Ok everyone. It's getting close. Right now the tentative date for the gathering is June 20-21. It will be in Rockford Ia. It's a little town about 20mls SE of Mason City. Nice little campground on the river. Everyone is welcome!!!!
After seeing Steve's (Walking Dude) pickled sausage thread here last week, I knew I had to make this. Talk about easy to make. The longest part of the whole thing was boiling the water. I used the lit'l smokies sausage, anaheim and yellow bell peppers, and green and regular onions.

Not that kind! Started this 8* butt at 5 AM. After 12 hrs I'm at 170. This is the longest butt I've done so far. Made some of Dutches beans, sweet slaw, and an acorn squash and some peppers I got from work. I think they are Anaheims. About 6" long. Taste like a bell pepper. Wasn't planning on...
Wasn't planning on smoking anything today. Took a butt out of the freezer for this weekend, but nothin else was thawed out except these. Johnsonville sausage and cheddar cheese. Wanted to try out the gosm that I picked up this morn. It works great! Anyway here they are, smoked at 226 for about...
Sunday I was smoking some mini meat loafs on my electric and the element took a dump on me. So got to thinkin about maybe converting it over to gas. I like the little thing because it is double walled and holds the heat. Took today off and decided nope, I'll just swap and get a new one. Took it...
35 mph winds, 52 deg, rain. What to do? Use the ecb! The SnP is too wide open so I put the ecb in a sheltered area by the garage. My wife wanted the mini meat loafs again, no argument here. So, along with those we had some of my sweet slaw, smoked potatoes, and some baked zucchini. That 10* zuke...
Got some more zucchini from work yesterday. This one was almost 10*. The smaller ones I'll stuff some and slice some. But this one I'm not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions?
We've always done zucchini in boats. This time I cut them into slices. Put olive oil, coarse pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and the slices into a zipock bag. Mixed it all up real good and in the fridge for about 4 hrs. Did some up with the ribs. The rest I put on the ecb. I...
Smoked up some spare ribs today. Made some of my sweet slaw, cucumber salad, and some zucchini. Also but some zucchini on the ecb and grilled them. I'll put that on a diff thread. Was a good meal to end a perfect day.
the meal
Made a big batch of Dutch's beans for our ABATE picnic this noon. Got them done and put them all in the slow cooker. Didn't leave any out for us tonight at home. Figured we would be bringing some home. Well we get there and 3 other people brought batches of beans. I'm thinkin, oh yeah, we're...
A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane..
After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, 'Is it still arequirement of your faith that you not eat pork?'
The rabbi responded, 'Yes, that isstill one of our laws.'
The priest then asked, 'Have you evereaten...
Got a deal on spares the other day. $25.99 for 25lbs. Wasn't too sure how they would taste. Turned out great. Nice flavor to them. Used hickory at about 225-230. Did them 3-2-.5. Glad I bought these.
Plated up
Close up
Picked up an ecb this aft. Kinda wanted a smoker we can take on road trips. This seams to fit the bill. Plans for tomorrow got changed so I'll get it seasoned and throw some ribs on it to see how it works. For $28, figured I couldn't go wrong.
The family
Went to Hy-Vee and bought the box of spares. Got them home and they weren't too bad. 12-13? full racks. Most were pretty meaty. A couple were a little on the thin and fatty side. Got them cut in half so they would fit in the freezer and sealed. Left a couple bags for Sun. I think we're set for a...
After seeing Walking Dudes mini meat loafs the other day, I just had to give them a try. So, here they are. Smoked them between 220-225 for 1 1/2 hrs. All I can find in town is hickory, so that is what I used. Talk about moist little things. And very tasty too! Also made up some cucumber salad...
Smothered the butt with mustard and rubbed last night. Got it on the smoker at 4 this morn. Used all hickory this time. Temps ran between 225-230 most of the time. Foiled it at 160 and took it off at 200 and in the cooler at 200* It was a very moist, tender and tasty butt. I really like doing...
Had a friend call last night to tell me about a city council meeting we need to go to. Asked me what I was doing, said I was rubbing my butt. You WHAT!? Well, this morning, sittin outside finishing off a pot of coffee while the butt cooks, got to thinking about what I said last night. You know...
