So I got the bone in pork butts as planned. Don't have any local friends that have a vertical water smoker, and didn't think this was the time to learn how to manage an offset, so I went with two cooks. Planned on a cook Friday and Saturday, with service on Sunday. Bought pork Thursday, and my...

So sorry that I realized that I omitted a valuable bit of info in the original post. I have done cooks for 40 people multiple times. I will be cooking for 125 for this cook. Had a meeting with the church tonight and I get to pick my own butts from SAMs Club, so they will absolutely be bone in. I...

I have been cooking for my family and friends gatherings for some time now. My largest group that I have planned for is about 40 with pulled pork and sides. A mix of age and gender ranges. Church was asked me to cook for their summer kickoff, and while I am happy for the chance to fire up for...

I have just my daughter and I that cook for. I will usually grab a two pack from Sams Club and smoke them both. Mid to high heat (275-290). We eat it hot the day of the cook. I leave a portion or two out for the following meals. The rest gets put through the FoodSaver. I have found that I can...

My grill and my smoker are in use year round. No different than any other activity of daily living in blizzard country. Just shovel out an area to start the coals, and you are good to go!

I get the Sweet Baby Rays to doctor into my own. I am a KC BBQ girl, so the sweeter sauces are home for me. That being said, my family and friends do not recognize SBR as my BBQ unless it is doctored by my mix. Gotta have the heat to balance the sweet!

I am ordered to bring ABT's for Friday for "testing" for an upcoming party. I know they are awesome, and have reassured the girls for the party. I think they just want some good eating before the party. And believe that we will all be happy with the result!

Have fun with your new baby, Robert!

Thanks Jim! And glad to share the day of my birth with Mark. But your tag needs to be go Cowboys!!!!!

Need to upload pix of my kiddos dog. Had a springer spaniel that was a great dog, but earned her visit to the rainbow bridge. When the kiddo was 7 she picked a dog from the pet store. Bounced between a mini pin and a doxie. Picked out the doxie, who is confused. Mom was a mini longhaired black...

Thanks, all! Got things checked out, and other than a bit of a mess all seems good with the cooker. And the turkey was a hit at work, so alls well that ends well. And have another story for my learning my smoker file, lol!

The good news, my turkey turned out great! Took pix, and will post as soon as I upload them. The bad news is that a major storm arrived while cooling out the cooker, so I will not know the overall damage till tomorrow....put a priority on covering the WSM over inspection...weather went from 78...

I have been smoking with my 18.5" WSM for some time now, but I committed a major brain fart today. I am making a whole smoked turkey for a potluck, and went through my usual routine of refoiling my water pan and starting my chimney. I was interrupted many times by the neighbors and the kiddos...

And now off to smoke the loin on tuesday that I thawed in my fridge today. Thanks for the motivation!!

Very nice brisky! Makes me want to hit Sams to get some to cook up!!!

I have never done my ABT's HH or on a kettle. I find I get plenty of crisp on the edge of my top grate, with no water as well. Good eating!

I have had a few that seemed to stall forever! No real ideas why, but eventually they have become good or at least edible.

Sounds tasty to me...but I like my food hot!

I am Penzys *****, and more than willing to admit it. But with blends so good, I can't disagree. Good flavors and their bases are spot on as well!

I have few pix because I was not only scrambling with the various cook times. All pork turned out well.......both for the chili and the the freezer stock. The loin made for a tasty dinner as well. The crazy came from having a swimming lesson for the kiddo with a girl scouts meeting figured into...
