This Weekends Smoking Fun

[certified106]

Things at work have been CRAZY and I have barely had time to breath so when Saturday rolled around I needed to destress. I rolled out my smoker to play with my new PID controller. I have found that cooking Q is one of the best ways for me to relax of course that may be tied hand in hand with the beer that gets consumed :p

This butt was almost 11 lbs and took 13 hours to smoke but man o man was it delicious :D !! The PartyQ performed flawlessly and I can't wait to start doing overnight cooks with it!

Getting ready to go on at 4:45am

PartyQ hooked up and working great!

Looks great, but your title fooled me. I thought it was goin' to be about the big pot smokin' party in Colorado that was broken up by blacks shootin' people!

[JFootin]

Man, that's cruel posting such pics for all of us to drool over! Where do you live? Can you pack some of that in dry ice and overnight it to me! :rolleyes:

[Bawanna]

And does Bawanna get an invite for dinner, NOOOOOOO!

That does indeed look mighty tasty, gotta go empty my drool cup. Good thing I wear one all the time.

Certified, how do you like your CharGriller egg? The butt looks great!

[AJBert]

Man, does that look GREAT!!! I can almost smell it through my screen.

Unfortunately, I had to suffer through a crawfish boil, surrounded by friends and family. I guess we all must make sacrifices now and then to keep the peace!

[downtownv]

Oh, you little tease!

[berettabone]

MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN that crust looks good...........

[AIRret]

Talk about cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!!
I'd love......... the recipe.....PLEASE!!!!!!!

[Bawanna]

OK, I give up, my stupid question of the day.

How does that smoker work. I don't see a propane tank, I don't see a power cord going anyplace.

Surly barbecue bisquits won't last no 13 hours and how the heck would the Party Q control the temperature of a barbecue bisquit anyhow.

I'm missing something real simple here.

And while I appear stupid please don't call me Shirley.

You use charcoal, load up the smoker with unlit charcoal, then light 6-10 coals, put them on the unlit, slowly the unlit coals will ignite, allowing longer cooking times. The party Q is a fan, thermometer and computer. The computer controls the temperature with the fan.

This post inspired me!

I brought home a "pre-seasoned" Masterbuilt electric smoker just a couple of days ago for the princely sum of $20. Bought a Boston butt just under 14 lbs yesterday. Today I brought home a bag of apple chips and another of hickory chips.

I'm going to cut the butt in half and smoke it on Sun.

Hmmmm... cut the butt in half could have other connotations!!!

Hopefully, I end up with something as nice as your butt, or somewhat close.

Dang, there I go again! Mind if I ask what your recipe for the rub was?

This is my rub

Rub 8 servings (this will only cover one rack of ribs increase at your pleasure)

2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp mustard powder
4 tsp salt
6 tsp brown sugar

I usually make 2 servings for a whole butt.
