Ok, after a very hairy Saturday evening with bad weather rolling in, I got the tarp hung over the smoker MacGuyver style using anything I could use as a post. I was so afraid that a good wind would knock it all down. I was so glad yesterday morning to find that, despite the wind gusting up, my contraption was holding. As the rain came down, I managed to keep my smoker dry the entire day. Temp control was a little trickier because of the weather, but I managed to keep it between 225 & 250. I smoked 2 racks of Memphis style ribs, 1 rack of Buffalo style ribs, a ham sausage fatty stuffed with M. Jack and pepperoni and covered in hot Cheezits as well as make 2 cheddar & cream cheese cheese balls covered in chopped pecans and I popped some parm & olive oil covered baby reds in the oven. Overall, things turned out good. We had a few ppl that weren't able to make it to the house this year. Before everyone left, we finished off 2 racks of ribs, 1 cheeseball and between me, my wife and my HS buddy James, we devoured the fatty in about 10 mins. I managed to get 6 pics of the day. The first is the smoker warming up under the tarp. The 2nd one is my lazy assistant napping on the job. The 3rd one is the fatty I made. The 4th one is during the devouring of the fatty. The wife didn't care much for me taking a pic of her still in her Publix apron :lol: . The 5th one is a pic of the Memphis ribs I made. The last one is a pic of the Buffalo style ribs. I wasn't too sure how they'd turn out. I though they turned out good myself. It was the first rack that got finished off.
