Texas Turtle
Take a breath!
Man, it'll be a miracle if these butts ever get finished. I'm cooking six butts on the big WSM for a church dinner tonight. Last night, I loaded up the WSM with a mixture of KBB, RO lump and pecan chunks before I went to bed. Put the cover on the thing because the TV weather bimbo said there was a "slight" chance of rain, which usually means not even a decent dew around here. Woke up at 2:30 to the sound of a raging severe thunderstorm with monster winds and a bit of hail. Didn't last long, so I went back to bed until 4:30. Walked outside to feed the critters and found the WSM blown over and the charcoal ring contents spilled in the wet grass. Picked the thing up, cleaned out and disposed of the wet charcoal, moved the whole shootin' match into the mouth of the garage door to get out of the wind and rain, which had returned by then. Refueled and lit the chimney starter inside one of my small grills and went inside to make coffee. Came back out 30 minutes later to find that the fire starter I put under the chimney had gone out. Finally got the WSM going and plugged in the IQUE110, which promptly stuck in "open lid" mode (after three perfect cooks in a row). It's 10:00 and the IT probe says the meat is hitting 100. I should still have time to finish by 4:30 when I need to start for the church to pull and serve. I hope. :doh:
