somebody shut me the fark up.
Just completed a marathon 11 hour drive from Fort Wayne, IN... had a fantastic time with family during the days leading up to tomorrow's High School Graduation ceremonies.
Thought about harassing Fwismoker, but my own kin made sure I kept the fires lit.
Fired up the "outlaws'" smoker and whipped up a batch of my smoked wings, and a grilled batch of Jamaican Jerk wings using Walkerswood seasoning.
Once the family and friends were placated with wings, I decided to wrap up the visit with some baby backs from Jamison Meats.
Not only was I impressed with the wings we purchased on Weds, but I couldn't believe that they'd already removed the membrane from the back of the ribs when I got 'em home on Thurs!
Deciding to experiment a little with some lump, I grabbed a new bag of Cowboy Lump charcoal and used several chunks of hickory during the 4 hour smoke. The 1/2 pint of hard cider that I used as braising liquid when I foiled 'em for 45 min probably didn't hurt, either.
I tried both the bend and the toothpick tests (I'd just been reading the thread when it was time to take them off the smoker)... and neither was a perfect judge. I will say that I have significantly more experience with the bend test, and it gave me good results this time.
My mother-in-law's homemade banana pudding sure was delicious.... and this tasty beverage wrapped up the evening:
Hope this finds you all well and planning some deliciousness this weekend.
Kind regards,
Shadow
