    To me, the babies and kids are the highlight of my day.

    Birthday party time!

    My wife is having her 60th birthday so I invited her best friends. I'm doing 24+ lbs of pork sholder (pulled). Here's the menu. Appetizers; Pig shots, potato and tortilla chips, pimento cheese dip, taco dip, stuffed mushrooms, smoked salmon, veggie tray, grapes and watermelon. Main course...

    By Jove, I think I got it.

    I've yet to do GREAT ribs. Yours sound like Nirvana! I'll have to give them a try.

    Yup, tonight was a failed pork loin IMO.

    Don't tell my wife but I think I select better cuts than she does. When I pick them out they come out 4 of 5 star. Well, maybe 3-1/2. Hers are like 1-1/2 Maybe it's just me. I'll keep on trying, that's a given. Injecting is a possible but I'll take it a step at a time. THANKS ALL!

    I'm game, plus, I have another one in the freezer. It'll be a while before I get to though as I've got a 30# solder coming up next for my wife's birthday.

    Ok, I'll give it another try. Wet brine... How long do you think?

    Yup, tonight was a failed pork loin IMO.

    1.75# pork loin roast, 3 hrs at 225°F,. I brought the IT to 145°F. OD'ed! Kind of dry. Plenty is smoke flavor but I'll not do these again. I salted and rested on the counter for 75 minutes, then back in the fridge for 2 hours. Next I covered it with Jeff's original rub and from there it was...

    My wife's 60th - what to smoke???

    Yes, actually I do. But here in Wisc., Cheese is preferred - regarding smoked ;-) Why else would everyone call us cheese heads???

    My wife's 60th - what to smoke???

    Love It! Top it with whipped cream and drizzle with Carmel. (I'm bad).

    My wife's 60th - what to smoke???

    Help! I've got 40 adults. That I can do. I've also got 10 kids. Age 1 to 10. I'm thinking Smores over the Webber, or Extra large marshmallows. What else can I do?

    My wife's 60th - what to smoke???

    Whew, had me worried for a moment there. I had to go re-read my posts to see if spell check killed me AGAIN! RE her favorites... Pork beef and lamb. My kind of girl!

    My Daughters Engagement BBQ

    *...Slice and au jui and serve" Sounds like a winner to me. I'd forget the pot and add in a 6 pack - well, maybe 3. That way I'd remember the party and not over do the smoke.

    My wife's 60th - what to smoke???

    OK, it's my wife's 60th birthday. We're going to have 20-24 folks over (including kids, grand kids and GGK's). I'm thinking pork shoulder as pulled pork sliders (but I - just a me thing - WAY prefer beef brisket which I just happen to have a frozen 4# leftover). I'm also thinking Jeff's thick...

    ANOTHER first Brisket...

    Well, it turned out great. And everyone raved about it. Best of all it's half gone.

    ANOTHER first Brisket...

    Woke up at 3:30 am and just had to take a look. Good thing I did because the IT was at 208°F. I thought, Oh No - overdone shoe leather. I CAN'T BELIEVE it only took 9-1/2 hrs!!! I brought it in and checked it with a bamboo skewer and it was like a hot knife going through butter. I let it rest...

    ANOTHER first Brisket...

    9:30 pm, IT is 149 & 153, probes1&2. RE: checking too often (opening the door) - I doubt there is anyone with my patience on this site. The door won't open until it gets to at least 185°F, IT. RE: Stall, I'm staying up to midnight or 165 (whichever comes first) and then rapping it in butchers...
