BBQ The thin blue smoke of tastyness

Awesome!!

 

I don't know if there's anything better than a nice butt on a plate

 

Could not resist with all these delicious looking inspirations. As you'll see later, it's a perfect day for BBQ here in the Northeast.....

Overnight rub:


Just a little pin prick....



And into the smoker:



Had to go electric today, offset is buried out there somewhere....

 

You were right, perfect day!

 

You are a Trooper Neil!

 

Hit 165F, and went for the Texas crutch:



Meanwhile....time to make coleslaw and bacon topped buns:

 

Bacon topped buns? You just pegged the coolmeter!

 

I quite literally just said this out loud..."bacon topped buns?!"

 

Guilding the lily so the speak

 

Ready to pull;


And finally, dinner, with crispy fries and pickles.

 

Where the heck is the drooling smiley?

 

Great looking pork and the prize for extreme smoking conditions! But I have to wonder about electricity and nice wet snow. Hate to have BBQ'd Neal!

 

Nice looking butt Neal! esp on those sweet buns (how did you get the bacon to stick?)!

 

Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain all but a tablespoon or two of fat, add a dab of butter and some drippings from the pork and paint it on with a brush. Then dip the buns in the chopped bacon. When the fat cools it holds the bacon.

 

OK, I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure it would be sticky enough. I guess the key is to use fats that are solid at room temp? (Saturated fats, I think is the term?)

 

First butts of the 2015 season.

 

I want to swim in that

 

Swim ???? I want to live there

 

I have a vacusucked bag with your names on it in the freezer.

 

Looky what the 18 wheeler delivered.... Custom gravity-fed smoker.
