morning Butt pulled and wrapped

11 hrs at higher temp.

second butt? you say...

yup, the monster Costco package was cut in two. No butts the better.

Grill cleaning time.. after two full days of running, the chimp seems to have done very well.

Prepping for homecoming tailgate on Friday. Made a batch of cheddar jalapeño and maple apple havarti sausage. Pair of prime briskets ready roll. 

[swt61]

As a gay man I'm happy to see that a bunch of dangling sausages is equally appetizing to us all. I feel as though we've found some common ground here.

I'm a little disappointed not to see any rump roast though.

8AM pst start. Continuing to test the grill with butts. This time, putting a 9lb bone in butt on the grilla.

[swt61]

I like butts.

[robm321]

But do you have a 9lb bone to put on it?

[guzziguy]

Careful what you ask for?

Everyone in Atlanta has a Big Green Egg, as the company is based here. I might get one. How do we feel about Kamado cooking in general?

[n_maher]

Almost bought one, did a bunch of research, if I was going to it'd be a Primo.

Second run at smoked salmon - so I did two... 

cured for about 16 hours - smoked @185F for just under 3 hours - internal 145F

I hope that I got the salt level right - was too high on the first try. I would sample but I am full of pork belly right now...

@mikeymad

Shouldn't have had so many veggies ...

[mikeymad]

I couldn't wait too long - just had a sample - super yummy - super happy.
