My son who graduated high school last weekend

Said "Dad, I want to cook something on the big (18") smoker this weekend." I said OK, let me see what I can get

These looked like a good option for his first cook

Figured they needed a bath: Apple Juice, Fresh Squeezed Lemon, Brown Sugar, ground salt & pepper

To be flipped at bed time and onto the cooker around noon tomorrow for a no foil cook

My son can cook, but he's never been in BBQ or Smoking, but he's finally coming around to it :cool:
 
After about a 12 hour bath, time for some rub. My son Colt, who we've called Bubba all his life, is putting on the Bubba-Rub

And his job now, is to keep an eye on these two guys, and baste at each hour mark

I haven't told him the hard part yet. And that when the bone shows, to apply the Sweet Baby Ray's thinly, but quickly so the pitt doesn't go off the charts hot. A true test if there ever was one
 
Two hours and looking good. I might keep this kid. Oh wait, he starts college, never mind anyone who wants him, can have him

3 hours and the meat is starting to pull back, get close to Sweet Baby Ray's time. Don't tell my son, but this is where it gets tough

Looks like he has been watching the pro. He's got a great tutor! Nice job. I like to see these posts where the torch is passed.
