Kind of a Day1/Day2 cook, but wrapped it up today, and it's the first of three I'll have in the next few days. Today's cook: Habanero BBQ Baked Beans. Of course, it's kind of a twofer as I needed to smoke a pork shoulder to get the drip action in the beans. Began with the layout:
Now for the shoulder rub: (sucks that I don't live down the street from The Spice House in Chicago anymore!)

I could make a meal of this stuff! (Oh, wait, I just did…)
Beans will be center stage again on the 4th. I have a couple other cooks to plan now. Can't wait to see what everyone else cooks up!
