Here's a bit of a grill view... Had to eat tonight :) I did throw a bit of cherry and peach wood into the propane grill to get just a bit of taste -- it was perfect!

Pork chops and a few baby bellas

Chops look good but we want to see what was in that bag!

Oh, how was Maui? I've been to Oahu twice and if I ever have to go back it will be way too soon!

Ok, so typical of Costco, it's two boneless - which is fine, but today I decided to separate the two hunks into 4... I put these two on the lower rack:

And because I think my propane-smoker-that-gets-used-like-a-champion-wood-smoker is a miracle worker that has turned this anti-BBQ person into a Smoking Goddess, I expect it'll come out like this!!

Ok, I knew I'd forget something; brining chix in buttermilk and Cackalacky (a sweet potato base with some nice heat, almost reminded me of Tiger Sauce but a lot thicker with a really cool sweet-potato sweet on the back end- y'all gotta get you some!! OMG!!)

But it's real thick, because the marinade is thick... I didn't add the typical blend of spices boiled together and then cooled with ice cubes and added to buttermilk, the near stroke in May has me not adding salt to items already heavy in salt-- do I rinse my chickys off or just kinda pat 'em dry and send them in?

It's all fun and games til it randomly starts raining as you pull a 9x13 Pyrex out of the Smoker [emoji]128545[/emoji]
