Pork butt and assorted goodies, plenty of QVIEW

Finally got my Smokey Mountain out of storage, cleaned up and ready to run - the presents are wrapped in the fridge:

Chicken drumsticks, pork butt, scotch eggs, and a couple steaks for the morning.

The night before...

At this point, I've got the pork butt and chicken drums (jerk seasoning in OJ, and sesame ginger w/papaya) in the smoker for an hour or two, letting it do it's thing.

I really like that idea of grilling right on the chimney.

I have to try that.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the show.

Me, too, Al. It's a lot of fun, and it gets crazy hot. Plus, steak and eggs for breakfast on a smoke day...it just kinda fits.

Man, now that's what I call a smoking day.
Good smoke.
I'll bet the neighbors are happy too.

Great job on everything. I've never seen that method of cooking a steak, but it sure seems like a keeper. I love Scotch Eggs, but have never smoked them, and it goes without saying that nothing beats PP.

I would say you had a great, and very full, day.

Thanks, Gary, more like a full week! I've got enough food for a while now. I can't stress how pleased I was with the Afterburner Method (that's what I've seen it called). Creative, fun, and very effective.

That food looks amazing!

I thought I was clever cooking a steak in the fire box. Over the chimney? Wow!
Points for one helluva smoke day :bravo2:
