Not sure if it's somethign you need with a smoker, but Lowes has a infrared thermometer on sale for $10. Prices vary by location though. One place by me has it for $10, another for $20.

DAMN, thanks for the headsie, I will invest. I also ordered a used Digital bridge camera from B&H yesterday
that claims it's gonna be here tomorrow UPS ground. Let's hope so, I'd love to spend the weekend learning a
real camera. I will keep my pointnshoot, but have been leaning lately.

Interesting, I wonder if it's just a store manager or regional manager discression thing, possibly based on inventory. The last Home Labyrinth KF-blue loss-leader sale (Memorial Day) - they advertised it as the 16# bags in a twin-pack or BOGO, I forget which, at that price, but when I got to the store, they were selling the twin packs of 20# bags for $8.

And the butt just went on. Used a bit of bbq seasoning on the outside, as well as mixed in black pepper, a bit of cinnamon, and some brown sugar in with it to help with the flavor. All combined with the brine, im really hoping it turns out good.

Before some one states the obvious...

What was left after feeding the hoard...

jledou · 07-01-2011, 07:57 PM

2 racks of spare ribs and a turkey for the neighbors today. 2 pork butts on in the morning for Sunday's get together.

Ribs turned out nice.

Smokin Gator · 07-02-2011, 05:54 AM

Here's to good cooking this weekend folks!!!

forgop · 07-02-2011, 07:34 AM

Getting ready to start 2 butts and to 2 spare ribs and after the spares are done, it's time for 2 chickens and a pork loin roast to go fill up the top deck. If the butts are going to be on, I might as well make use of the space.

Chainsaw13 · 07-02-2011, 08:12 AM

Just picked up a small 3.75lb Berkshire pork shoulder roast that'll be going on Monday once it thaws and I'm back home. Along with that will be some Berkshire pork spare ribs I got a couple weeks back. Can't wait to try this pork.

Fordman4ever · 07-02-2011, 08:35 AM

Headed to the commissary now to pick up a pork butt and a brisket. who knows, maybe i'll try something new this time. I'll post pics through out the day.

OLS · 07-02-2011, 01:47 PM

O-HO-hahaha-hehe, I can't believe it, I DID IT AGAIN!!. And this time I had TWO chances to take photos,
once on ribs and once on my shoulders, hahaha. I cut the ribs up, gave half to the landlady, then foiled the
shoulders, coulda shot em then, then unfoiled em and crusted them up for the finish, coulda shot em then,
coulda shot em resting.....here is what I had by the time it dawned on me. Now to be perfectly honest,
my head is all the way up my a55 today with my new large format point and shoot camera, I am having
so much fun messing with it, cooking was almost a chore. But I got it all done. gonna shower and nap
now, cause I am poppin crackers tonight. And to be honest, I HAVE been taking good pics lately, if you
throw out the last to cooks.

jledou · 07-02-2011, 01:49 PM

Thanks for the reminder Brad, time to go check on the butts and snap a picture while I am at it!

Fordman4ever · 07-02-2011, 05:27 PM

heres what i started out the day with. chicken, chuck roast, and a pork butt.

here's three hours in.

I also smoked a cigar called Declaration. I thought it was fitting for this weekend.

Mattso3000 · 07-02-2011, 06:00 PM

Didn't get to break out the smoker today, but just got done with a 7lb prime rib on the rotisserie...damn that was good.

Fordman4ever · 07-02-2011, 06:01 PM

End result after 9 hours of cooking..... turned out great! made some pulled pork soft tacos that were killer.

jledou · 07-02-2011, 07:47 PM

Took the pork butts off a little while ago and put them up in the fridge for tomorrow. A picture from earlier with the sun trying to get in the way.
