Last weekend smoke

[ken2587]

Did a smoke last weekend on the new kingman I have had it for a month or two now and have been waiting to use it finally had a long weekend off from work so it was the perfect opportunity I forgot to take pics along the journey because we had a lot going on but I will put up what we got I started out with a 7.7 lb pork shoulder that I trimmed up slightly rubbed down and tossed on the smoker at a temp of 250 Saturday night at 930 at night I decided to smoke over cherry wood for the shoulder I let it smoke over night from 12-7 am while I took a nap when I woke up at 7 the smoker was at a temp of 160ish and the shoulder was at a temp of 150 so I tossed some coal in and got the temp up to roughly 275-300 fairly quick and easily for the remainder of the shoulder cook the shoulder got pull from smoker at a temp of 201 at 1130 which I then wrapped up in foil and tossed in a cooler with towels for a couple hours to rest up. Durning this time my family got a idea of smoking a chicken and a thick cowboy steak to go with it all so I tossed on some hickory wood and placed the chicken and steak on the smoker at 1030-11 the steak went for roughly 1-1/2 hoursor so at 275ish till temped at 130 to which I then pulled and quick seared on hot grill the chicken went on for 3 hours or so if i remember correctly until a temp of 168 was reach to which I let rest both steak and chicken steak we all tried as a snack for lunch which went over as a huge success which I liked seen as it was just s p g applied before smoking and the chicken came out real nice also it was brined in a old family firemen’s chicken brine I call it or marinade but it came out flavorful and juciey only complaint I had is after sitting and resting the skin got a little tough and as for pulled pork as always it came out awesome everyone was happy and full when the left so over all a good day and the kingman has helped my smoking for sure but here are some pics I did get thanks for looking everyone see you on the next smoke

Dude, that is a great looking pit and some mighty fine looking barbecue. I love your yard. I'd love to have some space like that to work with. Good job.

Thanks George I can’t wait to see how it cooks once it season in real nice and the fuel consumption and one plus side of my yard is we are on 5 acres and most of it’s wooded with mostly hard wood but wish had some cherry or peach wood out back we got mostly white and red oak few hickory and few sugar maples
