I removed the sausage from the WSM after two hours of smoke at 120º and sliced into it

dammed good stuff! the smoke ADDS to the flavor very nicely...
the bacon was also removed from the Weber, submerged in ice water for 20 minutes or so,
then tossed into the freezer

after a while, the ribs looked + felt pretty much done...

opened a bottle of Rufus Whiskey Maple sauce, got out the Buffalo Trace and tried to get creative

Thanks for stoppin' by!
 
Everything looks A-1, but I especially love to see folks make their own bacon. Got a few pounds of it curing in the fridge as we speak, er, type.
 
Whiskey River don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Lots of meatilicious happenings going on for a quiet Smoke Day, and everything looks quite wonderful!!
 
Looks like a terrific day Jim - quiet or loud that's a "everyone's happy" result with the food, the libations and the fire...
 
Nice smoke day in Raymond! Looks like you made a day out of it with the dual smokers going! Great finale with the fire pit rolling!

Looks like fun Jim!! Way to do it up right!!
 
Fantastic bacon/sausage/ribs! Your materials look sooooo perfectly before / after smoking.
Are you a precise man Jim.
