8th Birthday Party Smoke

[SmokinVOLfan]

Daughter's birthday was last week. Since we didn't get to have a party last year due to covid concerns thought we would try to make this one extra special.

Huge blow up water slide. Kids and dog doing the pre-party inspection.

Now to the food. Made 6 homemade sauces to go along with everything. Wife had to write the labels. Said my handwriting is not legible.

Two 8ish pound butts. Rolled 4 hours in the propane running hickory chunks then panned and into the electric uncovered overnight. Not in a hurry so I let them roll at 225. 20 hours.

Two turkey breasts. 300 using hickory.

4 lb bologna chub. Scored, covered in yellow mustard, and Jeff's rub. 4 hours around 250ish.

5 racks of spare's.

Full roaster pan of pulled pork. De-fatted the black gold, warmed up, and mixed back into the pulled meat.

Full pan of ribs. Tender as all get out.

Sliced bologna. Forgot to get a picture of the sliced turkey.

Full size pan of 4 cheese mac and cheese.

Full size pan of smoked beans. 6 hours around 250. Sorry for the blur. Beers must have kicked in.

Full pan of buttermilk vinegar slaw.

Ribs got smashed before I could even grab one but I got a nice plate anyways.

Everyone said they enjoyed it and my daughter had a great birthday so I would say it was a success. Thanks for checking it out.

The daughter had a great day thanks Ryan! The kids had a ball on the slide. Would have love to hit that slide but was doing my 12oz curl workouts. Didn't want to interrupt the fun.
