You are the man! I wish my smoker was hot now.

 

[jeepinjeepin]

Small batch. Only felt like opening 1 pack of bacon.

 

[jeepinjeepin]

Smokey smokey. We have 5 briskets, 5 shoulders, 3 butts, and some ABTs going right now. More ABTs and smoking some Mac and cheese tomorrow.

Picked up a 13lb brisket today. First brisket in the WSM. I can't wait to fire it up.

until I found that I'm now working the weekend (through tuesday night, actually) I was planning on smoking 10LB pork shoulder (12hrs slow-smoke -this stuff practically pulls itself apart for your dining pleasure) -I'll have to up some pix of my backyard smoker sometime. It can accomodate 8 full racks of ribs (and has before) and a brace of sausages when the need arises. Its fired by oak and hickory, and I use orange wood to help regulate the temps.
I'm intending on starting to build a second firebox on the side, piping the smoke to the main firebox where it will flow to the smoke chamber -the idea is to add cold-smoking capabilities.

Pork still cooking. Brisket for Lunch.

 

[Airborneguy]

Not smokin', but I'm roasting a pig today, the first of our bi-annual parties. Hmmmmmm!!

 

[thataintchicken]

Off work this weekend ( to save labor hours ) so I'll be putting something on the smoker here at home.
I'm thinking a nice Brisket, and if I can find some casings at a good price - some homemade sausages.

 

[ClassicXJ]

It's 1AM and I just fired up the WSM and threw on a 13lb brisket. Now I'm in the chair,watching swamp people and enjoying a glass of scotch. Life is good!!

 

[lumpher]

i'll be putting a brisket on tomorrow

 

[CHefJohnboyardee]

i just burned out the liner on a drum for a WTS, does that count? there was smoke and some of the wood was hickory...

 

[AnonyBrew]

Smoked a Pork Butt yesterday. Didn't want to be anchored to the smoker all day so I gave it 3 hrs on hickory in the morning & then stuck it in the oven at 225F all day with a large pan of water under it.

My Dad gave me his Brinkmann smoker for this weekend, So I've got a nice 225* charcoal/hickory fire going now, 3 racks of St. Louis style ribs went on at 10 (Gonna try the 3-2-1 method) and 2 brined/dry-rubbed whole chickens are going on at noon. Never smoked anything before, I have a feeling it's going to be a while before I give the smoker back, if ever!

Soper told me if I didnt update the thread i was a jerk... 8 Racks of ribs almost 30lbs. light on the rub since these are memphis style wet ribs. 6 hours at 225 on the WSM. Switched top and bottom rack every hour.

There was smoke yesterday but only from the fat hitting the propane burner. I think I earned my street cred on Friday night and Saturday.

 

[MyNameIsPaul]

Am I supposed to flip these ribs at some point?

 

[RedHouse]

Probably too late....but no need to flip the ribs.

Baby backs and chicken leg quarters on the drum right now.

 

[Daddymem]

Smoked up a venzin roast in mesquite chips and sangria steam.

 

[thataintchicken]

Went with plan B&C -- Beef Ribs and Chicken.
Using the Weber Kettle this time. I wanted to do a brisket, but alas, fate would have me do otherwise.

 

[passedpawn]

2 5# pork shoulders, smoked over hickory. Pulled, sauced, eaten.

Happy memorial day smokers.

Am I supposed to flip these ribs at some point?

I use a rib rack... no flipping, you can get lots of ribs on the grill when they are vertical

 

[Battery_BreweryNJ]

Just finished smoking a Brisket w/ Texas style dry rub, smoked with cherry wood. Happy Memorial Day!

 

[SwampassJ]

Grilled a few racks and smoked a few over pecan wood. Grilled where bland and dried, smoked are fantastic. Tried a new rub, next time I need less salt and a little more paprika.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Are you doing the whole sholder or just the butt or picnic? I have never seen anybody fit a whole sholder on a 18.5" WSM. Maybe you have the 22.5" model.

Oh no, sorry just the butts. Man we ate good the entire time we were there. Between the beer and the food we had a great time.

Heres a shot of the butt with the brisket underneath. Simply Marvelous Pecan rub with Kingsford original and Pecan for smoke.

 

[ClassicXJ]

Had a great weekend. My first brisket came out awesome. I separated the point and flat because I couldn't fit the 13 lb whole thing on one rack on my 18.5 WSM. Both came out great and everyone (including my wife who said she didn't like brisket) loved it. Between the food, the company and the homebrew it was a great weekend.

And a tip. Brisket hash the next morning is awesome. I found the recipe in smoke and spice.
