I know....I'll get a ride from my aunt, parents, or friends. (I was just saying what I would bring if I came.)

the few pictures i took are at home on that computer.

i did 24 pork butts and 6 briskets....and only having 3 of us meant that there was little time for pictures.

and then when i did have a chance to take some pictures 1/3 of the way through, the camera's battery died. then when that was charged and i remembered it, the card was full. then i finally got it working around done time and we were in such a hurry i forgot about taking any more...

i made my own rub (lots of it), made about 3 gallons of sauce, and smoked 30 pieces of meat. it was quite exhausting.

then around 5 in the morning the rain poured down....it got frustratiing....we were expecting 250-300. only 150 showed up. there was 1 1/2 roasters still full of pork when most were done.....i brought zip locks and let people take that home...that was about 4 butts right there and i also had 2 briskets and about 10 butts still sitting in coolers in the back of my truck.

the pastors each took a butt home and a butt to each of my helpers and i put the rest in the churches deep freeze for our celebrate recovery program.. took a brisket and half a butt home for myself...

everyone that was there, loved it though....

He didn't just rub it in.

He dry rubbed it in.

Good call. Can you get mesquite up in the QCs?

yeah but I have a pile of year old oak/maple/cherry/hickory I've got to use up.

I don't use a lot of mesquite.

when I'm smoking pork I like maple/hickory
when I'm smoking beef I like oak/hickory
when I'm grilling pork I like apple/maple
when I'm grilling beef I like oak/orange/lemon
