Good morning all, set the clock for 4:30, woke up at 4:15 so I got up.

First order of business (Start Coffee) , then I pulled out everything I am smoking to take a picture. Everything back in fridge. except for the Brisket and Pork shoulder.

Started getting my smoker ready. I had a partial bag of lump left still have a few splits of hickory and picked up some pecan yesterday from #2 son. Hooked up my trusty weed burner and started the charcoal. Also went over my racks and inside the CC to help get it up to temp quicker and get rid of anything that may have been left from last time, brushed down the racks and went to get the meat ready.

Full packer Brisket about 12# and a 9# pork shoulder;

Trimmed up the brisket, rubbed it down with a little EVOO then salt and course ground black pepper.

Shoulder was rinsed, rubbed down with a little yellow mustard and my BBQ rub

Both on the smoker at 5:30   What can I say, I'm old and getting slower

It is now 6:10 and getting light, I'll post a couple on the smoker 

Here are some pictures I have so far

Brisket, Pork shoulder, St Louis ribs, Boudin, 2 packages Country style ribs and 4 packages of Kielbasa Sausage

Settings on my FB door for now, getting ready to dampen back a bit


Nothing but Thin Blue Smoke


 My smoker is straight out the patio door, so I can sit in my recliner, drink my coffee, post on SMF and watch my temp gauge

Later 
 
Awesome Start, Gary!!!

Two hours in, added another split and a couple scoops of lump. Spritzed both with 50/50 mix Apple Juice & Apple Cider Vinegar  Back to my recliner and working on second pot of coffee.

 
Love the thread Gary!  I felt like I was there from the words and pics as I sat here sipping my coffee.  Could even smell the smoke.  Inspired me to put my shopping list together for today (busy week), including Tri Tips for my wife, Brisket for me, another batch of Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans for both of us.  Thanks for the wakeup read! 
 
You are welcome, always a good day when you have a smoker full of meat and a lot of good friends to post pictures and visit with.

Have a great weekend
