Hey Everyone,
My neighbor's kid is graduating, and he asked his parents if they thought I woud smoke for his graduation party? Gotta tell you, I was actually flattered by it. Took a rare day of vacation today and am firing up the Iron Maiden...Here's what's on the menu.
45 lbs of Angus Brisket
40 lbs of Chicken Quarters - I'm going to part these out.
Beans - Mrs. Engineer (My Queen of Sides) is gonna put something together for me.
So, I knew it is gonna be a long day of smoking, so I started with a healthy breakfast. Whole grain toast, smeared with real butter, and sprinkled with sugar and Saigon cinnamon. DELICIOUS!
Here is the the Briskets.
Trimmed and Rubbed...definitely got the mess in place. Nice mountain of trimmings.
Iron Maiden is stoked and applying some Wild Cherry, Pecan and Hickory to the Briskets.
We took out our hot tub, and Mrs. Engineer suggested that this become my "Smoking Patio"...Seriously, did she think I would object?
It's right off the covered deck and close to where I park the Iron Maiden anyway. Already has a TV and is hooked to the house sound system. FRICKIN A!
Here's my Pet Dove...she built a nest right outside of the front door. When I think of Dove, I think of Chocolate, so I have named her Cocoa Dora Dove. She's pretty cool and I can keep a close eye on her out the transom window.
Cold and Rainy today...My Purple Martins are hating it. They are just hanging out in their houses and occasionally come out and puff up on their porches. I'll have at least 100 martins in my houses by end of summer (adults and babies). They be some bug eatin' monsters, and are cool to have around.
More pics to come as I get to the Chicken, take some intermediate shots of the brisket, and get some beans ready to go.
