BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Today's Smoke (Meat Edition)
- Thread starter Mossome
- Start date
Beef ribs are 2 hours in and getting some nice color. Let's add a couple racks of pork spares! And of course some nice trimmings that'll be done in a couple hours for me to snack on while we wait. All should be done in around 5 more hours. Guess I best put on some music, get a few beers, and have a smoke soon.
There is no better sight, brothers.

Another rack!
Smoked two pork shoulders the other night. Was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to gift them both on the top grate, as I haven’t ever had to rotate meat before. Managed to get them both on the top grate and everything turned out amazing.

Since poultry is so easy to overwhelm with strong smoke, I cheated and used the pellet smoker. 225 for 6.5 hours. Was a 14 pound bird.

Well fellas...I told the wife I would make the turkey this year, which for me means the only method of cooking i am truly good at- smoking. There are two unique circumstances that are merging to form a potential perfect storm of disaster:
1. Thanksgiving is, for my wife, an extraordinarily important and meaningful day beyond the scope of most folks I have ever known. She is a strict traditionalist on which foods are required, and the minimum acceptable quality thereof (she is a hell of a cook).
2. This is the first time I have ever smoked or otherwise cooked a turkey or any part of a turkey.
Here is the turkey brining hopefully in her bath, waiting to go on my smoker in the morning. Not gonna lie...I'm pretty skeered.
Yarr, wish me luck lads! Ahead there be stormy seas!
