Your Instagram feed looks damn good. I'm impressed! We have family in northern Austin so I'm going to try for a visit when we are that way next.

Thanks. The Instagram is still fairly new but I'm trying to get more stuff up on it. Social media is another full-time job in and of itself.

This will be our next stop. We drive through every other weekend. We dropped by Louie Muellers in Taylor and we were disappointed. The baby backs were candied; just too much sugar.

Should have gotten the St Louis style instead of the baby backs...

I had some business in Spring this morning so I swung by Corkscrew around 10:45 and the line was short so I stopped. Great as always. The groups in front of and behind me were all first timers. We all sat at one of the large tables and they agreed it was worth the trip. One of them was a real BBQ fan and was telling us all about his travels and places he had eaten in the past few months. He wasn't high on Killen's or Tejas. He said if you're in Tomball on a saturday go to the farmer's market and there's a guy who sells BBQ there each week and is the best in Tomball.

It's crazy how accurately the quality of BBQ can be judged solely by a picture

Roegels BBQ was on the Cooking Channel tonight on the show Burgers, Brews, and Que. It was good to see Russell get some well earned recognition for all his hard work.

Bernie's was on there a couple of weeks ago. Good to see the Tine getting some recognition on a national show.

It may be a decent show, don't know as I haven't watched it, but my god I can't stand the stupid ass commercials.

I didn't try to dissuade anyone from watching based on my personal apathy towards the host but like I said, it was cool seeing Russell get some recognition.

Had Killens today with some coworkers from overseas - they were very impressed.

We arrived not long after it opened and the pork ribs today were the best I've had at Killens. Not that they've ever been terrible, but I noticed a significant difference today. For all of these places, I wonder how much the quality varies throughout the course of the day.

Just like The Masters, another year of denial.

Should have a good shot next year with the new policy, and I would be a "5" in 2020 when that goes into effect.

Same, got denied. But this was my first year entering so I probably won't have a great chance until 2021 or later.

I'm glad they are increasing the size a bit, but hoping they don't go up much more. If it gets too big, you lose a lot of the personal interaction and people wouldn't get quite as much out of it I feel like.

Denied as well. I did go in 2015 so I can't complain too much. I was trying to go with a buddy who is only 2 years into the process so we'll keep trying.

And I agree, I hope it doesn't get too much bigger.

What's this "policy" you're talking about? So if I'm not really interested in going for a couple years does that mean I need to start applying for a spot any way?

From the email:

The popularity of the camp is at an all-time high this year and it showed with member-lottery entries nearly doubling from last year. We're going to do a few things over the next several years to address this popularity.

First, starting this year, we increased the number of spots available to 70 (up from 50). We'll continue to take that many until demand decreases.

Second, the waiting list will no longer be drawn randomly each year but will be based instead upon seniority.

Finally, we're going to pilot a policy that anyone with a multiplier of "5" or more (meaning those members who've been with us for at least five years and have never attended camp) will automatically gain a spot in that year's camp. We have very few members who fit these criteria each year, but we want to make sure that the process to get into Camp Brisket doesn't continue beyond five years for any of our members. This policy will be effective for the 2020 Camp Brisket.

And my thinking was off. The 2020 Camp Brisket is actually the next one after this drawing. I won't be "5" when I apply next year. I incorrectly thought we were 2 drawings away from that one.

So you have to buy a membership in order to even enter the lottery?
