Finally a day that isn't below freezing. Been waiting since cristmas to smoke on the Lang. Shoveled out the wood and the smoker so I was good to go at 3 am sunday .:eek:

I had a 14 + Lb Shoulder Clod, and the same size choice packer rubbed up the day before. Still workin on different combos of rubs vs. mops.Beef went on at 4:15, and the dark morning sky was filled with stars, and the woods with sounds of owls. Calm clear ,and 34 degrees!:)

Heres the thin blue on a super lookin mornin.

The clod and brisket at 4 hrs.

The temps out side shot up to mid 40's today and it was sweat pants and T-shirt weather. Here is the clod ready to go into foil in the cooler at 12 hrs to the minute!:D

had to hurry off to a party next door.Heres the contribution I made to the event.
Beef platter- sliced brisket, burnt ends and shredded clod, in the pan next to the beef was some crab stuffed mushrooms.

Also made up 4 fatties of various types and a pan of Dutch's beans.It was a hit at the party.Great fun and food, game wasn't to shabby either.

Came home at halftime and pulled the rest of the clod.

That platter was about 2/3 of the whole thing, very good return on the meat, probably somewhere near 8-9 lbs on a 14 1/2 lber.

Best clod I have done yet!. Brisket turned out good too, but the chuck was way better!;)

That all looks really good, Dan. You've made me hungry, lol. :)

Great looking grub Dan. The Lang is lonely no more. That's a Outstanding plate of meat in the last pic..

Great looking beef and shrooms Dan!

Gotta like those self-cleaning Langs eh? LOL!

Nice work, Dan!

Man that looks good. I need a pulled beef sammich now.

Damn Dan, that looks good enough to eat! Great lookin' grub!

Those are some cool pics you posted, Capt, especially of the Lang surrounded by the snow ... Glad you had a chance to fire up the beast and looks like it produced some mighty fine grub for ya!

Nice, really nice. No snow, it's in the mid forty's here and my butt is cold! You guy's & gal's in that white stuff amaze me with your fortitude.
