A Smokin Day Today.

[Toby Keil]

Going to be firing up the WSM in a few hours, my daughter is having a end of summer swim party and asked if I could smoke some ribs and a pork butt for pulled pork sandwiches. I have two racks of spares and the butt is just over 4 pounds, I got a small one so I can cook it today, rest it in the cooler for a few hours then pull just before eating. Here’s a few pics after they were prepped. I’m also going to make some ABTs today. Just found out that one of the girls is a vegetarian, guess I’ll be cooking her a turkey burger. I’ll let you all know how things go and post the rest of the pics tomorrow. It’s a very cloudy warm day in SoCal today, what’s up with the weather this year. I think we broke the 100 mark maybe twice the whole summer, whacky.

Here’s the spares rubbed down with Blues Hog.

The Butt rubbed and ready to go.

Spares and the Butt and the bag in the back is all the trimmings. I’m freezing em then going to make breakfast sausage at a later date.

Here’s the rest of the cook. The butt was pulled off the smoker at 190, wrapped it in foil and rested for an hour in a cooler while the ribs finished up. Once the ribs were off, I threw some brown sugar on them covered with foil an let them sit for a spell. I couldn’t have asked for a better evening, good friends came over, the kids had a blast and best of all, they really liked the food. Man I love BBQ!

Awesome Toby! To me the best thing is watching others enjoy your food.
From the looks of that crowd it seems like you nailed it! 8)
