Listen to the indirect heat idea. With direct heat you have a cook-out, indirect is a BBQ. You must be having all these folks over for breakfast because any good Texan knows that pig is a breakfast animal. Sausage, bacon, ham, breakfast food, beef is a dinner animal. Try to serve pig after noon in Texas and you will here, 'You ain't from around here are ya?' or 'Git a rope!'
Lawdog, excellent description of BBQ attire, including the BBQ gun. Let's clarify that the BBQ attire that you described is valid for ranches in Texas, but will get you denied admittance to some of the up-scale BBQ's held at estates in the Dallas, Austin, or Houston areas. A tuxedo is frequently the correct dress, though the boots, hat, and bolo tie are not uncommon accessories. My BBQ gun is a Kahr MK9 with the slide of polished stainless steel. I am going to have the barrel and trigger jewelled. The ultimate BBQ gun in my opinion is a blue Walther PPK engraved with gold inlays and ivory grips. The guns are not worn openly, but pulled out for 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' disscussions. A black crocodile shoulder rig really sets off the engraved Walther nicely.
