Smoky Wintertide Breakfast

I love me some outdoor winter smoking, but we haven't had the brutal winter that St. Louis is accustomed to. With such mild temps, I'm taking full advantage of it.

The roasted butternut squash pancakes were delicious! My kids ate a bunch of them.

A smoked breakfast sausage is my favorite, can't have breakfast without it.

Great looking breakfast!
One of these days you might be sorry I know where O'Fallon is and make it down that way a couple times a year.

Picasa is really handy when I don't want to make you guys suffer through 50ft worth of pictures.

I didn't even mean to post the pictures this large. There is no preview before I post!

Thanks again...worship the smoke ring!

Wow, great looking breakfast. I will grilling some butternut squash with my jerk chicken tonight. I would like to use half of it to try your pancakes. Could you post the recipe?

Wow Arthur that meal looks great. I never heard of sausage smoked like that. Great idea. Also love the squash pancake idea, wow is all I can say. This is going to the top of my bbq bucket list. Did you use apple wood?
 
That's amazing. Great pictures, and I'm glad they're a little large. It's easier to appreciate all the details, like the carmelization on the pancakes.
