Smoker Day
Posted By Russ Emerson on January 2, 2005 at 1:01 pm
I was going to cook barbecue yesterday, New Year’s Day, I swear I was. But due to circumstances beyond my control, the smoker didn’t get lit.
Well, OK, the circumstances were entirely within my control — I overslept, and thus didn’t get the smoker lit in the morning. A morning lighting is required to allow enough time for the smoker to do it’s job properly if you want to actually eat before, say, 9pm.
But I really needed the sleep.
Last night I made sure to set my alarm clock. As a result, my own little Vesuvius has already been belching smoke for a couple of hours today, and there’s a nice slab of brined and spice-rubbed pig inside, giving its all for my gustatorial delight.
Maybe I should spend my free time today learning to make good hushpuppies.
Update, 7:30pm: Yuuummmm.
I have to say, you’re just totally WRONG to supply pictures and written documentation of such good eats and not share!!
guess I’ll go look in the fridge now for leftovers from last night… *sigh* what DID I have last night?…. *mumble*
Glad to read you didn’t singe yourself this time!
