    Cheese Smoke while knocking out the "honey do" list...

    Thanks, got the important ones done...house is clean, and yard is mowed/trimmed.  Got some dishes to do, and then it's time to nap off the Bailey's breakfast!

    Cheese Smoke while knocking out the "honey do" list...

    So, I took the day off, a glorious fall Iowa day (75, sunny, breezy), had no plans what so ever, but when I wake up, what do I see?  A list about an 8th of a mile long of things to do (slightly exaggerated) from my lovely wife.  So, I did what I think many of us would do, fired up the smoker...

    My most ambitious smoke yet...

    Awesome, thanks man, and from a fellow Lebowski fanatic, I will say "Your foot was on the line, mark it zero".

    Well, I was a little delirious from lack of sleep, so I didn't take any pictures of the brisket pre slicing...but you get the idea. Pork came out better than usual - sometimes I have issues getting a good crust, but I had a few temp spikes late that I think helped. Got a few odd looks from...

    Brisket's foiled, still plateau'd at 165-168 degrees on the pork...been there for about 2 hours, so it should break soon. Then it's time for bed...just in time for the sun to come up. Man, I'm tired.

    Ha! I actually just trimmed a piece of the brisket off and walked in and saw your post...she ain't pristine anymore!!

    It's 4:11 am, and I'm still going strong (thanks to some strong coffee). Both meats are plateau'd, so any chances of going to bed before sunrise are gone...oh well, I consider it suffering for one's art. Thanks again for the encouragement.

    Getting a little tired, must be that delicious Iowa wine, and the vodka tonics that I washed the wine down with...should probably eat something. Oh well, check the progress below.

    Results are in, on the wine at least, and the results are good! If you're a wine lover, you should try an iowa vintage, we got good soil out here, ya know? I appreciate the offer, but the turkey legs are going on in the morning since they don't take nearly as long as the other two...updated...

    Well, I decided to throw the turkey legs back in the fridge, the brisket and the shoulder took up more space than anticipated, and I don't want to crowd to avoid unnecessary cross contamination. Oh well, will still give periodic updates, got a long way to go... ...and the wine's about half...
