A whole weekend to myself!

[timstalltaletav]

The bride has her sister's bachelorette party this weekend. She just left so that means it's a whole weekend of me-time!

It's a beautiful day out so why not play two....

A pair of butts (16.32#) will keep the freezer full for a while.

While the WSM was warming up, the bacon I smoked in the MES overnight was done

Almost 12 hours in they hit 202° & 203° respectively. Since the cook was moving along pretty good I decided not to foil. The WSM ran pretty much in between 260-275°. I like cooking in that range to get things finished in a reasonable amount of time.

Butts are foiled for about a 2 hour nap.
