A Sea Of Red

tomorrow i pick up 16-18 pork butts and 6 briskets.

i will be smoking them tomorrow night for our church picnic.

i should have pics running throughout.

the pastor that is helping me decided to have some of his college kids come and help...not sure what will happen here...

i have my micah moo faux cowhide apron and i'm ready to go.

Are you putting that on here just to tease us?

no...whats to come will be what teases you...

Mallet, that is not nice...teasing us with your mad bbqing skills without actually giving us a taste at FF tailgates

i saw we kidnap him and make him bbq for the tailgates.....

We should fly him in for at least one game a year.

I'll bring the sweet tea and the grill- have to have that to bbq!

You can't even drive.

But he can carry it in his red wagon.

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

Talk about a let down of a thread.

And Mallet hasn't even posted pictures yet

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....

Thanks for rubbing it in, Malllet.

He didn't just rub it in.

He dry rubbed it in.

Good looking brisket ... what wood did you used to smoke them?

hickory....

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
