Son ask me to smoke for about 30 people for Grandaughter's Birthday Party on Sat.
I was going to do this over thursday/friday, but since I have to be somewhere on Friday
I started last nite.
Started with two butts total of 19 1/2 lbs. One got 1/2 SLC 1/2 Head Country the other got John Henry's Texas Pig Rub.

Since Mia is one of the Original Boudain Dancers, I had to smoke some Boudain.

Started at 8:30 last nite. Set Pid at 240* and installed the "Secrect" Thurbo shield. Gave it 6 hrs of 2/1 Hickory and Apple.
At 2:30 IT on the Butts was close to 150*. I put them in the Oven on a elevated rack at 225* Pic coming out of Bradley.

Looking good Sonny.
That's some great looking butts CCGriller!!!! If I bring my Grandaughters can I have some of that grub ;D
Is that some Kielbasa I see? Have never made sausage before and I don't have any equipment yet. Can I just buy some Hillshire Farm Kielbasa, split them in half and smoke them? If so, what kind of smoke, at what temp, and for how long? Or is that being sacrilegious?
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/MISC/Mia%20Birthday%20Cook/SDC10910.jpg)
Got up at 8 this morning and the Butts were pushing 197*. They went into FTC at 8:30.
12 hour Turbo Cook on two Butts. Not Bad.
Finish pics from last nite.

I love to smoke "Store Bought" sausage. The Bradley adds a new dimension to it.
That is Hillshire (split). They got about 3 hours or so of smoke.
Wow that looks great CRgriller. I just realized how hungry I am!

Thanks CRgriller. Will be picking up some store bought Kielbasa and giving it a try.
At 10:00 this morning I started smoking a 12lb Brisket with Zach's Texas Brisket Rub
and a Gulden's Spicy Mustard slather. 5 hours of Oak to start, more smoke later.

After two Hours of smoke on the Brisket I added 3 Chuck Roast (2 3lber's and a 5 lb)
The two smaller chucks got John Henry Apple and John Henry Texas Brisket. The big
one got John Henry Pecan. Also did 15 links of Veron's Pork and Crawfish Sausage.

I have decided I have over done it and gonna take a Butt and the Large chuck roast with me to
funeral tomorrow for the family meal.
Very Nice! ;D
Spot on, CRG!
Very, very nice!
Dang! Nice Feast!

She is a good Girl ... I am the Lucky one.
Will finish posting pics tomorrow nite when I get back Home.
Good grief. How many people will be at a 10 year old party? Terrific as always Sonny. I have to get down and get some of the crawfish sausage. By the way, I did that SPAM a few weeks back, didn't get pics, but I was not a fan. Was very disappointed as I loved fried SPAM as a kid.....about 40 years ago!
Sorry to be a little late to this party, been a little under the weather the last few days. Sonny, that looks great. Gotta love the little Boudain Dancers!
You're killing me with that Veron's crawfish sausage. It all looks great as usual.
After what started out as a bad week, the ending was a good time.
Mia's party was at 2. Put the food in the oven to rewarm and relaxed for a while.
Son is the owner of this; Hank the Pig

Everyone was stuffed and had plenty leftovers to send Home with Guest.
I'm glad this week is over.
Old MacDonald had a farm E I E I O.
Great job CRG!! That's what we grandparents are for :) :) Life is good ...
You hit a home-run with those smokes. Awesome!
Looked good CRG. I could have used a plate of sausage.
Excellent Feast!!!
I used a little Apple juice and everything re-heated quite moist.
Had Carolina Style Sauce for the Pork and Apple/Chipotle Sauce
for the Brisket, all on the side.
Brought some smoked cheddar, marble, jalapeno, and swiss cheese
and it got hammered while folks were waiting for the kids to eat.
Heck Yeah an excellent job... one question however, how the heck did they get you out of the play castle to heat up the food??
Everything looks awesome!!

I have visions of the Smoking Monkey hanging off the side of that castle wall by one arm slapping his leg and making more noise than than that whole pack of screaming 10 year old girls!!

My vision's are similar to 10.5's -- would love to have been there and get THAT on video. Might have some future value. ;)
Great work Gramps!
Your a good Grandad!
Hank had better learn how to run fast!
It all looks great. Hmmm....if those goats ever have little goats, I can see some cabrito in your future......yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

The Play Castle!!!
I was thinking more like the walking food pets.
We, the (supposely) Adults, help knock the Air out of the Castle when they came to pick it up.
We each got $5. ;D
CRG, that wasn't "The Brisket" from Pete's Market was it?
