Wifey had to wake up at 4:45 to make sure school was canceled today, so I got up and started making smoke.

Here's the boys under the deck awaiting the bulk of the storm.

Wifey is up, school is canceled, and she wants a 7AM Mimosa. Can't she see I'm busy tending to the pit temps???

It was a learning experience running in the winter wind, but other than burning through a lot of Stubbs, I was pleased.

Tried something different - didn't wrap with foil/towel/let rest a couple hours. Just rested on the counter 30 minutes.
Me thinks I'll go back to foilin' & wrappin'

No plated pics, cuz, there really wasn't any. I was eetin' while choppin' :cool:
Wifey normally likes some sweet sauce on her meat, but tonight all she wanted was a bowl of pork - as is. THAT was epic!
.
As for the snow - pretty much a bust here at home. Head an hour or so away and they got 16"ish. I'm happy with next to nuthin.

More in the next post. :D
 
Since I had more $$$ in charcoal than meat in the :wsm:, I raided the fridge to see what was available.
Here's a good start! Basket of seasonings is mine for the grills and not for general kitchen use. lol
(PS - empty wine bottles are for a pinterest inspired craft thing for a friend - she asked me to save them)

Little dip in the pit temp, but it was time to pull the meatloaf and give the coals a little breath of fresh air.

THIS is the reason there wasn't any plated pulled pork pics. :D

I am laughing out loud! Reading you script, looking @ the pictures, and seeing the results, I do believe its a WINNER! Now, Save enough for a meat loaf sandwich.;)
 
Nicely done, Chad. I was kicking myself for not planning properly and having a butt to cook yesterday. We did burgers instead.
 
Boy, that's a hard knock life there, Chad :rolleyes:! Great pics, good looking chow, nice way to spend a snow day.
 
Awesome post, Chad! Looks like a great way so spend a snow day. Thanks for sharing the pics of all the hard work you did!!:)
 
Thanks fellas! Since getting the WSM, wifey has been the envy of the break room at school re-heating her lunches.
I learned a lot from this forum and probably wouldn't have the success I do without y'alls influence & guidance. :D
