Prime Ribeyes on the kettle on Friday. 2 briskets going on the WSM at 8pm Friday evening.
Scored a 14-cup Cuisinart food processor for cheap on Amazon--it makes the slaw a lot easier to make. Going out on a limb and attempting my first blackberry pie on Saturday.

I'll be smokin' and grillin' all day Friday and Saturday!
I'll be smoking up some pork shoulders, ATB's and stuffed poblano peppers! And the grills will be stuffed with burgers, dogs, kabobs and kielbasa/sausage.
...now let's just pray for SUN as it's been cloudy here in the NE for 3/4 of June (ugh).
Happy 4th all! Looking forward to seeing mucho WSM p0rn come next week!

Jim, the Safeway ad states "Pork Spare Ribs, Bone In, Frozen, Sold in 10lb Box $9.90"....something doesn't sound right???

I checked with the butcher at our local Vons (Safeway in Fresno) and he says that they aren't very good. They are from Australia, and lack meat as they are mostly fat. Heck who knows...

I wondered the same thing George, but knowing Larry, he won't have any problems consuming the usual amounts. Sure going to miss his ribs though, damn they're the best I have ever eaten.

Friday I've got a couple nice tri-tips to eat as a primer for the weekend. Saturday I'm cooking for a party of 50, chuck roast and turkey(s) which will be fun. Sunday i'm doing some spares for my brother since he will be in town and doesn't know what a good rib should taste like, nor that anything but baby backs even exist. If all goes according to plan, the WSM should scarcely get cold for about 3 days!
Going to be doing Butt over Briskett (yeah, I learned a new term). Every year my sister has a blow out 4th of July party. All day event with up to 200 people in and out.
We have five people competiting in an "informal" competition. This year its brisket. I'm a little worried as this is a new smoker (two cooks on it so far) and I've never done a brisket. Wish me luck!
To everyone on the boards, have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!

What a great story. We have a 3 year old daughter that is pure joy. I can't wait to cook for her and her friends as she grows. She already loves my grilling/bbq.
Any secrets you want to share for raising such a great child?
My advice is to get kids interested in reading as early as possible and never deny them any school activities. My kids always have liked to go to school which made it easy on us parents.

Sounds like it will be pulled pork and ribs for Friday. Going to see Lynyrd Skynyrd on the 4th!

My guess is no seasonings other than salt and pepper, lol.

It wasn't right. They were "Danish" spares? 3 racks to a box, and they were not very meaty at all. Worth a shot though - Safeway is only a half mile from my house. I'll be checking the ads tomorrow for the updates on the specials. I pass a Bloom, Wegman's, Giant, Shoppers and Safeway all on my way home from work. And HT is only a mile and a half from the house. There's bound to be a good sale somewhere this week.

That is one beautiful bird.
I found butts on sale today for 97 cents/lb at a local grocer. Got home expecting a huge hunk of fat to be hidden under neath. To my surprise they were trimmed up just the way I like them, I think I cut maybe a quarter pound of scrap off of 4 butts....Sorry, I'm just happy about my discovery and had to share.
Looks like 4 butts around 7 lbs each for an overnighter Friday/Saturday.
