So what is everyone cooking for the 4th of July?

I have four days off for the holiday and I am going to make it a smoking 4th of July! I am going to be doing ribs, a chuck roast and chicken thighs! It has been a little while since I have had time to smoke anything so I am excited! Since I have 4 days I think I might even grill a few ribeye steaks as well! Should be some good eats!!
 
Doing my first brisket for about 9 months. Hope I remember how. Should be done in about 9 months - right?
 
i am going to try to do my first brisket ever. trying to decide on how as the more i look around, the more little variations on cooking i find. looks like most will foil, either after 4-5 hours or at around 160*, then bring it to 190-195 and then into a cooloer to rest. does that sound right since you have done one?

That depends on how big your meat is... Figure about a month per pound and you'll be OK.

I have two briskets I'm going to cook, but I don't know which day yet. Weather forecast is for thunderstorms every evening until Tuesday, so I may wait until then.
 
Butts; lots om 'em. Veritable butt hoarding. $0.97/lb
 
Butts, chicken, steaks (on the grill, of course), home made sausage - maybe.

Happy fourth, ya'all!
 
doin a butt and a rack of spares in the big smoker for me and the fiance, I did find me a brisket for 79cents a pound, regularly 1.28 a pound but walmart matched united. gonna do some ABTs and some roasted corn as well. will freeze the brisket for another day unless i got froggy and cook it tomorrow. but it way to much for just me and her. anyone got a foodsaver they wanna send me ?
 
Well, starting Sunday I'm cooking for the CBJ school in Lake Placid. I've already cooked 4 briskets and 6 butts. Tonight I'm cooking 24 slabs ribs and 4 more very small flats.

Sunday is reheating and chicken day, 20 breasts, 30 legs and 90 thighs. I have a ton of help to do the 108 boxes.

On Monday I'm cooking 50 slabs ribs for the kids Q and then giving a cooking demonstration in the evening.

Then the easy part, a KCBS contest. Next weekend Asbury
 
I am doing a 10lb brisket, 2lb fatty, and a pot of beans tomorrow. I am off the weekend, work Monday, and off Tuesday, so no long weekend for me.
 
4 days. Gonna mow the lawn tonight. Then tomorrow morning I need to burn a 2 year old brush pile before the kids figure out it's there and want to have a party. Chores done. The sky's the limit. Let the experiments begin. Definately several versions of eggs. Probably a few shots at beans. Maybe go wild and grill some veggies and fruit. Annual family reunion at Brother Dave's on Tuesday. I just love long weekends.
 
Just stopped by Sam's to check prices, they had ribs $1.93/lb by the case. I think that's 3 or 4 cryo's of 3 racks each. So, I'm thinkin' I'll pick up a case on sunday and prep for smokin' on Mon. I'll just load up the BSKD with ribs I can hardly wait :mrgreen: May try a pot of beans too. Mmm getting hungry already.:cool:
 
I hope the weather holds up wherever everyone is and you all have a great cooking weekend...

Sean and I are doing our last practice run for Grill Kings... We're gonna try to put everything together just like the contest...It's gonna be a full two day cook in the backyard (Sat afternoon until Sunday afternoon). Everything we need will be outdoors, only going inside for the bathroom...
