Saturday Cook

[Toby Keil]

This past Saturday I smoked 2 x 5lb butts, some bacon wrapped chicken livers & a fatty. I smoked the butts then pulled the meat and divided it into separate bags for freezing, with gas prices the way they are I figure I can use the meat and make sandwiches at work. Sorry I forgot to take pics of the pulled meat. The bacon wrapped chicken livers turned out good but instead of spraying with apple juice, I’ll try something a little sweeter next time. This was my first time trying this and my wife and 12 year old son loved thought they were great but daughter wouldn't get near them. Basically they were remake minus the water chestnut. The fatty was of course as good as they always are. Here are some pictures of the smoke.

We Californian's think alike, I too smoked a couple butts on Sat for future dinners/lunches...$20 for multiple family meals is certainly a good deal.

And the flavor can't be beat.

Great job on the feast. Do the butts take longer when cooking on the lower grate opposed to the upper grate? Just curious...
