There is a story behind this smoke. I had a dead battery last sunday and took it to Autozone to have my 2 month old battery checked. I was told the alternator wasn't putting out enough volts, around 13 or less under load. I told him I would have my shop confirm this.
So today I had an appontment with my favorite shop for 10 years Rio Rancho Imports a family owned bussiness. He is honest, and guarantees his work for 1 year. The altermator is only 2 years old. He also said that he works with a special program with Bauch not sure of the spelling, the manufacturer and he could get me a free alternator and all I would have to pay was the labor, whew, wiping off my brow.
So we got to chatting, and found out he is a smoker also. I told him about this site and how great it was. He has done mostly ribs and chicken. And before long the Tech came in with a written report. The altenator was fine, no problemo.
I asked him how much I owed him, he said, NADA.
I thought about that all day. With all the crooks out there he could't have charged me another $300.00 + and I was at HIS mercy, or at least a diagnostic charge. I know he paid the tech for .3 of an hour labor out of his pocket, because I heard him tell the girl that. I think his rate is at least $60.00 an hour.
So, on the way home I decided it was time for a payback. I stopped at Sam's and got 12 Kaiser buns, then at Krogers and picked up a 7 # butt.
I am going to deliver it hot and ready to pull for their lunch tomorrow, 7 people total with my ECBB smoked beans.
Anyway here is the start:
It was on sale but the label came off, $1.77a pound.
I rubbed it with pancake syrup, I ran out of Maple, and lemon pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. I was going to sear it and forgot, I was wondreing why it was so hot on the patio, the Weber was going for an hour STUPID.
I am also doing dry cured chicken thighs for me at the same time.
Anyway, thanks for watching, more to come.
