Hey fellas. New here but wanted to share some pics of my July 3 smoke.
Wife and I were limited to home Independence Day weekend as our first baby was due at any moment. Since, it is a very special weekend and I love America, I still had to partake in some smoking festivities. Invited a few family members (about 8) and for some reason felt it was necessary to smoke 25lbs of meat 2 8lb butts and 9 lbs of St Lous ribs.
I knew it was going to be a long cook so decided last minute to get a Barbecue Guru DigiQ so I could get my beauty sleep. I put the butts on at 2:30 am, and they were finished at 4:30 pm in the afternoon. I set them in a cooler to rest for about 2 hours. The ribs, I put on around 12pm and they were done around 5pm.
I used a WSM with water in the pan, and some peach wood.
Considering I live in NJ, people were shocked by the food coming out of my smoker, and were thrilled with all of the leftovers I sent them home with.
Here are some pics.
Had to include the shot with the 1911 because 1) it was Americas birthday, and 2) I was sending the pic to an some Australians ;)
Hope you all enjoy the pics.
