Labor Day Weekend, What's Ya Smokin'

[solar]

I just realised this morning that Labor Day is this weekend, I was thinking of taking a Saturday off from smoking, but how can you when you have a long weekend?

I'm thinking about doing a meatloaf, and a fattie, since I've covered most of the meat groups except turkey, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

What is everyone else planning for the weekend, or is it to soon yet?

A pork butt and some abt's for sure. Probably a fattie or two.

Labor Day weekend is still an uncertainty. That uncertainty being work. But eaarly plans are for 1 day fajitas and the next either brisket or ribs. I want brisket, my wife wants ribs. But I am doing all the smoker work so hopefully I will win out. The fajitas are a definite. I have some steaks in the freezer that are going to be up around the end of September, so now is a good time. Things are looking better for next year. I was able to pick up most of a pecan tree from a tree company this morning. Lots of splitting, drying and chunking for next year. Too bad mesquite doesn't grow in NE Kansas.

ever since we had rain, we have had an explosion of frogs..toads I can't tell the differnce..but they have huge ole legs..was thinking about sighting in the pellet rifles and having a safari in my back yard.( just turn up the pwr on the scope and they look a lot larger.) the machete is like a razor and the ole choppin block has been cleaned off by the rains. this could turn out to be a fun weekend.

Not a thang!

But I'll be eatin Q @ reno's rib fest starting saturday

Wolf, what time do you want me there?

Sounds like a feast to me!

The weather has been rough here for a week before TS Fay and it is just now trying to dry up a bit. I hope I can get something going for the weekend. If I do, I know it will include BB ribs and a fattie. I'm thinking of maybe doing a butt too but cutting it in 2 pieces to cut down on cook time a bit. If it happens I'll have some Qview for the masses.

Gonna have family here from Penn, upper michigan and locally, neighbors and usually Labor day guests. Pool party and celebrating 20 yrs of misery and Lust for my wonderful redheaded wife, Janet. She's a fireplug, and I can't believe we haven't killed each other in these quick 20 years. Sundays cook will be a couple fatties, 2 pans of dutch's beans, 2 butts, 2 split chickens in the smoker, lotsa other stuff on the table by dinner time. Expecting 25+ folks, fun in the pool and bonfire afterwards.


Wings ,drummies, and fatties on Monday!

Hope all my friends here have a wonderful Labor day weekend!

 

[richtee]

Uhh Dan...I think that's "sparkplug". And don't count on the weekend yet if she sees THIS post ;{)

Thinking of trying my first brisket on Thursday night into Friday then taking it with me as we are going away for the weekend. The weekend after, however, is another story. Doing a big party that weekend with pulled pork, chicken, ribs, brisket, Dutch's beans, ABT's and who knows what else.

I actually want to do the brisket this week as a first experience before the party.

12 lb turkey BCC style. Got some broth for the brine, the can looks like it'll fit nice and right up Tom's gooster!
