gunna fire up the smoker this weekend, brisket, pork butt, spare and back ribs and a few thighs, prolly throw some salmon on while we're eatin the meat.......oh, and rum and stogies while the cookins goin on.
I was going to say, maybe it's time I quit drinking and smoking, tear down all the Vargas girl posters and straighten out my life. But I won't.....
I pulled at Pork Shoulder out today. I'm going to let it rest in a brine starting tomorrow around noon, then smoke it one Saturday! I think I'm going to try and put together my own bbq sauce. First time at a sauce so we'll see how that turns out. Does any body else make their own sauces and rubs? I've got my rub down, just never tried a sauce. My family and I prefer a sweet sauce over the tangy stuff. Unless its hot wings...then tangy and stupid hot!

Thanks for the sauce recipies beenie! I'll have to give one a try today. Today's smoker run is a 7.6 lb. pork shoulder. It soaked in a salt, brown sugar, dry rub for about 12 hours (over night). I was up at 6 and had it smoking by 6:30. Temp is low about 215. I added the dry rub shortly after the pick. I was in such a rush I almost forgot!! Here is a pick about 20 min after it hit the rack.

Still going strong. Smoker has steady at about 215-225. The whole backyard smells like hickory!! Sat back and enjoyed a Padillla Miami 8&11 that I received Isaac. Great cigar!! I seem to like every cigar Isaac has given me! A few more hours and I'll check the internal temp on the shoulder. I'm shooting for 200.
