Sounds neat, I personally just picked up the sci-fi classic "Dune" by Frank Herbert. Somehow I have owned it for years but never once sat down and cracked it open. I'm only a few chapters in (Paul is just now arriving on Arrakis) but I have been really enjoying it! I'm excited to dive into some of the worldbuilding aspects and see what makes this the classic it is!

Ha! My family is all inclusive of BBQ! If it's meat that's on a fire it is welcome in this home. As for the details this one is not a back-breaker at all! Very easy.

Brine: 3.5 hr in 2gal water with 1/2cup salt, lemon zest, spruce tips, dash of soy sauce, and some leftover dried thai chiles.

Beer: Pleasuretown IPA from Midnight Sun Brewing Company (with a shot of blanco tequila)

Rub: Melted butter and olive oil inside and out. Salt/Pepper/Garlic & Onion Powder inside and out.

Time/Temp: 2hr at 325°F over apple wood pellets.

Sides: Steamed asparagus, purple potatoes, grilled corn, and margaritas.

Thanks for the reminder of how amazing my girlfriend and her family is! And so sorry you had to put up with so much shit! You are a better man than I, for I would've certainly been unable to avoid causing a scene!
