Hey all,
Welcome to my second cook log on the forum. I’m doing the 2nd annual Staff appreciation BBQ for my store. By nature we are all a bunch of computer geeks, but we love good food! I’m not sure how many people will be showing, but I’m cooking for an army. I’ll keep this post updated through out the cook.
I’ll be doing 2 12lbs briskets, 8 racks of ribs, 2 boneless legs of lamb, about 6lbs of chicken wings, a huge batch of smoked beans, roasted potatoes, and a Greek salad. Like I said enough to feed an army, lol…
Here is the meat all laid out ready to be rubbed and prepped,
I thought I’d have some trimming to do on the Brisket, put nope my butcher rocks and have it done perfectly for me! So it’s straight to rub!
I was going to wait a few hours before getting the smoker ready, but decided to start early. It’s a good thing I did, I guess no one cleaned it after my last cook and there was a bunch of mold in there ? No worries though, the wife and kids are gone on a trip, so the whole thing went in the bath tub for a scrub, lol… Sorry no pic’s but it did make one heck of a mess. After everything was washed off I fired up the smoker and the grill to dry everything off. Then the brisket’s went on!
That’s about it for now; the smoker is coming up to temp as we speak. See ya at the next update!
