Got my first picnic on...never did one before, not sure why. I know they're tasty so I'm excited for this one.
Ok this is a strange cook for me for many reasons. For one thing I've never attempted a cook like this, I'm using 70% apple wood sticks from the orchard with 30% briquettes. (the pic is very deceiving on that) but it's easily a 70/30 split...smitty style. lol
I'm using my jimmy (jumbo joe) cooker with the cajun bandit and I forgot that the lid is so shallow on the Joe...and because of that the bone part that sticks out on the picnic is hitting the lid. So what I did was use a couple of pieces of kindling to prop the lid open.
Temps wise I'm showing 450-500* on the therm which is below the dripping pan and am cooking about 300-325* up at the picnic. The last pic doesn't do it justice but the color is looking very good. I'm thinking if i need to refuel later I'm just going with 100% mini splits. The smoke is invisible at this point which I'm not going to argue with ...it did take a while to thin out though which wasn't a big deal because there's so much exhaust.
Oh I forgot, I'm using the Wild thang rub which is a savory/peppery flavor...Should be good! I'll be updating as the cook progresses. Thanks for tuning in. :smile:
I lit the basket on the edge
