finally got my q-view from lat week up. here it is:

this smoke from last week turned out pretty good - it had cheese and hashbrowns rolled inside jimmy dean maple sausage. i was going to add some onions, but forgot.

inside looked really good:

we sliced it up and ate it on toast.

during that day, i babysat a pork butt (which is in reality a shoulder) for a welcome home barbecue for my #1 son who came for a visit.
here it is coming after coming off the smoker and resting for about half an hour. you can see good smoke penetration here:

when we went to pull it, it came apart very easily....

it was a little drier than it should have been, but otherwise it was very, very good. a vinegar and pepper-based carolina sauce amde the perfect sidekick for this steamy pile of pulled pork!

Turkey done now too, wow this Brinkman kicks butt now that I have it all mod-ed up. I'll post pics of my last mods, it worked GREAT!! Briquettes burned all the way down to nothing, no unburned coals, I could get any temp I wanted. yeehaw!

here are the birds (I took a taste off the chicken leg oh man its the best chicken I have ever tasted!!)

very good looking, ron - congrats on your first birds!

be sure to save some leftover and try that pot pie recipe. it's a good one for a grey rainy or winter day and the smell that goes through the kitchen and the house is very close to heaven!

Thanks Ron! If there is anything left lol
But no matter what, going to try your recipe, looks awesome! Thanks!
