I am happy to report that the 130# of Pork we cooked for two different parties was a hit!
We had the new Spicewine smoker full. 130# of pork, 3 slabs of ribs, 6 fatties and Solidkick brought a brisket over that we cooked for him.
It was a beautiful afternoon, almost 80 degrees, couldn't ask for better smoking weather. Then the evening came temps started to drop and storms moving in. Tornado warnings and then watches in effect. About 10 Mr. Kick came by to pick up his brisket and Heaven let loose. I mean it rained it's ass off and the wind blew like crazy. We were getting a little concerned as to what our temps would do. Finally after a frantic run outside to look for funnel clouds, because it became eerily quiet and some of us thought that we heard a freight train off in the distance, we checked the temp and she only dropped about 4 degrees and climbed right back to about 230 and held. It was incredible!
The pork came off about 3 am and was wrapped and coolered, then we fell asleep until about 8:30 and started pulling pork and saucing.
Calls from both parties on Monday confirmed everyone was happy and I think we might even get another cook or two out of one of the guys!
Warmed up some pulled pork last night for my son and a couple of his buddies. They loved it! One little boy asked me, how comes you can cook so good? I told him just lots of practice and good friends who are always willing to help!
