Pork Shoulder

[link]

The wife and kid just left for the movies and I just put on a 7 lb pork shoulder that has been sitting overnight with a rub on it. I will post some pictures later.

Friendly tip for all of you from link:
When preparing your smoker and adding the hot coals to the smoker box do not do this barefoot! I just steeped on one of the hot coals that missed the box. Always wear shoes!

That is all for now.

Ouch that didn't feel good

Looking forward to some Qview but not of the foot

 

[glued2it]

I just did that a couple of days ago. A little coal fell out of my chimeny starter and I found it in the soft spot between my big toe and ball of my foot.
OUCH!!!!!!
Footware of some kind is definatly needed.

Well, if you never make a mistake, you're not trying hard enough. If you make the same mistake twice, you're not learning

Look forward to the final report.

Been barefoot all morning. Worst thing that happened is I spilled some bourbon. Just couldn't get my foot to my mouth so some was wasted

I take it you are not a fire walker

 

[richtee]

Well, dang it Vlap! I DO applaud the effort tho... I won't bust on ya too hard...but dang man, careful with that bourbon!

And don't shake the ashes around if you're barefooted, and even then wear socks. Been there... done that.

 

[vlap]

oops... been shaking them all day barefoot... did have a spark land on my foot and it burned a bit but for some reason I enjoy it.

 

[richtee]

Well, apparently you have disinfectant already applied... ;{)

 

[vlap]

The dog was able to help me if that makes it any better... She did not leave much to wipe up on the floor either

I thought this was SMF smoking meat forum, not SMF sado-masocism forum!

 

[vlap]

Just wait till I get going

A few more beers oughta do it

I'd say to be safe wear leather soled boots, or shoes that you can kick out of if you happen to stand on something so hot as to melt through the soles. I discovered this tip while teaching arc welding.

Sorry it took a bit to get these up but here is how it turned out

Going on the Smoker

Finished 7 hours later

[vlap]

Looks pretty good!!!

My foot has had to make the quick dip in the pool on more than one occasion.

Good job on the pork BTW

Nice q-view. I have a friend who says a real man fries up bacon with no shirt. I will have to tell him that a real barbecue man does it bare footed!

 

[fatback joe]

Real men fry bacon naked.
