G'morning, Lets Fire It Up!

EDIT: Dinner is on page 2, post #23

Have one of my wife's friends who bought a house across the street from us, they're still in the moving-in phase.
My wife invited them for dinner and volunteered me to BBQ.
Oh darn... Must I?

Got up at 0400am to finish prepping and start two butts on the smoker.
I gave them a good rub last night and then like always I wrapped them and let them sit overnight, then another generous layer of rub before going on the smoker.



And of course, just like times past, an early morning demands a good breakfast.



Yesterday I made Apple Cranberry Sweet Slaw and Cowboy Caviar with Guacamole.
And this morning I also started prepping a Bacon-n-Cheddar Potato Salad.

Savory Southwestern Waffles, Corn Meal, Green Chiles and Sweet Onion

Savory Southwestern Waffles Corn Meal, Green Chiles and Sweet Onion These waffles are excellent, they come out of the iron with a wonderful outer crust and a moist inside. Bits of Green Chiles and Onion in the buttermilk-n-cornmeal batter add bursts of savory flavor. I highly recommend them to...

OK I need to greatly increase the amount of rub I use on pork butt based on those pics!

 

[chilerelleno]

I’m in.


The chedder n bacon potato salad sounds good.

The potato salad came out like a super lumpy loaded mashed taters.
I overcooked the taters a little and they broke down a bit while folding it all together.
Still really good though, I had a small bowl at lunch.

 

[chilerelleno]

Everything is ready!
Dinner at 5pm, if any of y'all show up on my doorstep you'll get well fed.
