Back from vacation

[Wildcat]

Missed you folks.  Left on June 20 and returned today.  Air conditioner and then fridge went out in the RV.  Luckily I had extended warranty so out of pocket costs were below $500.  Otherwise a nice trip.  Now I need to decide what to smoke and go to the store.  Tired of eating out.

Probably need to start out with a short menu just to get back in the rythem.
12 racks of ribs for appetizer,
4 Butts
whole packer brisket, maybe too if you feel real ambitious.
6 Beercan chickens and 2 drambui smoked turkeys.  :o
Now for the main course..............Send out the invites    ;D  ;D

Nice to have you back Wildcat.  Glad most went well and most importantly any trip you return from is a good trip.

Welcome back.

What ever you decide to smoke, just make sure it's not enhanced pork. :)

[Wildcat]

Thanks Giz and Habs.  Darn Giz, that would last me until at least Thanksgiving!  :o

[Gizmo]

Depends on how many invites you send out.  LOL

welcome back WC, We got back last week from our 2 weeks.  Nothing major in the RV as for issues.  One tank vavle failed, but local RV repair replaced it onsite for us.

We had an AC issue last year, in follow-up it might have been a bad batch of Fans in the A/C.  Ours also under warranty last time. 

We are out of Warranty period now.

We did ribs when we got back.

I bought a leg of lamb like the wife wanted, but with all the rain (finally) have not been able to smoke the critter yet.  Not leaving the house Friday the 13th so if the rain will stay away for a short period I plan to do it up with apple.  This will be my second lamb and I hope it turns out as good as the first one did.  Unlike the last one, this one is without the bone.

Wildcat,

I'm looking forward to hearing about your results with that Lamb.  Leg O' Lamb is on my list of OBS To Dos.

Your results could move things up the priority list.

Thanks

Carter

Sure Cat, you had to mention the 13th thing didn't you.  To think I could have gone all day long and not put the 13th with Friday.   ;D

Time to put up a big umbrella and smoke on. :D  :D

[Wildcat]

Sorry about that Giz.  Unfortunately a big umbrella generally will not work here during the summer months.  We usually get some pretty gusty winds with the THUNDER storms here in Florida. I simply must get or buy a shelter for my little BS one day.  60 percent chance of rain here today and around here that generally tranlates to rain.

Hey Carter, the leg of lamb is real easy.  Our local food store has pre-marinated butterflied hunks.  The one that looked the best was almost 2 pounds (plenty for the 3 of us).  Great seasoning already there, i.e. lemon, garlic, parsley, etc.  Simply smoke at 190 F until 145 internal meat temp reached and FTC until you are ready to eat.

I would love to get some fresh lamb and season myself but pretty much impossible around here.
