I think we're doing burgers and dogs for the 4th, but my nephew's bday is on the 2nd, and we're having a party for him on the 7th. He asked me to smoke a pork loin roast for him, and it won't be enough food so it will be 2 roasts or 1 roast and something else.
He's turning 12; we will make a "smoker" out of him!
Well this is not for the 4th but doing tomorrow because it’s to be really hot here for next few days. This keeps us out of kitchen for a few days. Smoked meatloaf to be sliced down for sandwiches. Smoked whole chicken to be made into chicken salad. A marinated deer roast to be sliced down for fajitas. Just have to nuke a few slices to eat in fajita. This should last us until weekend
Well that doesn't sound bad at all Bear! Happy belated Father's Day!I think on the 4th, I will be having my Father's Day Dinner at Bear Jr's house:
Bear Jr had a bad cold the week of Father's day, and didn't want me to get it, so he postponed the Dinner.
Then his wife went to Williamsburg & Busch Gardens for a week.
So I think I'm having my Father's Day Ribeye on Wednesday!!!

Serious health issues have left my smoker gently weeping for the last 8-10 months but I'm mostly back in form for the 4th.
Planning on turkey legs, BBQ wings, and a couple of racks of ribs We picked up a 40# case of huge wing pieces for $1.29/lb, broke it down to 10 4# vacuum-sealed bags, and crammed them in the freezer.
I'll post pics along the way.
I'm thinkin pork steaks . Got a great method , they come out fantastic .
Well Briggy; given I still don't know if we're going to a family reunion or not, I have nothing planned <It is likely we'll end up doing burgers for the 4th. Weather dependent>.
If you want to beat me to it though..do smoked Osso Buco and tell me how it goes ;)
Note; not pre made burgers though, I'll get some decent 80/20 ground chuck or some thing, mix in onions and the like. Maybe some chopped bacon!
I actually do. I was thinking just ole beef shanks, but I imagine the methods and times will be the same. Smoke for 3-4 hours at 275f. Then per the stuff I read, you chuck it into the pot with braising ingredients. Cover well, put it back into the smoker for 2-3 hours more.Winner so far! Have a recipe for those veal shanks on a smoker??
Thanks, Briggy! Happy 4th to you and all on SMF !Sorry to hear about your health issues smokindogs, that sounds like a great menu!
I’m going to be smoking a prime brisket on the 4th. I may do some kielbasa as a lunch while the brisket is going. Not sure about that yet though. We are going to throw it all in for the 4th. Deviled eggs, barbecue beans, mac n cheese, corn on the cob, and to finish it off, homemade ice cream.
