My Christmas Rib Roast

[IR2dum]

I found a rib roast on sale at Krogers. Sprinkled with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.

Put it on the New Braunfels offset smoker.

Burning charcoal and oak wood.

Maintained 200 degrees for about 3 hours.

Pulled at IT of 120 degrees, foiled, and toweled for 30 minutes while heating oven broiler to 550 degrees.

Put in oven at full blast for 6 minutes (3 per side) to crisp up skin. Forgot to take a picture.
Final temp was 130 degrees.

Here it is plated with garlic mashed potatoes and sweet, buttered corn on the cob.

It turned out perfectly cooked and very juicy and tender with a very nice smoke flavor.. I will do this again because it is so easy and almost foolproof. Even someone who is 2dum can do it.

T - to know: cuz is a Longhorn & I'm a coog 

Exactly why an Aggie (me) had to do that.....

[IR2dum]

tee, next year we won't even know what an Aggie is.

[teesquare]

You know you T-sips will miss us Don...We were the team that has kept UT on it's toes every year.

[teesquare]

Was not my decision Jack...Mack Brown wanted the job....but, A&M turned him down....

[IR2dum]

Tim, all kidding aside, I will miss your Aggies. I wish that cooler heards would have prevailed. I also want to wish ya'll good luck in the SEC. Luckily, you will still be able to carry on this conversation with Dee, TwoPockets,  TMB, and Lost Arrow next year. Just change Texas to Alabama or LSU.

Well - I don't like the move Don - at all.  If the UT / A&M rivalry was 113 years(?) in the making, and steeped in the continuously entertwining histories of both schools. There were socially significant events that were far larger in impact than just the 2 schools....The Chicken Ranch - and the subsequent publice knowledge of that, eventually becoming a musical. ( I know - whooda thunk it...? )
And - the naming of Bevo - due to the bull being stolen by A&M students and branded with the score of the recent ( 1913?) meeting of the football teams ( one of the minority of games in which A&M won)

Then the outpouring of compassion and respect offered by UT after the collapsed timbers for the annual bonfire at A&M (which killed 13 BTW...think about the significance of that number to A&M )

Inseparable. Like two feuding sibling brothers. They may fight like cats and dogs - but don't get in between them.

No Don - there will be NO replacement for that rivalry. To attempt such would serve only to cheapen the honor, the history, and true Texas spirit of both schools - and the Republic of Texas.
