his fuel tanks and ran the tank empty. He did not have the altitude to switch tanks and restart the motor, and crashed.
He survived but I think spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Not sure how many of you have seen this, but it's pretty interesting, even if you have only a passing interest in P-51 Mustangs. (Or airplanes in general, for that matter)
that’s a neat video. I’ve never been into plains much but I do like to see how things work
