WOO HOO....Im off the next two days and I finally get to try out my WSM that wifey got for my b-day.
I wanted to try a brisket as my first cook but since I cant seem to find brisket for less than 25 bucks I opted for a pork butt. (I'll stock up on brisket when it goes on sale for labor day)
I stoped at Walmart on the way home from work and picked up a 10.22 lb bone in pork shoulder picnic roast. Tyson brand. When I saw it in the store the packaging said "100% All Natural, no articial..blah blah", then I get home and take a closer look at the same label and noticed it ALSO says "contains up to 8% solution..." CRAP. Im not suppose to get the enhanced stuff...right? Oh well..I'll add less salt to the rub.
After Walmart I stopped at Academy to see what kind of wood they had. I wanted apple chunks but they only had apple chips. The only chunks they had were hickory and mesquite.
Got a fresh back of Royal Oak lump. I plan on getting up early in the morning and fire it up. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress and hope to through in some pictures. I'll be reading the forum off and on throughout today and tommorow so if you have any suggestions through em at me.
Thanks
