Well, it's a blustery 27 degrees here in Charlotte, NC and my smoker is encased in a block of ice from our little ice storm yesterday, but the meat is prepped and the I'm headed out to get some more wood to FIRE IT UP!!! Gunna SMOKE U SOME TODAY!! Woohoo!! Yea!!!

I've created a semi comPITion with the Big Guy-- he dressed one and I dressed the other. I did give him the easier cut with all the dark meat... We used ALMOST the same rub, and I injected mine. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

I saw these Beef Ribs in the "Marked down" yesterday...... Soooooo,  SPOG and covered overnight....

The MES is warming up now....  A little mesquite mixed with Pitmaster's Choice in the AMNPS and

the protein will be ready to serve.....   

This is my first try at these things.... I always passed  on them due to the lack of meat.....

Who ever trimmed them, left more meat than I expected to see....

but for $2.29/#, I just had to give them a try....  If I fail....  Beef soup will be in the Dutch Oven....


Done......  see next post......  #38

Smokin' up the neighborhood! And no, it's not a bird, it's not a plane in the background; it's Buck-Pup-Eee (said like annoucing the arrival superhero!) -- my CRAZY Australian Shephard launching for a "Bee" :)
 
Cooking my first fatty, made a pizza one...also going to cook the old standby bbq meatloaf....These are cheap to do and easy on the wallet so I can still get my smoking fix..
 
Smoking VODKA!

Maybe i've had to much to drink already but what the heck!  Put a 750ml of Stolli into a shallow pan and have had Apple smoke on it for about 3 hours so far going to do another 3 i think!  It's already taking on a lil smoke color! Hopefully it turns out good.

I got the idea from a Yahoo headline a few months back about a company in England selling smoked water.  They said it makes a great whiskey/water. I figured i'd just smoke the alcohol sounds cooler than smoked water at least!
 
Aren't you gunna "smoke" out the alcohol? :) vodka drinker, myself, so, obviously I'm concerned :p

I've never injected a butt before but I'm curious as to what you hated about it - or did it have no redeeming qualities whatsoever?

Get home Monday at noon from a 3000 mile turn around run,will get ribs rubbed and in the smoker with ABT's on Tues. Come Wed. I do it again. I do enjoy getting good Q when I can find it out there.
 
I thawed out a beef rib roast that I bought on sale over the holidays. Rubbed with thick woosty sauce and Montreal Steak seasoning. Smoked with hickory chips to an internal temp of 130 degrees. Foil and rest a bit. And some Chef JJ's au jus to go with it of course. Montgomery Inn baked beans for the side.
 
Spent the day doing mods to my offset smoker. Made a gasket using permatex modified an old grate into a new fire basket. I also put in a dryer hose, and new thermometer. Planning on experimenting with using a cookie sheet as a tuning plate. Really hoping these mods help me keep more consistent temps. I already put a rub on a pork shoulder and rack of baby backs and left both soaking in 50/50 apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Plan on getting up in the morning and getting this gravy train rolling.
 
Holy Cow Ribs they were good.... Too bad there is so little meat on them....  Smoked 3 hours...

Cooked for 7 hrs from 110 to 180...  Didn't check the IT.... The pull back said enough for me to dive in....

Dipped in a little Sweet Baby Rays sitting on the plate... Pickled beets, green salad w/shrimp.... UMMMM good... 

I think I'll do these again exactly the same way......    Dave

Update on smoked VODKA!

Vodka was in smoker for 5.5 hours.  I cold smoked the vodka with Todd's Amazn Smoker!!  Vodka had great aroma but i think i let it sit in smoke too long.  I mixed a drink with water and first sip was good but just too strong of smoke flavor.  I think next time I will try only a 2 - 3 hours of smoke.  Definitely going to do this again!!!!

PS: Smoked vodka looks like pee, it scared a few people from trying it!!! HAHA
