I am doing some ribs...gotta have pork on New Years Day!  Also...doing some Pastrami using Roadkill Cafe's recipe.  They are in Big Poppa happily smoking along in the rain!  Here are some pics! Posted this in the Beef...cuz I really wanted to try pastrami for my Daughter's 21ist birthday.

Everything looks great. I had pork in everything I made yesterday. I seasoned the cabbage with andouille I had made the night before, I had a couple smoked boston butt bones in the black eyes, and homemade canadian bacon sammiches.

Looks awesome!  Hey, you gotta have a big slab of fat back in the beans.  Ain't worth eatn if they don't.  :-)

I wonder if you can smoke pintos?

Our son brings a friend over every time we smoke.   He keep my computers running when I foul them up.  I think he really comes just to eat.  :-)

Your spread looks awesome!

Wes

Looks great!

I had a big ole plate of Hoppin John for New Year's.

Sure hope it brings me lots of luck.

It was great either way.

I enjoy the old traditions.

Good luck and good smoking.
