I had my wife's family come into town over the weekend and they stayed with us, so what better time to show off the WSM's and some "Q" ;)
I did 2 racks of spares, 1 whole brisket, 2 brisket points & some ABT's.

On the left is the whole brisket and the 2 points on the right

2 racks of spares (untrimmed) rubbed down w/SM cherry & spicy apple

Spares tossed on the WSM using cherry & pecan wood chunks

While waiting for the meat, I did some jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, shrimp & wrapped in bacon.

Here they are on the smoker, using pecan wood chunks

When headed up north, looks like this is THE Place To Stay !!!
YUMMMMMM

ps... note taken on the Cherry rub. Going to add it to our shopping list. We're using his Pecan, which is also excellent.

Bob, his cherry and also the Jallelujah Bacon Jalapeno Rub by big poppa smokers is awesome. I'll have to give his pecan rub a shot.
 
Carlos,
Thanks. Will have them drop in a container (or 2) of the JBJR ;)) in with the cherry & spiced apple on the next order. Speaking of which, Sterling's service is the best !!!! And packaging is way over the top (a great thing !)

Dont you hate when that happens?? LOL Im like a kid in a candy store when I'm ordering from his site. I keep adding to the basket and I try to justify my order to the wife by saying well I need to spend at least $40 to get free shipping ;)

Very true Tony! LOL My bro in law coaches my niece/nephew in soccer and that whole crowd is puro raza. They had an end of the season party at the park and was asked to BBQ for them. So im there doing a few racks of ribs and tri-tips when I look to the side and see one of the parents with a rib wrapped in a tortilla and adding tapatio to it. That was a first!
