Snowapalooza..... Butt pics

[KingofTheCoals]

In a state of emergency. :roll: .... Feel for the folks without power. Freezing rain and snow all night has got KC in a lock down.

Figured it's a great day to smoke some butt. :whoo: Will upload the finished product in about 8 hours.

Picked up some bone in butt from costco. 1.59lb... God I love that place. Rubbed down and on the smoker at 10am. Royal Oak lump, with apple and peach chunks for the smoke.

That's just not fair ... why can't we get snowed in down in SC so I can cook all day?

I bet you wouldn't be too upset, spending a day with that beautiful Lang. I've been wanting a nice stick burner.

[Cack]

I love it. Cooks like a champ

I have 2 days that I rolled over from last year that I have to use before the end of next month, so I'm going to take them on a Thursday and Friday and cook all day both days.

[Oldbob]

L:ooking good so far....bet it turns out Great too !!

:tsk::tsk::tsk: We dont need no snow, just call in sick or something :wink:

[Bob in St. Louis]

Yea, I'm not real happy about this. You people in KC are hoggin' all the good snow.

It's raining in STL right now and the forcast is five more days of sloppy slush mixed with rain. With temps near 40, there's no chance any of it will stick. So while you're "stuck" at home BBQing drinking cocktails, I'll be stuck at work looking at threads like this one.

I sure hope you're happy with yourself. Bah.

:tsk::tsk::tsk: We dont need no snow, just call in sick or something :wink:

Haha I don't really want any snow at this point. Nobody down here can drive it, and everything shuts down.

At this point, I just want some more cold weather so the mosquittos and other bugs die and aren't as bad as they've been the last 2 years.

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

That snow looks like it is butt deep.

[SchatzSea]

^^ Deeper...(depending how tall you are :))

Fortunately (???) I've got the capability to work from here. Took a break to clear the snow off the drive, and the smokers...lighting a fire would be a great way to spend today. Enjoy!

Well its afternoon, got the drive cleared. Time for some shine.:yo:

After 3.5hrs butt is at 162, smoker at 264. Right on time for a 6pm dinner. Threw another butt on for my neighbor. He brought a snow blower over (said he couldn't stand watching me break my back). Now it's shine and cherry coke zero time. Life is good.

I load the Akorn with half a bag of royal oak so 4-5lbs. After a 8hr cook I still had a third left. Not bad with the temp at 27-32 degrees with snow and sleet coming down all day. I held 245-275 all day. Wind was gusty.

Glad it turned out. On my boston butts, I usually pull them off at 195-205 internal temp. I find the fat is rendered and it pulls very easily. When I smoke a pork loin I goto 150-165.

So, I'm wondering. I've been watching Moonshiners recently and noticed that my local Sam's club carries the brand you have. Is it a close representation of 'shine?

Curious Yankees want to know!

Real moonshine is illegal (140proof). I've had it and it wasn't really enjoyable. That particular brand I was drinking today is at a gas station on the way out to my house. The apple pie is the best. Smooth sipping, warm or chilled.
I'm usually a beer man, but today I thought... what the hell, snowed in.... might as well.

They sell that stuff at all the liquor stores in the south. It is nothing like moonshine and nothing but a PR stunt to capture all the moonshine hype right now.

Same with all these people making moon shine these days taking ever clear and mixing in apples and sugar and boiling the hell out of it. Moonshine is not made with everclear and other 190 proof alcohols that you then mix down.

[Bob in St. Louis]

By the way....."King of the Coals" is an awesome moniker.

Real 'Shine tastes like lighter fluid.....not that any of you would have any lighter fluid around as a point of referance. ;)
I've seen this liquor at the gas station, and am curious, but wasn't willing to spend the $20 to try it.
For real moonshine, I've got friends that live in Kentu.....oh, nevermind.

Care to share a recipe with a Yankee??? :biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:

[GrillBillie_D]

Very nice!! I'm gonna get me a butt today...and look for some of that Ole Smoky :wink:

Dont know any recipes, lol.

True moonshine is not bought in a store, nor made with alochol that is bought from a store. Ive had multiple people give me apple pie flavored mixture in a mason jar claiming to be "real" moonshine and I put the crap in the freezer and a day laters its frozen solid. Most of its nothing more then a high alochol content wine made with very high proof store bouth alcohol and boiled down with fruits and sugar.

These packaged mason jars you see in Liqour stores are tested recipes from large distilleries. Technically any distillery company could purchase a license and start making what they refer as moonshine legally.

The best part about real moonshine is the thrill becasue you never know exactly what your getting as far as taste and alcohol content. Real moonshine is probably never less then a 100 proof as well.

[JandJbuidasmoker]

Sounds like a great day! I'd want more snow if I were you! lol
