Saturday Smoke (5/3) with Q-view

[jbg4208]

Here ya go. This was a 7.5lb bone in picnic. I injected some of Jeff's rub mixed with a little water, and then rubbed it down with Jeff's rub aslo. Got up Sat morning and it was 45 degrees and windy so I moved the smoker into the opening of the garage (perfect). I started it at 7am spritzing with apple juice every few hrs. 6 hrs later it reached 140, so I wrapped it and tossed into the oven so I could get some other things on the smoker (beans... abt's... ect..). It finally got up to temp about 6:30 pm and we were eatin at 7. mmm sure was some good stuff. Made up a batch of Jeff's Sauce and smoked it for 3 hrs, also a batch of Dutch's beans they got 3 hrs too. Oh and a nice batch of ABT's. Man those are good, I hadn't had any of those smoked before. WOW. The in-laws and the wife liked the food, so that was great. Oh and there was a fatty in there also. I jammed some cheddar cheese cubes into it. Using it for breakfast the rest of the week.
Enjoy the q-view

Hey Boone,
Great looking spread and outstanding post. I especially like the idea of smoking the sauce. It's funny how simple things like that really help the taste of the sauce and I just don't think to do it ..... you can bet I'll be doing it from now on though. Thanks again and points coming.

 

[jbg4208]

Yes, the smoked sauce is just great. It's good on everything.

 

[diesel fanatic]

Yeah, why didn't I get a phone call to help eat some of this?
