BEagle,
I was in DFW just last Friday and was barbecuing Texas steaks with 'D'rectly E', by his pool, in the evening, with the bleedin' snow falling! Barely-ferkin'-believable, but true! It snowed for 24 hours but we were not to be out-done ...... later on the electricity went out for 18 and a half hours in his neighbourhood. Shee-ite Mr Sherrif!
PS: I have to admit that his barbecue gizmo was of the "
gas-
faggotry"variety (bought in Doha?) that you don't like, I know, but the steak was pretty decent.
