    Big test this weekend for the BGE

    I'm in the UK right now and bought a BGE. I've got to do two pork butts, a brisket, 4 or 5 sets of ribs, and two chickens for a party on Monday. I did a trial run of ribs on Sunday.

    I am having my first go at making BBB. I am using the hi-mountain Bobby cure. I did this yesterday with a 2.5lb piece of pork loin.

    Brining shrimp

    Brought 10lbs. home from the Texas coast. Plan to smoke some for friends tommorrow night. Doing shell on, do you think they should be brined before smoking to help keep them moist. Boy do I like this MES, it makes it so easy to smoke stuff in the cooler weather we're having. It snowed...
