I concede, things happening?????
Hey look , my new Tat.................;}-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am so ashmed I don't have any pron of the cook last night, however,I had a huge surprise. I was to have my old tattoo re-done on my b-day in Nov. Mijo walked in threw down a bag of goodies to smoke(2-f;ats,4-Chickens and 4-racks of Spares. Says, "Hi, Pop. Got some meat fer ya, and I have a nice little extra too." Followed by Darrel(his buddy) and his daughter... What's with that ,you ask? She's a 15y/o girl that has an intrest in tattoos. She's given quite a few to friends,family and from what I've seen,VERY good. That's why I told Jr. I'd let her do it in Nov. Well, B-day last night!!!
Here's a shot of the outline and some shading:
then the finished product...
I forgot all about the "Que", and Stan said he'd do it.....bad choice.
It took me 2 hrs. to get the do, I thought Mijo was tending the smoke, but NOTHerought with him a 22y/o girl he met somewhere and was Rutting all evening.
I had gotten a great ember bed going and the temps. in the chamber were where I wanted them. On coming out to show off the Too, i noticed the temp. was 125(F and going down hill.I ran over and stoked it and opened to air, shoved a stick in her and began to fight the battle.
It took most of an hour to get back tp my 220*F, I went over to him and wanted to bust his chops (verbally) . But I decided to let it go.He's in LOVE again and acting like a teenager. Trouble is he's 38y/o. She's Uhhhh,22y/o.
Remember those days?????
Any how, we sat all night and ended up with some excellent "Que".
Well, I did, everyone else crashed.
On at 7pm off at 9am, 195*F, good bark and nice smoke ring. Eggs were a hit again and the Ribs,Ummmmmmmm
O.K/, I have a few shots Stan eventually got( late into the cook), and will post them and some post cook views as soon as I can wake him up to send them to me.(phone camera).
Sorry this was so long, but I feel better now.
Awsome work on the re-do and she's just starting...
If she keeps on, she'll be an artist. I may have her sign it,in case she gets famous.LOL
Stan aka Old School
SMOKE HAPPY
