Boys Weekend

[lumpy]

Okay so i've been talking about this for weeks now and it finally happend.
Here are some pics.......a whole bunch turned out blurry...must have been the hops and barley portion of the night ;)


ABT's, bacon wrapped, tequila marinated shrimp, bacon wrapped vodka marinated scallops



Brisket with my own BBQ sauce (the best I've ever made)


Ribs


Smoked beans........mmmmmm!


Pulled  Pork in Buns with coleslaw and BBQ sauce


All of the goodies on the table


Desert!

I won't be smoking for a while, I have tons of leftovers in the freezer, but.......... ;)I've said that before!

I wasn't sure if the boys would like the eggs. I went through 24 eggs for 8 guys ;D. Glad they did not stay the night ;)

Amen Brother!!!! That is one impressive spread for "The Boys". I myself didn't see one blurry picture at all. Must have been the drool factor overriding the blurry.

[lumpy]

The blurry pics were of the abt's when they were finished. Camera in one hand, abt in my mouth and beer in the other hand.......just too damm busy ;D

thanks guys!

Please tell Us More about the Shrimp and Scallops and the marinade prcoess this sounds Good.

Also do you NOT use your water bowl? Looks like the pucks just fall onto the foil lining and turn to ash.

[lumpy]

I was in a hurry to take a picture of the ABT's while the smoker was nice and hot and the reason the water bowl was not in the smoker yet.........my hands were full. Right after I put in the ABT's came the bowl of very hot water.
The ashes on the bottom pan came from the left over from my last smoke that I did not use Bubba's and had ashes left on the slider.

As far the shrimp, I marinated them for 24 hours in a vacuumed packed container with what I call my margarita mix (tequila and lime mix). I used the same process with the scallops (bay scallops) except I used Absolute vodka.

Both were extremely tasty and in both you could taste the hootch ;D. If I were to change anything, the next time I would not use vodka. It gave the scallops a little bit of a bite to them. Next time i might use a vodka with fruit taste to it.

Thanks Lumpy for the info on the shrimpa and scallops. I wasn't trying to bust your chops on the water bowl just curious.

[lumpy]

I never noticed the missing bowl in the picture until you pointed it out.
Good thing though...there might be some FNG's out there that think some of us smoke without the water bowl :D
