Hello all,
So Next Friday I refuse to succumb to the ridiculous shopping habits of us Americans, so I plan on smoking instead
Only thing is, the weather forecast currently says partly cloudy with a low of 18 and high of 34.
This will be my first smoke in the cold. Any ideas on things I need to be concerned about. Will I just need a bigger fire, Do I need to erect a shelter for the smoker? etc. Let me know what you guys do in the cold.
The plan is:
Meat on by 6 am
10lb pork shoulder
Breakfast Fatty done by 9
Turkey dinner fatty by 12
ABTs
Dutch's wicked baked beans and pulled pork for dinner.
***********************************************Update**********************************************
Here is some pics from tonight's prep. Fatties and Picnic are ready to go in at 6 am.
Breakfast sausage, Hashbrowns, smoked Cheddar, and Eggs in a blanket.
Turkey sausage, potatoes, turkey, green bean casserole, and stuffing in a turkey blanket... I don't have high hopes with the turkey bacon.
Skin off the shoulder and Jeff's Rub all over. Will make the ABTs and Dutch's Wicked tomorrow.
Will add Q View as we go tomorrow.
If you are shopping stay safe and spend well! Happy thanks giving
First Fatty done
Second fatty and ABTs are done. Pleasantly surprised by how good the turkey sausage and bacon came out.
