Well, my daughter is getting ready to go to her first, week-long, girlscout camp. The wife and I are happy that she wanted to go for the week, but we are also very concerned that we will miss her soooo much. She goes on Sunday, so we are having a family gathering on Saturday evening with both sets of grandparents to "send her off", although it may be more of them getting a good "fix" of her to last them the week!!
That being said, I wanted it to be special, so I am smoking a couple of butts to have some fine pulled pork sandwiches. This will be my second go-round at smoking a butt. I plan to start Saturday morning about 7am by firing up the grill and then I will be off an running.
I will be posting periodic Q-View here of the progress, but to get started I wanted to fill everyone in on my "gear". I use a Chargriller with the side fire box. I have done some mods to it. As you will see, I have extended the chimney, turned over the charcoal tray that came with it to act as a baffle, built a charcoal "container" to allow for easier access to dump ash and I have abandoned the original thermometer and added one to the far end of the "belly" opposite of the firebox at grate level. Here are the pics.
More to come!!
