I do love that thing though.

I'll probably do up a mess of beans before all is said and done, and maybe some corn as well. This is going to be a fun cook and party to celebrate my wife's birthday and recovery from her surgery. Cooks like this sometimes take on a life of thier own. Before it's over, I'm sure the nieghbors will be bringing stuff over to put in as well.
If they're smart!!

Well spares go onsale at Jiggly Piggly this week, so I am going to get about 3 packs at lunch today.
After my recent tragedy, I am gunshy about it, though. Picked up 2 NICE big chuck roasts the other
day and came back from lunch and put them in the fridge. Before I left for home, I got them out
and threw em in the driver's side cubby. Get home and just go upstairs like nothing is different.
Got up the next day and got in my truck for work and smelled a sickly sweet aroma in the cab.
Then later that day at lunch, the armoma was stronger. Then in a face-flushing rush it hits me.
THAT'S what that dang smell was. NOT nice.

Sorry to hear that about the chuckies... I had that happen once when I left a bunch of meat in my wife's trunk. I don't know who was more ticked...

Back in High School, I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken. One night we ran short on birds, so I ran to another store and picked up a couple of cases. I was careful about lining the trunk of dad's car with garbage bags, but apparently some of the blood made it past the plastic and got into the trunk carpeting...
Anyway, the next afternoon, after sitting in the Florida summer sun all day, dad comes out from work all tired and opens the door to a great green cloud.
Not my finest moment!

I am trying to go 2 for 2. I have four racks of ribs and 3 lbs of hamburger meat out in the bed of my truck.
Every hour or so I am running a bag of ice from the ice machine in the kitchen out to the truck and
pouring it into a large white bag that the meat is in. Who knows if I will remember either to renew
the ice or bring in the meat this afternoon.

Sweet. Not this weekend for me. I am going store bag Hickory chunks. Actually, I should swing
by the pecan orchard and see what the straight line winds done wrought.
:-)
2 racks of SLC spare ribs, some burgers and doggies.

It's been a while since I've done a pork butt.
I just bought two, one is 13 lbs and the other is 7 lbs.
I probably should not put them in at the same time huh? Since one is a lot smaller than the other?

Put them in together dude. One will reach temp faster so just double wrap in foil, wrap in towel and place in a cooler and you're all set.

DayUm!!! A 13 pound butt!!! Now that was one big arse hog!!! I'd throw 'em both on at the same time if serving time didn't matter. If I wanted 'em to come off at the same time I would throw that half hog on about 4 hours early.

Well it might depend on the cut. My local stores only carry bone in boston butts and they are all 11-14lbs.

I am jealous of Steve right about NOW!!! Ribs should be coming off within the hour. Cooks treats!!!

I'll just put them both on at once and pull the small one off 4 hours before the big one.

Do you have a remote thermometer?
If you don't have a multi-probe thermometer, stick the probe in the small butt - when it hits your desired temp, pull it off the cooker and move the probe to the large butt.
