Going to see the outside temps at 45 degrees are going to do with the smoke times.  Know they will differ some from this Summer. This is 35 pounds of gorgeous Boston Butts.  About 4 hours in now.

You go girl!

Our Service men and women are the best My Son, My Dad and My Father in Law all served!

I finished the butts about midnight last nite.  They did great and no real stall time.  I ended up with 6 pint jars of pumpkin puree and that is 2-3 loaves of pumpkin bread per pint.  I do have pics and will post when I get to the Quilt Shop.

OMG!  I am doing a Snoopy Dance! 

2 of the butts I smoked yesterday were for a couple that come into the Quilt Shop. Anyhoo....they came today to get the pp and didn't realize how much they would actually get. They had already paid for the butts, and gave me some extra $.  Just got a message from Larry...he told me that I am giving Whitt's, Big Bob Gibson's (OMG>>>OMG) and Lawler's a run for their money!  Whoooo-----Hooooo!  I am elated! (was scared they wouldn't like it!)

Here are the pics! And the rest of the stuff I did yesterday.  Still gotta do more Apple Butter tonight!
