Tried out the updated charcoal basket on the Smokemaster Offset. Worked better in that the fire did not jump the barrier. It burned a good 4 hours before a reload.

Pulled everybody from the pit at 5:30pm. Sauced half the ribs and foiled all of them and put them in the oven's warming drawer.

Foiled the butt with a little apple juice and moved to the oven for 45 minutes.
Sorry too busy eating to take a shot of the plated results with the deviled eggs and slaw. :-\
We have some left if you are hungry ;D
