Columbus day smoke

[smokin lou]

Well since I am Italian, I figured I would do a smoke today to honor Christopher Columbus.

Actually, that is just an excuse to fire the smoker up. Plan a few ABT's and Dutches baked beans. Butt went on at 5:30 am. Will try to get some Q-view up later.

Yeah, kinda funny, born and raised in New York, now smokin in the south. I even invented my own "Lou's Italian style Carolina Barbeque sauce".

 

[richtee]

I would be interested in that, me bein' a Carolina style fan. You must be kinda like me in the regard of sauces. All that dayumm sugar folks use...SHEESH! Heh.

So, if you'll not have to kill me if I know the recipe, mind sharing?

Well, it has a little sugar in it, but the vinegar offsets it.
