Thanks guys. So far, so good. Tasty bacon and good performance.

A little corn which I wrapped in foil with butter and some rub....

And my messy and not picture friendly BLCM's. They were good, but I was more interested in eating than taking pictures.

I shut her down for tonight. Tomorrow I go to U-Haul to rent a trailer and pick up the Lang 36 about 100 miles away. Fun stuff.

I had choked it off last night and this shows the ramp down. The ball valve and smoke stack are closed. I will check later to see if there is anything left in terms of lump.

Working on the first real cook on the Assassin 28, a lone 7lb bone in butt. Trimmed of excess fat, rinsed, injected with ACV + Apple Juice + SM Sweet Seduction Rub. I then rubbed it liberally with SM Sweet Seduction and left it in a half steam pan which I will use for duration of the cook. Will foil at 165 which won't be too much longer as the butt is at 146 degrees right now.

Rubbed and injected:

Onto the Smoker (Apple/Pecan/Oak mix):

Sweet TBS:

~2.5 hours into the cook:

Done. Total time of six hours at 250 degrees. Nice smoke ring and good flavor. I did not use a lot of smoking wood - I need to experiment with this aspect of the cooker. It has a nice clean smoke flavor that is not over powering.

Started at ~9:15 AM and pulled at ~3:15 PM at a temp of 201 degrees:

Sauced with some Blues Hog red:

The Assassin 28 and Stoker performed flawlessly. It doesn't get any easier than this.
