A couple recent smokes

[doubles shooter]

I've had a busy summer and I'm trying to catch up. We did a group dinner for the July 4th weekend. The day before, I made 5 pounds of bacon candy for the gang.

I also spatched and smoked a couple chickens for pulled chicken sammies. I put the bacon candy on the shelves above the chicken so all that bacon, maple, brown sugar goodness basted the birds as they cooked.

The next day I made a few venison Moink balls, and venison burnt ends. The pizza peel is a handy tool to load/unload the goodies.

Burnt ends.

I pulled the chicken and put in into a crock pot with some chicken stock. It was great.

I also sauteed a cabbage, onion, tomato dish for one of the sides.

There were plenty of side dishes everyone brought along with 60 dozen clams. It was a feast for sure.

Last weekend, I did my first dino ribs. I scored two 4-1/2 pound packs of very meaty ribs for $2.99/pound.

Just salt, pepper, garlic. They were shake off the bone tender.

Everything looks great! I never thought of using a pizza peel to transport. I'll have to try that next time.

Awesome cooks! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could find some beef ribs like that around these parts.

Sixty (60) dozen clams.
Man, if those are hard shells I don't care if their littlenecks or chowders, that's a lot of clams.
But if they're softshells, that's not particularly a lot of Steamers for a bunch of hungry folks.

There were only 6 of us eating them. Cherrystones. Tender and tasty.

It was the first time in ten years I've seen them in the local store. probably be another 10 for more.

Tell me you six ate 120 Cherrystones each along with all that BBQ.

Serious gluttony going on there.
Wish I'd been part of that food orgy.
Making Romans proud.

Yes we did. It was great for sure. Not the best thing three days before a Dr.s visit for blood work. However the numbers were good.

Thanks to everyone for the points and likes.Happy smoking!
