It's too hard to be on this site when I cannot get to my smoker. I will be BBQing vicariously through you, so let's stick with what's on your table than the Irish cream. Just doing a big smoke (I usually smoke for my wife and I or a friend or two) to crown the new smoker or expecting some big appetites? Also, what wood and what is magic dust?

Good luck! Enjoy your day!

Mr. Lederman,

I promise there will be no alcohol consumption, resulting in mediocre Q.....until at least noon :)  

Things are cruising right along.  The pit is keeping a good steady temp of about 250 with minimal maintenance.  I'm just adding a small split every 45 minutes or so.  The temps here in Illinois are still a little chilly this morning.  It was 33 when I started out.  We are expecting a high of about 50.  

Regarding the pit full of meat, this is more of a big smoke in celebration of the new pit.  I will have several friends stopping by throughout the day, and I'm sure some will stick around for the NCAA games tonight.  I've also had a couple of orders from family members for some pulled pork.  I am using a combination of apple and cherry woods.  The "magic dust" I am referring to are the homemade rub recipes that have been developed after years of research and trial and error 

I'll keep ya posted as things move along.  Thanks for stopping by!

Yes Sir, I have to agree with you.

 

[mrlederman]

Hope things are going great! Either way, I am sure you're having a blast playing with your new smoker.

I am curious about your rub (or any info you want to share in developing one), as I want to star collecting spices to develop my own. Also, do anything special with the chicken? I have been waiting to smoke chicken. I have chickened out when it comes to smoking that meat, chicken generally give me concerns.

Great looking new smoker you got--love it.  HOWEVER, since I still have 4 to 5 ft tall snow drifts in my yard, I'm just a TAD envious.  Enjoy your fine day and what looks to be great Q
