my 4th of july smoke

[uncle_lar]

haveing some family over today so I decided to do a big smoke since I havent done one in a while.

I picked up a nice 12 # packer and some chickens.

going to do some ABTs and some beans too. plus the family is bring  some dishes.

I got the packer going at 11:30 last night foiled it at 7 this morning. at 9 it was @ 200 so I pulled it and separated the

point for burnt ends.

Foiled the flat with some juice and put it in my Alto Shaam on hold @ 150*

I did up the burnt end and I put the yard bird in  at11:30 just a few minutes ago

going to get the ABTs ready now and eats are planned for about 3:30.

I will post more later

thanks for looking.

ok , yesterday was really busy so i didnt get time to post the rest of the smoke.

So hear are the rest of the pictures.

everything turned out fantastic. brisket was a bit hit and my nieces husband who is from Texas

thought he was back home. that made me feel good

full smoker.

beans on top, burnt ends and 2 racks of chicken

ABTs waiting to go in the smoke

I had to pull the burnt ends when they wer done and then put in  theABTs

I definitely need a bigger smoker

the spread.

we had fresh sweet corn and home made macaroni salad too but I forgot to get a picture of them

the brisket lost some of its smoke ring being foiled for 4 hours but it sure had a fantastic taste and was juicy as could

be. I used pecan and apple for everything and it had great flavor

the chicken and ABTs.

I dusted the chicken with old bays and garlic , I gave it a couple shots of apple juice while it was smoking

ABTs had my homemade Italian sausage, onion, garlic , creams cheese, and cheddar cheese stuffing

thanks for looking, I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend

Am I doing something wrong in my posting on the new forum venue?

is I cant believe no one has commented on my spread.

is my post showing up?

Ive been  away a bit and this was my first Qviev on  the new forum

wondering if I did it right?

It was awesome, Lar.  You're right - the brisket was perfect.  Made me think I was back in East Texas.  Now you've got me itching to try it myself!
