    Big smoke next Saturday...

    I am taking the advice to do the brisket and pork ahead of time, so that will start early Friday morning. Tomorrow, I will rub them both and let them set. I'll write down and figure my timing in the morning with my coffee (best thinking time). I'm finding that having a printed out schedule keeps...

    Big smoke next Saturday...

    OK, my count is jumping higher. I have 42 firm now. I think I'm going to bump my bacon-wrapped chicken thighs to 30 (from 20). I'm picking the meat up tomorrow. I'll rub the brisket and the pork Thursday and let set until Friday morning. I'll start soaking the chicken thighs in buttermilk Friday...

    Big smoke next Saturday...

    No, it's the 24th, not last Saturday. Trust me, I'm a picture person. I will be updating as I go. I'm going to take your advice and do my brisket and pork butt Friday. I am intrigued by the finishing sauce and am lining up my chafing dishes and ice bowls to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold...

    Big smoke next Saturday...

    Wow, thanks!!! This will also allow me to be fresher for the party. Being up all night, then having a large party tends to take its toll on me. I'll call my butcher shop and have them get my meat a day earlier. Thanks a bunch!

    didn't think about doing the brisket and butt ahead of time. That doesn't take away from the taste?

    great suggestions! My sister (across the street) has chafing dishings, so I will definitely be borrowing. I love the idea of the jello shots and sangria. And the use of the cloths instead of napkins - brilliant! All great suggestions! I am taking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off - the meal is...

    Hello from Ohio

    Youngstown, Ohio.  Actually, a small suburb called Liberty Township. Loving this craft and looking forward to perfecting it.Plus, the extra benefit of having my husband brag about the brisket! Now if I can only perfect the ribs.

    Big smoke next Saturday...

    I am planning a big smoke for a bunch of people coming for a 'tech' session for our Valkyrie Motorcycles.  I did a smaller version of this last year when I first got my custom-made reverse smoker.  Now I have people coming in from out of state and I want it to be exceptional.  Here is my planned...

    Hello from Ohio

    I'm new to the forum but not to the website or Facebook page. I have a homemade reverse flow smoker and I mainly use wood to smoke but I start it with charcoal. I have a big smoke coming up so it's time for me to join the forum and read what others have done. Nice to meet all of you!

    Ohio BBQ

    I'm in Ohio too-near Youngstown. There is a restaurant in Ashtabula called Brickets that really inspired me. I'm new to the forum (roll call coming soon) but have been smoking for over a year.
