Okay,
Last night, I got the Chubby outta my office (basement) and on the deck, and the seasoning process began:
1-Cleaning
2-Initial burn
3-Canola oil (I'd already bought it Andy) application
4-Another short burn
Nice & clean, & ready to go. After the burn/oil application/burn, I was ready for my first cook the next day (today). I had decided to do pork butt for my first cook, so I went inside and made the injection, trimmed down the butts, and injected them.
I'd decided on a pretty straight Mixon injection, but after tasting it, decided to hit it with just a touch of ginger. Good decision.
So, what rub would I use?
Decided to keep it all MM, and broke out my Honey Muney, and set it aside so I could rub the butts (that just doesn't sound right, eh? :-D) the next morning.
With friday night's work complete, it was time to watch the Wings/Flames game. Wings win in the shootout... WOO HOO!
Set the alarm for 5am (today), and got up, and started with my prep.
By 5:50am, I had my fire going, the guru adapter installed w/guru, water pan loaded, and the 2 butts I'm cooking rubbed.
And the snow began.
Now, it had snowed during the night: maybe an inch. So part of my prep was sweeping down the deck. But suddenly, it began again.
But I'm determined: ain't gonna be no oven cook for me. I was prepared:
A baggie over my NanoQ, and time to pull out my secret weapon:
I had ordered the Backwood's BBQ Umbrella: only $299.00... a steal.
So, I'm now about 2.5 hours in, and watchin her smoke from the comfort of my family room.
Only another 10-11 hours to go.
