Hey Dirtman,

Can't wait to see the final pics...I do have a question..........

 

[dirtman775]

that would be cabernet soaked oak from oak wine barrels.....i would be lieing if i said my yard did not smell like a winery

 

[bbq engineer]

NICE PIC! Sounds fantastic. I bet the neighbors are rolling out of bed and going out to get their papers thinking "how do I get an invite to dinner??" once that smell hits 'em.

Keep us posted!

 

[dirtman775]

here she is @ 4hrs....im already at 168 does this sound right?????

 

[mballi3011]

Sounds good to me. Everything looks fine for now. If your slicing I think I would do the towel and cooler thing but I like it rare and really juicy. Cann't wait for the finish pics.

 

[dirtman775]

Thanks MB...it actually went back down to 167....i guess it's doin it's thing
