Thanks, fellas!

Did a turkey breast yesterday.
Was expecting it to be a bit dry since I forgot to drop it in a brine but it turned out to be very moist.

Since the pit was already lit, I threw a meatloaf on as well.
The little taste I had after it was done has me watching the clock, waiting for lunch to roll around.

I got a new meat slicer, so I had to try it out.
Opted for a roast beef on the Pit Barrel.
This time I smoked it over some mesquite wood.

Naked fatties need love too.

BTW, love the pics Dom.

I finished a batch of BBQ sauce and canned (Ball Mason) the bulk of it. It'll be offered along with PP at Shack. I'm smoking 3 picnic roasts totaling about 30 lbs for Friday's dinner. I'll try to get some pics but it's likely going to be an overnight situation and sleep tends to trump my picture taking motivation.

Looks killer Dom. Don't ya love the taste of the product that comes off a drum smoker?

So far the Pit Barrel Cooker hasn't disappointed!
I still haven't tried a pulled pork on it.
Might have to give that a go soon.

Smoking up some pulled pork for Shack. Cut into the cryopack and it stunk. Sucks, all three picnic roasts are bad. I take them back to wallyworld, swap them for three more, drive home (25 miles each way), and.....they are bad too. Wife runs up there and swaps them for 4 smaller pork butt roasts, the last they had. She gets home, three of the four are bad. I put the one good one on the smoker while she runs to Meijer to buy more. I finally got them all on but I'm about 3 lbs lighter than I was (30) prior, and I'm running a little higher temp, 270 or so, to get this done a bit quicker.

Sounds like quite the ordeal.
Good luck, Mike.

It has been. The two smallest are resting now. The two larger are getting close. Local Walmart started checking other meat and found almost everything bad. Must have a bad cooler or something.

Did some chicken thighs and bacon stuffed artichokes on the smoker.

We had our annual Extreme Archery Tournament at our club yesterday. I did close to 200 chicken quarters, smoked some fish for a dip and and threw on few links of sausage to snack on while the rest was cooking.

Dang if it wasn't hot out there!

Great pics Dom/Steve. My wife really likes the idea of smoked bacon stuffed artichokes.

Steve, I'm guessing standing over a smoker that big is always hot.

Well for those not at Shack, the bad meat problems really had me on edge. It all worked out and I ended up only getting there about 2 hours later than planned. It seemed there was just enough for a few folks to get seconds. That was my other concern; running out.

Sorry, I don't have any pics to offer.
[Reply]

Looking good, Steve.

Glad it all worked out for ya, Mike.

It was definitely a bit warm Mike. Normally I would not be firing the big girl up down here in August, but someone else had already left us hanging for food at the tournament, so I wasn't about to let down a bunch of good guys who spent a lot of time and effort setting this thing up.

I got a new grill over the weekend
Fired it up for the first time.
Grilled a Tri tip over some mesquite and threw on some corn on for good measure.

Nice Dom. I've been thinking about one of those myself...
