Ham, butt's , rib's crabs, wings Louisiana party

[noble captain]

Hello everyone ,
So my husband and I are both anglers and he has been texting me these awesome trout pictures all week so today is pay back. I've called in a crew and decided to smoke everything today lol . Well try anyway. Here I go.
Started at 5am with coal and lit up smoker at 6am filled it up with oak at around 8:40 it got to 270 I let it get that hot because the doors are big on our smoker and it cools fast when I open it. Packed it all inn . So I have 2 Boston butt's for pulled pork, 2 hams that we curred and 3 racks of ribs so far. I will add the chicken wings a little later as it's 9:30 am now and no one will be here till later. I'm picking up the crabs and shrimp at 11:00am my neighbor Jeana will watch temperature when I pick that up. So here are pictures at this point.any and all advise is welcome please. Wish me luck.

Wow what a great looking mess of food. Isn't this what cooking is all about? Good food, cold beer (or beverage of your choice), good friends. Don't get no better than that.

I agree, it was unexpected for my husband lol we have a fridge downstairs so I was able to defrost everything brine the butt's and he was curring the hams in that fridge I was so lucky he didn't catch me lol. I would have been busted if he would have checked them lol

 

[noble captain]
