Happy Forth of July! What are you smoking this weekend (in the smoker that is)?

[voodoo7]

Hi all! First and foremost I want to wish you all a Safe and Happy 4th of July!

I'm looking at doing a butt, some burnt ends, maybe some beer braised chicken and beef jerky. I can't wait! Love, Love, Love my smoker!!!!

Gonna be chillin' tending the smoke and drinking a few ice cold Sam Adams Porch Rockers (SO GOOD, if you haven't tried them DO IT).

What's on your menu?

Voodoo7......Out!

I put a 5 lb pork shouder and a 3.5 lb brisket on this morning at 6:00 am.  Its not 11:00 am and my mouth is watering!  Hoping for some delicious sandwiches over the weekend!

Awesome!

About 20lbs of butt, beans and a virgin run at ABT

I think I might do chicken or ribs... something that wont take too long.  There is far too many fireworks, and too much beer to spend too much time with the smoker.

Voodoo - I've never done a brisket before so I'm little nervous.   Its been on for a little over 5+ hours.  Its a 3.5lb flat. I had my smoker between 230 and 240, when the brisket it an IT of 165, I wrapped in foil and put it back on.  It was an hour or so and the brisket hit 190 but when I inserted the probe, it seemed tough and I was surprised it was at 190.  I checked a couple of spots it didn't just slide in.  But, I still pulled it off the smoker and wrapped it in towels and put in in the cooler for a few hours.   Will it tender up?  Could it be its just going to be tough?

On the flip slide, the shoulder is going great.  Its been sitting at 165 for a bit, so might be stalling but I'm in no hurry as this is for the weekend.  Snuck a piece off the end and its might tasty!

Also, living in Washington, its hard to tell what else we may be smoking this weekend. 

 

[voodoo7]

Awesome!

 

[voodoo7]

Sweet! I may try ABT for the first time.

After sitting it should be good. The residual heat should take it where it needs to be. I had to pull my last one off at 180. It wasn't fall apart done but, done nonetheless. It still was awesome!

I've been smoking ribs every 4th for the past 3 years.  Our condo balcony overlooks the park where they shoot the fireworks off at.  so it's a perfect excuse to smoke ribs and drink beer all day.  Bought my ribs and Bells Two Hearted last night.  

 

[voodoo7]

That's great. I use to have a grill on my deck and it was the best. Grilling and having all of the neighbors that didn't have won envious.

I have 4 ribs that I'm going to start smoking and 7 roasted chickens.
