Smoke & Beers
is Blowin Smoke!
So were getting ready for our very first comp...TTD and me...and we are going to do our practice run next weekend.
The tools:
We've got 2 UDS's (2 racks each) which we are both very comfortable cookin' on...
A Traeger Jr. that I won in a contest a couple of weeks ago that I'll admit...I haven't spent much time with, but the few things I did cook on it I wasn't that impressed...
And a buddy of mine is going to loan me one of his Large BGE's to use. I'm getting it this weekend to mess with so I'll have a little experience with it before the test run.
In addition, we'll have 2 Weber OTG's if we need them...
So we're thinking about doing the butts (3), briskets (2) and St. Louis spares (3 or 4 on the top racks) on the drums...and doing the chicken on the BGE. Also considering doing some of the ribs on the BGE...but will that be possible while doing the chicken on it as well? Anyone? How many St. Louis cut Spares can you fit on an Egg? I'm thinking we'll probably leave the Traeger Jr. at home, since I don't want to go through another whole new learning curve on top of using the BGE at this point. BTW, no guru with the Egg.
So what's everyone's thoughts? Be brutally honest... we can take it...
