It's 11 a.m. on a beautiful day for The Great Posse Smokefest in Dallas.

Everyone has had a nap -- some longer than others -- and we feel rejuvenated after a night of fellowship around the pits.

Most of the meat is done and resting. Chris' pork butt still has some time to go. Justin's brisket, which looks absolutely beautiful, is finishing.

We just loaded the chickens on the Jambo.

For now, we can relax and enjoy the smell of hickory smoke.
