Butts, Ribs and ABTs for me (pics to follow). I'll probably get started around 12 AM. What does everyone have planned???
 
Silly ol' me was planning on burgers and dogs. Then got a request for Phil-B-Q. Okay. If you insist!

Pork Butt going on this afternoon for eating this weekend and restocking freezer.

Roadside Chicken for Saturday.

Brisket for Sunday. Going to experiment with 2 or 3 rubs on trimmed flats. Might marinade one. Won't know for sure until I trim the packer later today.
 
Good question. It'll be multiple courses, that much I'm sure of (it's my favorite way to eat) but I don't know what I'll do. I'll be at the Okla house (where I have only a kettle) and the <STRIKE>meat</STRIKE> food selection is abysmal in Shawnee... . I do have a rack of lamb in the freezer I got elsewhere so might go that route. But I'll likely do what I usually do: see what the best produce available is, purchase that then figure out what I'm doing with it, then decide on the protein based on that.

Haha, I like that! I actually just got my WSM 18.5" in the mail the other day. Still need to assemble and them am gonna break it in this weekend. Not sure with what yet. Perhaps some whole chickens and then some salmon.

Thanks
 
Well I was planning on hitting up the Sam's club on the way home from work and see what they got there. I really want to do a HH brisket (my first) but it sounds like we won't have much company over Sat like we thought. Guess I'll just have to feel it out.

Question, has anybody found tri-tips at a sams club (im in midwest)?

Dunno. Never shopped at Sam's. But where are you specifically? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

In Nebraska
 
Was just there. Big Spring through Omaha and out, on the way out of Vegas. Bummer. I've got two with me I'm not needing anytime soon.

Unfortunately you have no Trader Joe's there. I don't shop at Costco either but several members here have reported finding them there, if you have a membership.

Yeah they announced that they are building a Trader Joe's here in Omaha, I don't know when that will be though.

Well I'll just have to see what they have at Sams. What horrible decisions to have to make

Not officially the 4th, since I'm bbqing Monday instead of Sunday, but I'm gonna smoke nine slabs of spares on my little wsm.

I'm gonna probably trim five of the nine racks, with 4.5 slabs of the untrimmed ones on the bottom. I'll rub with some Blues hog, and my own recipe when that runs out, saucing some with reg. Blues Hog, some with Head Country, and some with SBR w/ honey.

I'm doing a pretty standard (foiless) cook, but cooking around 275, a little hotter than I normally do. I'm sure it will take a good bit less than the usual 7, but then again, the cooker will be filled to the max. with pretty decent sized spares that started untrimmed at about four pounds a slab.

Anybody got a guess how long my cook might take?

Thanks if you have an educated guess!
Dave
 
Smoking up a 9.14# and 7.52# butt and one rack of ribs @ 4.31#. Probably have some cole slaw baked beans and homemade peach cobbler for desert. Oh, and a lot of beer.
