[Hawgsnheifers]

It's 22 degrees and have the Gas Passer converted into a smoker to get some Brats ready for tomorrow Osage City Kansas, Wood cuttin Mini Bash. Were gonna take down a 70 foot pecan tree and divide her up and then munch on some good "Q".

Here is the porn... I'll post pics of tomorrow activities. Enjoy...

Wood for cutting:

1 big pecan tree
1 large maple stump
2 loads of large, very large oak chunks
1 load of maple logs

I have so much wood lined up, it's almost criminal.

I usually work weekends so had to use a vacation day.

If you're gonna be close, come on by. You should be able to hear the sweet sounds of saws.

I thought about that and I think it would be fun. Let's talk about it today.

Well Brothers, I have to say that trying to smoke meat on a gas passer sucks. I had the Brats on from 6:30 pm last night until about 10 pm at 250 and shielded from the direct heat. I went through about 8 chuncks of Apple wood. It smelled great but the brat skins were tough. They didn't snap like they do off the real smoker and there is hardly a smoke ring, which is a puzzle to me because the gas passer was spewing a bunch of it.

So now were having pot luck, croc pot brats. Cut them up at 5:30 this morning and poured in a bottle of a local sauce from Three Little Pigs BBQ. It's the sweet KC, then about a cup of their sweet KC Chipolte with a few tablespoons of my own rub, some smoked kosher salt I did a while back along with some onion flakes. I'll let it slow cook until I leave, then when we get down to Puppyboy's place, we can plug er back in on low. It's about 9am and they taste pretty damn good, so 6 more hours in the croc they should taste awsome. I guess you really can cover up so-so Q with other chit and pass it off as eatable, but I'll let you Brothers be the judge of that.

Here's what they look like now.
