I admire your setup as much as your smoke.

Nice, very nice indeed.

Well played, GusRobin, well played.

Good luck and slow smoking,

Pachanga

I am thinking this song is pretty close to the way we all feel at the end of a good smoke, and after eating the spoils of our Labor. I know I have said it more than once kicking back with a Adultry Beverage after stuffing my face with some good grub. Gotta listen to the whole song. This is for you my friends Enjoy your weekend!!

Done for the day:
Here is the drippings I collected in the 2 pans that were on the bottom shelf- into the fridge.

After a while I took it out when the fat separated.


The leftover drippings after the fat was removed and strained out. Great for au jus or stock for gravy.


Butts are done


15 lbs (starting weight) of butt pulled


Bagged for fridge - will make into smaller vac sealed bags later


Brisket done


Sliced



Brisket bagged and with the pulled pork-ready for fridge -will also vac seal later



6 lbs of pastrami - gonna wrap and fridge and slice tomorrow



less some for a quick  quality control check -nothing fancy just roll, pastrami, mustard and mayo


Now I'm done and ready to further hydrate and watch football for the rest of the day.

Will post somemore when I do the turkey on Monday.

GR,
That all looks great but you just killed me with the pastrami.  My kind of guy, pastrami, bread, mustard, mayo, done.  You are going to force me to go to Sam's tomorrow and buy some corned beef briskets aren't you?

Jan's gonna kill me. :o

My wife always complains " everytime I open this fridge it is full of more meat." Of course this seems to always be followed by  a sweet voice saying" Soooooo, what are smoking for me today?"

Nice 10.5 !  I think you got it right.  The reference to the T-top Cutlass Supreme brings back a LOT of good memories.  Hope you and everyone else here have a great holiday weekend!

[KyNola]

GR,
Jan is the same way.  "What are we smoking this weekend" is pretty much her standard line anymore.

Great tune!!!
But, what's with the audience?
I expected them to be at cocktail tables doing shots, but they were lined up like all proper like Sunday school (?)

I think they are at a radio station and he played a song after an interview.

One at a time, the rest are on deck in the fridge. I only drink polite beer - they all calmly wait their turn.
