225* and I feel Fine

did my first butter mopping and second batch of pears starting to rain now which is kinda a b!tch cause it makes it hard to maintain temp when the outside temp is fluctuating so much but I will persevere

second herb dusting in 45 min will take a meat progress pic then

 

1 am update still raining but




we are going strong

left to right roll call

6lb eye of round roast, 10 lb bottom round roast, 8lb pork shoulder

 

man am i hungry.


i think im the only one up with ya. so hows everything goin in your neck of the woods?

 

not too bad no more beer or I wont make it thru the night and morning and I got to go check my coals in a moment

 

2 am update pick mopped again nice and smokey added 2 more pears and a few more chunks of mesquite

 

sorry all I have to skip the 3 am meat pic the battery in my camera just died but another mopping and one more herb sprinkle 2 more pears and I jumped the heat up to about 230*

 

Man I know Id hate to be your neighbors, tryin to sleep with the smell floating in. Id be pounding your door down!

Next time give a heads up, Ill head down to join ya!

 

will do I usually do this about once every three to four months but I haven't done it since feb because the last one I did was about a 1/8th of a cow I cook it freeze it and then thaw it out periodically the last batch was close to 50 lbs and just finished off the last of it couple of weeks ago, when I get up the ambition I am going to build a brick shelf type smokehouse cause several of my neighbors said the will gladly buy the supplies and what not if I smoke meat for them and it is not much more trouble to smoke alot than it is a little. when I start that project I will be sure to post it here

 

4 am meat pic these are really starting to look nice about another hour or so and we are all done with generating smoke and into 6 hours just keping the heat nice and even

 

 

5 am update pic we're humming along just fine mopped them flipped them, and we are halfway home. 7 short hours from now I will be fast asleep, face down in a plate of wonderfully smoked meat

 

6 am boy do I need a smoking buddy so this could be done in shifts

defiantly going to be dragging *** later today
