Starting the smoke bright and early...Butts, chicken, and sausage on the menu.

Here are the butts...rubbed and injected and waiting for temp to come up:

At the last minute, I remembered that I was going to do a test smoke for beef barbacoa:

Chuck rubbed with salt, then a chili sauce made from New Mexico, Chipotle, and Guajillo chiles, garlic, and onion.

The event setup:

Nobody talks about it, but there is a lot of cleaning up to do afterwards...

We took in $1,400 in donations for an ala carte menu that included pulled pork, shredded chicken, sausage, slaw, beans, greens, and dessert.

[Titch]

Cook looks great mate, not sure what the cause is ,but, Good on you all

 

[Czarbecue]

Man, that barbacoa looks a lot like pulled pork. What type of cooker is that?

 

[keeperofsecrets]

@Czarbecue-I use the A1 Competition Smoker from Custom Pits in Watkinsville, GA.
Day 2, I put some of the barbacoa on the griddle with a little ancho chili powder, scrambled a few eggs and put the mess in a tortilla with some homemade salsa.
