Every year for my birthday I usually smoke up a whole bunch of stuff and invite the family and friends over. I get to play with the smoker and drink beer all day. This year my birthday was on a Tuesday so it got pushed to this past weekend.
Menu:
Pulled pork
Pulled chuck
Slaw
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Gary's Beans
Smoked Pepper Bacon Cheese Corn
ABTs
Stuffed Mushroom Caps
Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
Banana Pudding
Meat getting ready for some rub. 2 8.5 lb butts and a 5lb chuck.
All rubbed down. Butts were rubbed in Jeffs original and Chuck in thick worchestershire, monteal steak seasoning, and miners mix XXX garlic.
Put these in around midnight at 250 using char-hickory pellets. Looking good the next morning.
Mixed up a batch of cider vinegar buttermilk slaw.
Roma Tomato's, Cucumbers, Sliced Red Onions, and Feta Cheese.
Add some chopped cilantro on top.
Mix in the dressing and let it chill in the fridge for a little while.
Beans ready to go in the smoker.
Pepper Bacon Cheese Corn ready for the smoker.
Pulled chuck at 208 and butts at 204. Foiled wrapped and in the cooler. Beans/Corn rolling along.
Mixed up a batch of loaded baked potato salad.
Some of the Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs. A few got snatched up before I could get the picture.
Banana Pudding done and ready to go in the fridge. Yeah credit to Paula D on that one haha.
Watching the TBS and enjoying a cold one.
ABTS and stuffed mushrooms done. 2 hours at 250.
Chuck out of the cooler and ready to pull. Dump the juices in a cup. Skim the fat off the top and dump the juices back over the pulled meat.
One of the butts. Pulled the second one after the party. Pictures make it look dull but tasted a lot better than it looked.
Beans and Corn out of the smoke.
I had a really nice plated shot and my daughter was playing with my phone and deleted it. So this is the only one I got of a to-go plate my BIL took with him. In-laws brought some regular deviled eggs, sausage balls, and pasta salad to go along with everything.
Sorry was a little heavy on the pictures this go around except for the end. Pretty sure everyone was in a deep food coma after this one. It took everything we had to put the leftovers in the fridge for the night. Was a great late birthday and a long but fun smoke. Thanks for checking it out!
