Smeggie, if you ever get your butt to an XI Fest, you'd get to experience my Saturday morning breakfast 😎

Adding more fat with butter may seem counterintuitive, but even if you drain some of the sausage fat first, the butter adds a unique richness.
And of course, the flour has to cook long enough to brown & lose its flour taste & contribute its own depth as it absorbs the pork & butter. 
The ratios I give is a good starting point. 
Post what you think, when you make it.

Honestly, when I saw your title of this, I went to HOT BROWN, convinced that was what you were going to be showing... I lived in Lexington, KY for college, and we went to Columbia Steakhouse all the time.  The Hot Brown is what we college kids wanted mostly lol.  Never made it myself, but we have a smoker, I should smoke up some turkey and make this for everyone who has no idea what a Hot Brown is here in silly Knoxville.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown   OH, I just realized I have not had anything to eat today... no wonder.  I am hungry.
Columbia Steak House in Lexington, KY is known for its famous "Hot Brown" and the "Nighthawk" special. It's also considered the oldest restaurant in Central Kentucky, opening in 1948.

Yes, I recall you mentioning this in one our conversations a few years ago. (=
I just find the flavor richer with flour in this instance.
Texture seems more pleasing to me, also. 

Biscuits 
Pound of sausage (Tennessee Pride Hot, this time)
Couple tablespoons of butter 
~1/3 cup flour
3 cups milk
Seasoning 
Brown sausage, add butter & stir for a couple minutes, add flour & stir for a few minutes until browned & bubbly, slowly add milk while continuously stirring--about 5 minutes.
Add salt, pepper etc...start with a pinch of each.

It was great meeting you also @ROCKAPE, you've been there through all of it with me and like I said when I met you, I can't thank you enough for helping me get through all the shit in the early years. 
You never know, I might be back for round 2 sometime. Cheers mate!
 

A great evening with some wonderful people.

Ive been a Senior Admin working with Rugger for 18 years, hes been here 20 years and I finally met him in the UK on the 9th May 2025.
It was fantastic to meet him and his family and friends in Lyme Regis Dorset UK.
We had a great night remeniscing everything we've had to deal with in >XI< over all those years......I don't think anyone would believe the stuff we've dealt with and the hard work we've put in to keep this clan going.
we spoke of so many members who are still here.those who left and those who have sadly passed.
It was an honour to meet Rugger and I would not have missed the opportunity to meet this legend.
I also  met Sittin Duc and his mates,Edd The Duck and his wife also,Totty and NinjaBazZa ...what a great bunch of people.
If any of you guys want to upload your pics here too it would be great.
Best Regards
ROCKAPE>XI<

Well my old bike got rear ended well stopped  at a light . been looking all winter for another .
Well her it is

 

Right on. I used a ThermoPro dual probe to calibrate the oven & monitor the internal temperature. 
Glad you liked the photos. 
It did turn out nicely & tasted sufficiently good, although it'd been even nicer if part of its journey would've included a smoker. 
Was just curious how long it takes without a crutch vs cooking the whole time wrapped. 

No I don't think you need a special gadget to cook meat. It is just most people don't think of cooking something for close to 24 hours in a oven at those low temps. With the new app controlled pellet smokers and some of the smokers out there I just thought since you live in BBQ central you had sumpin difnt. But it looked darn good

I simply baked the shoulder in the oven.
I do have a crock pot & a pressure cooker.
Also have a couple old-school Poppery 2 air popcorn poppers for roasting coffee in small batches.
My 3 favorite & most used tools are ThermoPro dual probe thermometer, a laser thermometer & an Ozeri digital kitchen scale for weighing ingredients. 
When you have a cut of whole meat, most all bacteria are on the surface, not inside; so as long as you get the surface up to safe temps, there's no particular rush to get the inside done.
Why'd you think there was a special gadget needed for slow cooking a piece of meat?
BTU's are BTU's regardless of the device...

OK OK - I'll bring dessert 

Made coleslaw & mac 'n cheese.
Portioned extra into 8oz servings in zip lock bags. 
Will probably make tacos with some next week.

Great pictures and relaxation just missing the national flower 
 

have good time  sparky

The Atlantic Salmon has been in real bad shape lately. 99% of the fish I caught were released. Stripe Bass numbers have increased to the point there are barely enough Salmon to keep the population going. The stripe bass numbers have exploded in this river system to well over 1.25 million. This high count of Bass have wreaked havoc over the Atlantic salmon. Not sure the salmon will ever recover.
The video is short and only shows 2 jumps from the fish. Rest assured it was released very quickly. I have a camp across other side of the river. It's beautiful and restful spot. I haven't slept at my camp since 2018 as I was supporting the parents. Looking forward to having a few sleepovers lol.
