The big smoke

[coolpick87]

Hey everyone!
Me and my roommates just fired up our 2 smokers this morning. We're having alittle pow-wow here. I think around 15-20 are going to be here tonight. Cant wait. And oh course Q-view will be provided later today. This is the biggest smoke that we have done so far, and its suppose to rain all day, but we do have a big tent, so all is good.
1 brisket
1 huge pork shoulder
2 chuckies
60-70 ABTs
2 BB ribs
2 pork loins
~15lb of chicken thighs
12 beer brats
And all the other good stuff, bake beans, beer, etc
And maybe fire up the fish fryer also(big maybe, we're running alittle low on spoonbill)

Wow, that was not fun. A huge storm front just came, and it poured down hard. The smokers lost alot of heat, but I got it under control. The tent didn't help much, lol. The wind almost knocked the one smoker over

. And I'm the only one running them right now. I think I'm just going to get some smoke to the larger stuff and throw them in the oven here in a little while.

No harm in doing it that way. Probably a good idea if the weather is that bad.Better to be safe than sorry.

Having "competition" BBQ won't make the pow wow all that much better, but not having "any" BBQ will kill the party.

Sorry the weather is out to get you today. What part of the country are you in?

Man, that's a lot food. What time do we eat??

 

[bigbaldbbq]

I hope the storm blows away quickly. and that is a LOAD of meat for 15 to 20 people. I hope you guys are ready to eat!

 

[coolpick87]

Very true, everything is going really good now. But I've been looking at the radar, and another cell is going to hit in a couple of hours. Thats when I'll throw everything in the oven. The one smoker is doing really good, but the other is just a PITA. Fun fun.

Good luck with your huge smoke. I hope all goes well.

Sounds like a good time hope the weather gives you a break and you can get it all done and have fun. I'll be looking forward to the Qview

 

[bigtrain74]

Good luck my man!!! You can plan a big BBQ but you can't plan on the weather...

 

[coolpick87]

Update, everything is going good, getting ready to throw ribs on, and chicken here in a little.

ABTs made and ready, roughly 60 there.

Hope you ride through the weather okay- those ABT's look mighty fine!

 

[waysideranch]

I would like to see pics of the beer cans all over the place as well as the meat and such. Good luck. Also the morning after pics of those who sleep on the floor and bath tub would work as well.

 

[the dude abides]

We've all seen meat. LOL Let's see those party picts! HAHA

 

[cowgirl]

Great looking ABTs. Hope the weather doesn't get ya!!

 

[coolpick87]

Well, everything turned out great, sorry no drunk pics, lol. But around 20-25 people showed up. Pretty good stuff.
Brisket

ABTs

1 of the chuckies, alittle tough but good.

1 pan of chicken

Pulled pork, turned out great

Pork loin

Smoked beer brats, they were under cooked so I just threw them on the grill.

 

[pineywoods]

Food looks great I'm sure with that amount of food people got plenty to eat and a good time was had by all.

 

[gnubee]

Damm that looks good. Smokes done under adverse conditions is where you learn the most. Anybody complain about that food you made needs a good ole fashioned whuppin. lol

 

[bigsteve]

Surprised the Chucky was tough. Did you pull it or cut it up before you took the pic? What temp did you cook it to?
