Just woke up from the food induced coma. :LOL2:
After being up all night to baby the smoker(first time) Sunday, then hosting the party in the sun all day which included many adult beverages, swimming in the pool, and then Birthday cake, I hit the couch at 9:30 with camera in hand to start downloading the pics to the PC.
I must of passed out at 9:35.
The Pork butt and Ribs came out awesome. I hope it just wasn't beginners luck.
Couple of things though.
I am not sure If I like "Kansas City Rub" I used it on the ribs and the butt. The butt was lathered in Mustard first. The ribs were not. I did not suace the ribs or the pulled pork. It was one fo those things where I thought if the people wanted the sauce they could sauce themselves.
Next time I am saucing the ribs.
I am very happy with the Weber smoker. It held its temperature between 210-275 the whole time, even when I opened the lid or door a couple of times.
I used 1 bag of Kingsford regular charcoal with cherry chunk wood mixed in. I added a few more chunks when I added the ribs.
Complete report and play by play when I get the pictures off the Camera.
