I am ever in awe of this place and of the comradery that we share. Thank You All For Letting Me Be A Part Of The BBQ Brethren.
Now, How Did I Celebrate My 2 Year Anny?
Why By Smoking All Night Of Course!!!!! Let The Pron Begin!!!!!!

Picked up a few goodies at Market for Smoking, 14lb Brisket, 7lb Pork Butt, some bacon to make ABTs and some JD Maple Sausage for Fatties..

Prepped by trimming some excess fat from the brisket and rubbed down with Olive Oil and Magic Dust for the Brisket and Stubbs BBQ Rub for the Butt


Got The DrumPit Out. I modded from the Wheels I had Before, which were hard to roll on gravel to Solid Rubber Racing Slicks. My DrumPit is now 30% faster!!!!:biggrin:


I'm using a mixture of Royal Oak Lump and KF with some Hickory Chunks


Got About 17 Briqs of Kf in the Chimney...Fire Good!!!!!:biggrin:

Placed them real purdy ontop of coal in basket...


Now Waiting on the Sweet Blue to Happen.....


There it is!!!....


Time to Damper Down!!!!


Lately I've taken to keeping all the Nipples slightly open. I feel it gives the Fire a more even burn....


Meats are On!!!!!


Clamped Down For The Night....Keeps the Neighbors..urr, I mean the Raccoons out....


I got the Meat on around 8:30-9:00ish.....This is the Days last light...see the rain bands? Yep....Rained on me some...


When the Day goes it gets Dark Quick here in God's Country!!!!!

Brisket is @ 188* Butt is @ 198* I'll have more pix when things get done..The Drumpit Ran well through the Night, I checked on it every 6 hours or so and gave it a good shake to knock down the ash build up. I need a nap, but it's a Labor Of Love......:tongue:
