Guess I didn't forget how to smoke

[pineywoods]

Things have been really busy around here and I haven't done much smoking I did do some meatloaf awhile back but no Qview. So today was a busy day. I smoked 5 butts, 4 chickens, and a sirloin tip roast. I was also finishing up a big burn I started yesterday. Things went pretty well so I also did some pickled okra and made some jalapeno jelly. It's been another long day but well worth it.

Here's the fire from yesterday

Today all I had to do to the piles was take the tractor and stoke them up every couple hours so I fired up the smoker. I had just put the sirloin tip on in this pic

Spatchcocked the birds

Chicken ready to come off it was a little overdone while I was messing with the pile stoking

The other stuff was doing well

Sirloin Tip pulled at 135

The butts just before foiling

More in the next post

The first two pics remind me of Full Metal Jacket for some reason.

Looks good Jerry!

Bone pulled clean

It was a productive day

First attempt at Jalapeno Jelly think I should have skipped the food coloring

Sorry for the long posts thanks for looking

 Yes a full Metal jacket with a tracer  will do the trick.

I can sympathize with ya on the being busy Jerry, been like that around here too. Looks like you made up for some lost time with that smoke, That pic of the butts before foiling made my mouth water. Nice work.

Looks good Jerry. You may need to bring some of that jelly for a taste test!  Maybe the pickled okra too. I need to drive over.
