Wake-n-bake Shirley Fab style...Cook follow...pron...

[Beentown]

More future pron anyway. Just getting started this AM. Doing a cook for a friend of a friend's wedding reception. Figured anyone interested could follow along. There won't be any sliced pics probably as they will be doing that on site.

5 - 20 pound PRIME briskets
4 - racks of St. Louis ribs
6 - bone in turkey breasts
1 - full pork belly
2 - pork butts

That fire in the box is a good place to start. Will be following . Good luck today. I will be throwing on some short ribs and some spares in a little while on my Shirley.

Finally enough light to get a pic of the big meats...briskets and butts.

Looking good from here.

I still have to inject and rub the birds. Also need to season the ribs and pork belly. I usually don't rub pork ahead of time because it can get "hammy" tasting too me.

My oasis for most of the day. I was lazy and used the wheeler to haul my cherry wood.

Looks great so far. Keep us updated.

Sweet rig you've got. Nice to see you put her to work.

Nothing like chilling out and manning a fire ... Smelling the smoke... Gives me time to reflect and meditate....stick burners are not for everybody but I love them..... Great start to a great cook...

This is looking really good

Pork belly is on....

The brisket and pork butt are moving right along...

Doesn't take long for 20# briskets to take up rack space.

It gets round two in about two hours. Ribs, turkeys and a couple fatties (for me).

Costco. Case cost is $2.47/pound here. There is usually one 18-21 pounder in each case. They will break them open and pull the big ones for me.

They are all wrapped and just waiting for them to finish.
