Happy Birthday, America! Let me start of by saying that. 

At just after 0:00 hours the first cook of the big day has begun. Two Boston butts. (9.5 and 6.9 lbs) have been rubbed, and put on the blue MT with the CB stacker smoke hood.














More pics, kettles and food to come! Good night all!

Just putting my Boston Butt on now. Happy Fourth everyone!

Awesome cooks already today...I almost feel bad posting my boring cook pictures..

Anyway, enjoyed breakfast so much yesterday, decided to do something similar on my 26'r.

Grill warmed up and putting a few strips of think cut bacon



Bacon looking really good...flipped it and added some sausage



Bacon about done..time to add cheese to the sausage



Time for the eggs with cheese on the top



and the final results...made a little too much eggs for the cheese to hold together so I guess I get a bonus of some scrambled eggs with my sandwich and bacon

Happy 4th everyone!

We have a bunch of friends and family coming later this afternoon to celebrate the 4th and enjoy some BBQ. I just got the brisket (Costco Prime) on the kettle at 6am and will be firing up the WSM around 11am, to do up a couple racks of spares.

This is my first long cook on a kettle, wish me luck!

I set my coals (2x2x1) up last night. Stubbs... with cherry and hickory chunks for the fire.



Kosher salt, cracked black pepper and granulated garlic is my rub for this 10lb hunk-o-meat.



Here we go!



Settled in at @ 275...



This is just before I flipped and rotated the whole set-up at the 4-hour mark.



Spares all prepped and ready for the WSM!



Lump, with some Apricot from the tree in our yard, is the chosen fuel for this cook.



Had a quick look at the 8-hour mark, with an internal temp of 190.

Not yet probe tender...



Brisket is almost ready! Meanwhile, ribs are gettin wrapped at the 3-hour mark...color looks good to me...



*Day After Edit*

Right after I added the pic of the ribs getting foiled, guests started showing up. I wish I would have gotten a few pics of the plated food, but was just too distracted, oh well. I had a look in the fridge this morning and there are only a couple rib bones leftover.

I love seeing MBHs employed for long cooks. Especially redheads! Keep em coming!

A Happy 4th of July to all you fine people in your great country!

This butt cook began HERE.  It was on for not-quite 8 hours overnight.

After resting, it pulled easily.  Not a pronounced smoke ring as I did not use a lot of salt. 
I was experimenting, so I didn't go with a rub.  Just S&P and a generous amount of brown sugar .... Made for some delicious bark.

Fried up some eggs (on the stove).     Piled on some pp, and chowed down.

andd.... that's a wrap!  Started prep work Thursday night.  Finished up Saturday morning.

1) Ready for the WSM after being rubbed and wrapped overnight.

2) Pulled off at 190, after about 12 hours
(fingers crossed)

3) Lot of fuel left after 13+.  I closed the vents and went to bed.  Chicken and faux ends in the morning.

4) Good morning!

5) After rest, fridge and cube.

6) Rubbed chicks.

7) Party time!

After some partying over heat.
A little longer ...

9) Finished chicks

10) Sauced fauxs

A labor of love.  Plated a wang with some ends and a Trader Joe's pretzel roll.  In all honesty I picked and ate too much so I was already full!
