Good bread is easily and cheaply bought, good barbecued meat, not so much.

I'd go for the meat master.

You know, my pet turd is smarter than you.

Both baking bread and barbecue are very easy to do well. Sadly, neither
are commonly, or easily, purchased well.

There are vast stretches of this country where you can find neither good
bread nor good barbecue for sale at any price.

If you want to enjoy life, learn to do both well. And then learn to
brew, and you'll find good beer and good wine are as rare as good bread
and good barbecue.

One woefully ignorant poster commented that barbecue and smoked meat
"suck ass". This suggests that he never encountered GOOD barbecue or
smoked meat. Done right, they are the stuff of legend.

Being a Gemini, I do both very well. And guys, it's a way show
balance between your cavemanliness and your Alan Aldaness.

My best is olive and grain bread and mixed grill.

We entertain a lot for friends family and business, and not meaning
(really) to brag, I'm always asked for formulas. I never follow a
recipe, only my instinct, but finally started to journal my
ingredients.

My most covented get together is the summer BBQ when I serve my best
bread as big ass sandwhich buns on which you can put the grilled
animals:

Squirrel, moose, horse, venison, rabbit, frog legs, and flash seared
tuna. (each treated with their own marinade)

I send a menu out in advance with pictures (respectively) of our
dinner victims:

Rocky, Bulllwinkle, Mr Ed, Bambi, Bugs, Kermit and Charley.

Amusing post.

Thanks. Coincidentally, I was actually born in Logan, but moved away
as a teen.

What's with Logan and the horse thing?

I start my bread dough the day before, putting the rub on my brisket
and/or pork shoulder at the same time. The next day I get the meat in
the smoker, later getting the bread in the oven; hopefully to be done at
the same time. Now......I go and tap off a large mug of my homebrew as
I wait. A few mugs of overly hopped and carbonated IPA makes the
waiting a lot easier.
