Burn Ban Lifted! =)

jpenny2525 · Oct 2, 2011

The burn ban was lifted earlier this week so I fired up my Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker and had an awesome dinner last night! Battery was dead on the camera so no pre-prep pics, but I do have the end results.

Two whole chickens 225 for 3.5 hours

I decided to do pull chicken and it was falling of the bone juicy! This is only one of the two chickens.

One of the slab of ribs. cooked 225 for 5 hours. I decided not to do the 3-2-1 method, Just sprayed it down with apple juice one every hour.

Here's one with it cut up. It didn't last long, but I have a 2ND slab for today's lunch!

All plated up wit some potato salad, and corn casserole, Dang almost forgot the sauce, but once that is done there's no pics cause I will be eating!

The next two pictures came out blurry. 7.5lbs pork butt that will be devourer today's lunch! Cooked it at 225 for 14 hours. This pic was before I had foiled and placed in the cooler for 4 hours. I had to again explain to the wife it isn't burnt...

It's called a bark and has tons of flavor!

All pulled, bagged, and ready to the next meal!

And this conclude my presentation of a man who longed to use his smoker for an entire summer!

I saw a recipe I wanted to try, but was missing some of the ingredients and decided to just to wing it. This is what I came up with...

1 lb bag frozen corn thawed, 1 large pear peeled/diced up, 1/2 small onion, 1/2 stick of butter, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup of mexican blend cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. I cooked it at 350 for 30mins. I then put some Italian seasoned bread crumbs on top and back into the oven until the crumbs are brown and toasty (around 15mins or so).

Every time I brought in something she kept saying it looks burnt, and every time I kept telling her that's just bark/flavor... It's funny for as long as I have been cooking its the same thing... maybe I should tell her it is nasty and burnt and I am willing to save the family and eat it all myself!

I wanted to add a little bell pepper to the mix, but the one I had didn't look so hot. I will add the wife thought the pear was a poato and I said nothing until she gave me the thumbs up!

miamirick · Oct 2, 2011

are you serious? a burn ban means you cant use the smoker thats just not right i thibnk i would fight that one

the food looks great by the way

alblancher · Oct 2, 2011

Yea, that's a serious burn ban. Next thing you know they'll give you a ticket for smoking a coffin nail!

But, the food looks great, you didn't forget a thing!

ptcruiserguy · Oct 2, 2011

Excellent looking meal.

Burn ban??, Didn't know smoking was considered burning?

SmokinAl · Oct 2, 2011

Awesome looking Q!

I didn't know a burn ban was for smoking either.

We have burn bans here all the time, but I keep on smoking.

jpenny2525 · Oct 2, 2011

Yeah, we have had a Governor's ban for a LONG time. It just mean I have to have the smoker on a 10X10 pad which I don't, but hope to have one down in the near future! For the last week we are under county ban which means no open flames! =)

SmokinAl · Oct 2, 2011

Where are you located?

coyote1 · Oct 2, 2011

you should feed the neighbors so they don't turn you in and when the man comes to give you the ticket feed him to

Burn Ban Lifted! =)
