So my wife says.... (Pics)

Smoke on Badger Mountain · Jul 30, 2015

I was reading Hotch's post on "pig cakes" Link below. the other day, and my wife looks over my shoulder and says "that looks good you should make those. You know how much I like crab cakes" And then one thing leads to another. We were at the grocery store last night to pick up some pork among other things (it's 1.3 hrs to the store one way) Then I saw beef spares on a sweet deal so into the cart they went. Then I saw the sale on ground beef. So again into the cart. After that my wife says, "I could really use some pre-cooked chicken to make salads with. So, chicken breast into the cart. Finally, I get to the pork. Can't find the Boston butt I want (my regular meat supplier is 4.5 hrs away) But there was a three pack on little picnic's there so that will become the pig cakes. Anyway those are the events that bring us to today's cook.

Will be cooking on my 48" offset on a mix of hickory and mesquite. @ around 225*

I will post photos as the cook progresses.

Hotch's brilliant idea. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214786

Is that chicken going on too?

Smoke on Badger Mountain · Jul 30, 2015

Chicken

Here is the chicken. My wife asked me to package a bunch of boneless, skinless breasts for salads and sandwiches. Sounded good to me.

Cook looks like it turned out good!
Is your offset a RF?

Nope. Old school stick. With 2 stacks it can be used that way. But the stack closest to the FB is used mostly to spill off heat if needed.

Rednecks are hilarious

And here we go

All of the meat is off and the pit is cooling down. Here are some more pics. Wish I had full Boston butts, Ribs were on about 20min too long but flavor was spot on. Chicken came out great, Fatty exploded. But all in all I was happy at the end of the day. Thanks for looking.

Ya murdered the apples, all the rest looks good.jk:clap2:

Smoke on Badger Mountain · Jul 30, 2015

Most of what was cooked today has been vac sealed for work night dinner and such. The ribs are gone and some of the pork has been set aside for "pig cakes" (thanks Hotch) the reason this whole cook got started in the first place.

I'm not exactly sure why you said that. But as a confirmed Redneck I can roll with that.
