And on it will be going a 12 pound butt, 2 chicken halves, about 6 leg quarters, and a threreabouts 20oz porterhouse ( all at different times, dontcha' know ). Oh, and a nice pan of a chickpea-black bean thang' I do.

And speaking of getting " fired up " I'd like to, but it's gonna' be a LONG night, and an early morning. And it's about 100 degrees out back. Gotta' maintain.

Q-view to come.............

LOL...I heard that on the "getting fired up" part! I have the urging to but like you I've got a long night ahead with a butt I'm throwing on later tonight.  Have a great smoke and we'll check back for that Qview!

Well, here's the 12 pounder after 3 hours ( about 3 hours ago ). Since then, the chicken is on, and the butt is in a nice, long stall at 143.

I'll get the finished products up to take a gander at whenever this marathon is over !

That looks great - I haven't got to a bark like that, but that is my favorite part of what I used to have to BUY, but now get to TRY :) -   Happy Eating!

Thanks for the kind words, fellas. It came out great. My only miss was not doin' two of 'em ( those sammiches were pretty popular ).

The ironic thing is that when I was doing this smoke ( for the time I put in, I almost could have done a suckling pig ), the National Capital Barbecue Battle was going on downtown ( about 30 minutes from here ). Well, MAYBE next year I'll come up with the $375 to enter, and throw my goods in the pit !
