What is on the menu for Memorial Day Smoke????

[lucc]

Just wanting to get an idea of what everyone is smoking this holiday weekend. I mostly make ribs because that is what everyone likes in my family but I'm looking to change it up a bit. Maybe 3 racks and a chicken or some sort of beef?

Post up your menus.

I am glad you posted this.

I am doing another butt. I am trying a bit of a different aproach then I did with my last one. I am brining my butt this time in a vegetable broth, kosher salt, ginger, peppercorn, bay leaves and Molasses. I will pull it out of the brine tonight and give it a good rub down. I am trying a new rub and if it is good, I will share the rub recipe. I am also planning on smoking a turkey for the first time. I will have to read up on this as I have never smoked a turkey. I am good at roasting a turkey but that is a completely different ball game. I plan on brining the turkey 24 hours and cooking on Sunday when people are over. I plan on smoking the butt Saturday.

Speaking of smoking the butt a day ahead. What is the recommended way for reheating the butt once it is shredded? Or should I not shred it until it is reheated? What do you do?

I have never brined any of my butts, just rubbed with mustard the night before. I assume you are going to shred on Saturday and put in a tinfoil pan? If so I would say you can just reheat in oven on a low temp.

Giving the smoker the weekend off.  Boiling crawfish.  Gotta get em in one last time.  The season is almost over.

 

[magik grill]

LOL ..    well the ribs will go in a rack... Chickens on Cans... Chuckies around chickens..  and ABT's where every they fit..  LOL   going to be tight..  but I think it will fit..  

2 weekends ago I had 4 slabs of ribs, 1 Fattie, ABT's, and a bunch of the Flanks and Rib Tips from trimming the 4 slabs ribs..  

So it should be interesting.. I will get some Q-view when she is loaded

 

[rhankinsjr]

Ok, now I have the meat in hand... well in the fridge.... so it is confirmed.

2 pork butts

4 racks of meaty spares

1 brisket

some abt's

This will be my first solo brisket and first abt's, and my very first full q-view hopefully weather permitting.

Going to have to use the SNP, not sure if I will have time to re-season the Bandera before the smoke on Saturday.

I have never brined a butt either but I figured what the heck, Let me give it a go. Cool and thanks for getting back to me on the reheat. I figured that would be okay but was worried aboutthe pork drying out.
