Good Friday?

[The Woodman]

rolled the Klose outta the garage for the first time since 11/01 last night.She sat under an EZ UP in a cold rain all night. Put 5 brisket flats on at 5:00 am. 42 degrees and cold rain/fog abounds! A good mix of oak and cherry burning now. Pit is about 220. Getting ready to smoke a Monticristo # 1 "Hecho en Habana,: courtesy of La Cigar Bodega in Greater Toronto, and drinks a cup of Huehuetenago coffee courtesy of "Second Cup," also of Toronto!
Nine racks of spares going on in a bit. Texas BBQ Rub on the briskets, Wolfe Rub, on the ribs. I am cooking for a "Big Game"(no trademark infringment there!:icon_smil ) Party and the weather Sat and Sun. here is calling for a "winter storm advisory! Today seems like the best day! I'll cook the beans, make the slaw , and reheat the meat on Sunday. Not making much money on this one. It is at the local smoke shop where about 20 of us are regulars. Charging $12/person. I've already gotten a job for 75 in May resultant of this job.
I like to take small winter gigs like this for that reason. You usually get a second, larger one from them.
Well, pictures later. Woodreaux

Hey Woody........

All I can say is "I wish it was me cooking!!" I told the boss yesterday that I had a bad case of "rib fever" and needed the day off, when the winds were calm and the high was 58*, he just laughed at me, I was serious!.......now the wind's from the west at about 20 mph and the windchill is about 20*........eat a half a slab of ribs for me!!

Update. Took me from 5 am to 7 pm, but by gum I'm done. The Wolfe Rub is really quite good! My wife said they were the best ribs I have done. (They were overcooked.) Briskets cooked long for their size. About 12 hours for 6-7 lb cuts! I recommend Wolfe Rub. I love Texas BBQ Rub too and used it on the briskets, but wanted to try Larry's stuff. I also bought some duck breasts and smoked them for smoked duck and andouille gumbo tomorrow? I took 30 photos cause I was bored. Not much of finished food though cause my hands are always too greasy! Woodman

GREAT picture album.

But I'm sorry, I need some splaining.

You have the stacks that say made by Klose, but then I see an adress on the rig for Gator Pits?

Well, it was kind of a joke. Right after I picked up the pit, we went to a cookoff in which Ritchie Robin ,owner of Gator was cooking . I had been going back and forth trying to decide whether to buy a Klose or Gator. I bought the Klose, but agreed to put the Gator sticker on it!
