    Finally got QView working on my first butt smoke!

         Nice job ,  my only question is--can you taste the Maker's Mark?  Although I have done it, I hate to waste good sippin' whiskey in a brine or to spritz with.

    Mountain Man Breakfast

    I do pretty much the same except that I also use browned bacon chunks, country sausage,chunks of polish sausage.  If I ever have any leftover pulled pork, I might throw that in too. Canned green chilies or chpped jalapinos also add to it.
