I am wondering how many out there use their smokers to create bribes? This is why I ask…
Some time ago I complained that I don’t get to smoke brisket or pork butts or ribs often enough since it is just my wife and me. So, I started looking for other outlets. Turns out the guys in my band really like the meats I cook, especially brisket. So, I’ve buying meats when they go on sale and smoking them for my band mates. Last weekend we were talking before a gig and the lead singer/trumpet player mentioned that now that we are getting more well-known, he gets contacted almost weekly from drummers wanting to know if we are looking for one. So, I told him that before he makes any rash moves to be sure to ask for a sample of their brisket!
Just to remind them why they put up with me, I smoked a brisket early in the week and took the packages to rehearsal Thursday night. I’m still playing!
So, who do you bribe?
