HAPPY 4th? Whats in your bradley today? Heck--whats in your cooler?

I just put 14 pounds of spare ribs on the smoker. I used my rub, a buddy's competition rub, and then let my g.f. try her hand in it a bit for the first time.  We are having a little get together across the street.  The neighbor is charcoal smokin a deer shoulder, brisket, chicken, and I think a Bud Light can may have fallen in there too.  Its not his fault, he has been up since 4 am.  

As for my ribs--My cabinet temp is moving slow, as my meat was not exactly room temp.  I think the main reason for that is I may have overslept a bit and the main reason for that is due to a few brewskies last night while getting the ribs ready. Oops!  Side note--I am pretty sure we are in the middle of a monsoon too, so I am in my garage with a wind break and a fan blowing out the door.  Ahhhh!  What we will do for some good meat.

While that is building up some heat, I am going to go prepare a kick arse tomato and mozzarella and sweet Italian dressing salad.  And I got conned into making some homemade ice cream--never done that before.  Guess while I am at it, I will stock the cooler full of Natty and some Bud Light too and I am making a great Parrot Bay and pineapple concoction for the 3 gallon thermos--seriously I mean you do not want kids drinking beer.  :o ;)

So what is in your smoker today?  or your cooler?

Btw--Call first if you decide to stop by, cause that is my puppy standing guard over some of his ribs.

p.s. I can not figure out how to add my pics, so I guess you guys will just have to use your imagination.

Sounds like a great time for sure. I have about 20 chicken wraps in and will finish them in the Big Easy.

To add pictures here is a link that will help you out....

Great looking!  I did two briskets for the fam today.  Gotta love how the serving plate just gets demolished.  Happy 4th to all!

Had Fri. off, so Thur. night put a brisket in the smoker. Ready for lunch.

While that was cooking I made up some sausage Thur. night and in the smoker when the brisket was done.
