OMG.. a light buld just went off in my brain.. (i know.. my brain still works??) but

you might be on to something here..

Cherry and Red Oak (soooo good) infused frebreeze............ holy crap that would be great.. lol

When Im home and not cooking anything, but outside working in the hard or what not, I light the AMNPS just for the smell... its a big incense burner :):)

I can hear Foxworthy now, you might be a redneck if..............  your air freshener is hickory or pecan smoke flavored!

Both Mikey and I just took the lid off.. was checking skin texture. its crispy..still firm to the meat but getting close where I think is gonna be great. .. and we both decided not to flip... I think if anyone wants some crispier skin I can throw it on the grill...

am I gonna have any problems ( i cant think of any) if I dont flip. I for one am just lazy to flip... but also for cosmetics.. she looks very pretty sitting exactly how she is...

any input?

If the skin is getting crispy - no need to flip as long as the meat internal temps are OK.  If it is getting too burned and dried out on the bottom - that might be a reason to flip - otherwise, let it continue!  Love the pics!

the bottom is drying out .. but, I think there is still plenty of juices inside (based on when I put a probe in and remove it...) that in the long run once its all pulled.... its gonna be fine.. so we are not gonna flip...and thanks :)

thanks Clarissa :P was wondering if you were gonna log on today :) its ready now.. I did a "no no" and sliced into a ham section... just to see.... but its slice ready... im having problems with ALL of my therms.... I guess i really need to get a maverick and just be done with this. but three dig therms all read different temps... one saying 150.. one is 190.. the other is 235... HAH!  so Ill split the difference and say its about 180-190... 

1 hour togo... maybe 2 if no one shows up before then.....

You better send that snout to Moikel...... I see someone nabbed the ears. Don't guess you got the butcher to get a recording of the squeal? Don't want to miss anything. Looks great, looks fun, and think of all the people you made happy.

It was a beautiful day to smoke today, wasn't it.

 

[so ms smoker]

waiting for those finished pics. Any time now?
