Been working on a batch of Buckboard Bacon over the last 9 days. Smoked it last night and sliced this morning. I will fry some up tomorrow. So much better than store bought bacon. YUM!!

Hmm... I may have to give this a try. I can always go for more bacon.

I already do my own belly bacon, but never with pork butt. It can sometimes be hit or miss whether I can find whole belly at the local Costco.
 
This thing showed up at my front door yesterday. I told the delivery guy he had the wrong address... wrongo. Bday present from my bros. So cool!

I'm jealous! I bought a 22" with the stand and lid to use for camping probably 6+ years ago. I love it! But I would love some more real estate to cook on . And you got the exact model I want. That's all I need. LOL! I didn't realize it held storage bins underneath.

Nice! My wife gave me one for my birthday this year. I posted about it as I was trying to decide gasser vs Blackstone to replace my Traeger, to go along my pair of big & little Kamado Joes.

Trying to decide tonight whether to cook some carne asada on this or the Big Joe. I'm thinking that the Blackstone might be preferable.

I froze a couple of ribeyes this weekend, then used a meat slicer to shave them thin. So, cheesesteaks are on the menu later in the week. This thing is pretty slick. I've made a bunch of stuff on it already.

It doesn't come with those bins. Blackstone does sell them ($55 each). Or you can go to Home Depot and get the HDX Tote 7 gallon for $7. Your call :)
 
Got a new (to me) 22" Weber kettle that my brother got me from Facebook marketplace for $10!! Heckuva deal and a few patient hours of cleaning has me ready to break it in this weekend. 8# pork butt is thawed and ready 🤩 it's parked next to my 18" kettle

Smoked this piggy for 16 hours, best one we've done so far, 8th annual pigroast. We've done a few for some friends as well. Pic of final product and a before pic for size. I'm 6foot 195, he was 200. Blurred my shirt as to keep the politics out of it, and yes that's in my master bathtub.

I can hear my wife yelling now. I don’t think she’d be cool w a whole pig in our tub.

Looks delicious!
 
Haha, it was fantastic. My wife took that picture actually. But yes I was on immediate clean up duty once we moved it to the smoker. We usually use a galvanized trough and cover it with ice in that but it was occupied and I didn't feel like buying another one. My buddy almost dropped it on our bedroom carpet (off white) when we carried it outside, if that had happened I'd be posting this in the don't do that thread.
 
The Cuz did a SRF brisket for us yesterday. It was very good. But, he and I both concluded the quite-a-bit-higher price wasn't really worth it over what we've been able to get from local store or Costco.
I was thinking the same thing regarding the exorbinant prices from the online butcher's. I'll make a select cut sing at $40 vs a Black Waygu for $150
 
I like how cherry wood makes poultry look, so tomorrow I'm going to try making a chicken with apple wood pellets, but a few chunks of cherry in the solid fuel drawer. Wonder if it'll take on that cherry look?
