Baby backs, sweet spuds, pork butt & jalapenos

I really thunk long and hard about pulling out the 18.5" WSM but since I only had 1 rack of baby backs and a 7 pound butt I called forth the mini WSM again. I just can't stand empty smokers

I don't believe I've posted a pic of my restored SS Performer so here they are together. The galvanized tub makes for a great windscreen for WSMs and Dutch Ovens. Fuel is Royal Oak lump + hickory chunks.

Baby backs with some Blues Hog Tennessee Red, smoked jalapeno and smoked sweet potato. Beans are pintos cooked in a crock-pot overnight with more jalapenos.

After 5 hours at 240-275 the mini WSM still has half its original fuel left. These little suckers are so stinking efficient

Thanks Mark! They taste great but I'm surprised by the lack of bark.

After 8 hours the smoker temp fell to 205 (pork butt temp was 181 ) so I knocked the ash off the coals and added half of a small chimney of lit lump.

I ran the temps a little higher than normal so this is still very good efficiency for such a small fuel capacity.
 
Thanks all!
