Sounds like a great way to enjoy the rest of the day Brad. Going out later to grab a Xmas tree...

Turned out it was ABITA time, had a bomber of Abita 25th Anniversary Ale which SUCKED at the Shack
when it was passed around the tasting table. I am guessing that it was simply a taste comparison, as
we were tasting SO MANY great beers with quality viscosity and recipes, and it was a little like drinking
wine after brushing your teeth. I had all 22 oz and it was fine. The total ended up being one fantastic
butt and a few good chicken halves, and NO DAMN PICTURES. How embarrassing. Now the
rain is coming and i have a lot of good food to eat.

I LOVE the Turbodog stout! That's a great brewery.

Thanks all. I love doing turkey the same way, usually try to use pecan wood (Thanks to Brent for turning me onto that for poultry) but hickory does a nice job as well.

Thanks for that correction, that is actually what it is, a stout. Sorry bout that, lol.
No smoker action for me today, got nothing thawed and it's a ehhh day out there this morning.
if it improves I might get out the the store and pick up something fresh to smoke. But even then,
gots no coal.

We had our Office Christmas Party Saturday, so I threw a couple (15) of slabs of ribs on Ol' Girl along with some sausage, homemade baked beans, taters, and a cabage palm heart.

Merry Christmas to all my smoking buddies that I have made while drooling at photos
and otherwise messin up the planet by smoking meat. The people that hang out in this
thread are without a doubt the best of the Asylum. You all know who you are.

My Brother in law gave me a Cigars Intl. Mild smokes ten pack in my stocking,
Not sure if he really understands havana smokers...or at least me. There is a
ghurka in it, lol. So as he also gave me some rubs, I might go get a rack of
ribs from Lion Food tomorrow and turn his gas grill into a one-time smoker.

I just finished my last smoke of the year, and it had to have been some sort of speed record. 2 butts totaling 15 pounds, and finished in 11 hours. Unfortunately, it happened to hit that 205 mark at 4:30am. I was going to go back to bed, but who could sleep with fresh BBQ in the house.

Does anyone have any winter smoker tips? I am not blessed with a large commercial smoker, but I make do with what I have.
[Reply]

Well what do you have?

Usually wind is a bigger issue than temperature.

Moving blankets can be your friend...:-)
