right?! sounds good in my head

 

You ever going to bite the bullet and fix your WiFi issue?

 

Not going to happen, he'd have to give up half of his smokers and stash of coal/pellets.

 

I was think it’s why he is working all this OT. So hopefully he doesn’t have to take out a 2nd mortgage to finance the WiFi upgrade.

 

I'd have to give up my cup and can't bring myself to do that

she would take all just to spite me, not half

 

made some ribs over the weekend. First time doing ribs on the smoker so was a trial and error. We enjoyed them, smoked for 4hours then slathered it in sauce and threw back on. Could have let the sauce tighten up a little more but we got impatient and hungry and the ribs hit temp so we couldnt wait anymore. Never had any ribs fall off the bone like these did.

 

The most painful thing would be this...

 

Perfect representation there

 

18 hours in. 185 internal. Put in foil pan and covered for the last leg to catch some renderings. Barq is insane. Flaky though in spots but will mix in well.

 

Looking real good. I need to find some of them and some briskets in stock somewhere. Might do some smoked pizzas this weekend or next.

 

Hitting Costco later to see if any meat exists there. This was a deep freezer find.

Pizza sounds great too! I need to make some dough and try some pulled pork pizza soon.

 

We will probably do a couple normal topping ones and a brisket pizza if I can find brisket.

 

Misspoke earlier. That was 17 hours apparently. I can't math

Now it's done. 18h 15m total. Vented for a few then rewrapped and into cooler. Smell is off the charts good! Pepper for days.

 

Got some steaks on for their smoke portion of reverse sear. Hopefully about another 20 minutes or so of smoke then the temps get cranked up.



Steaks are done and been eaten. If it wasn’t so cold out I would have put them on to smoke a lot longer.

 

OK. blah blah blah... pics...













Hands down one of my best butts! Barq was insane. Shredded like soft butter by hand with lined gloves. The barq added some nice kick of flavor to the bite. Not spicy, but noticeable. The wife approved.

Next project... Tamales from this pork! Wish me luck!

 

Nice work. Looks really good.

 

WifeFi AND wife approved? Dang!!

Great job!!

 

My replacement RecTec is scheduled to arrive Wed. I've stayed away from this forum as I knew I couldn't stand the waiting....I was right. All these recent cooks look fantastic!

 

Thanks. Super happy.

Thanks. Win win!

Which one did you end up getting?
