Rare vanity, I apologize, but let's talk BBQ. Got my Bradley Smoker started last night at 8:00. Two beautiful 8# Pork Butts smoking/cooking for sixteen hours then FTC for 5 then serve with a wonderful North Corolina vinegar/tomato based dipping sauce or the infamaous South Carolina mustard based sauce. I'll take the former, wife loves the latter.
Please post your BBQ plans.
Great pic!
Hubby has fifteen pounds of butts smokin’ since 5:30 AM. Saving the drippings to make the sauce. (Vinegar based) Three racks of baby back ribs, 4 pounds of hot wings. Mac and cheese, baked beans, slaw and whatever our daughter brings. Peach cobbler and blackberry cobbler covered with vinilla ice cream for dessert.
Oh, and two cases of hubbies favorite brews.
Consider it a political statement...
“Chicken with Williamson Bros. BBQ Sauce (incredible!), corn on the cob, veggies... all on the grill. YUM!!!”
....glad you mentioned corn....a farmer friend of mine invited me down to pick sweet corn yesterday....you just can’t beat the taste of fresh corn this time of year.
Stonewalls, who’ll be cooking with pork over oak coals today.
“I Googled ‘Bradley smoker’. It has a separate chamber for the wood. I’ve been told this is the best method to smoke.”
Granted I’m predudiced but would agree.
Burgers but I have some filet mignon on standby.
I can’t stop laughing. I think this would win! I’m going to show this to everyone at the party today. Wish I saw this earlier.
Forgot to mention: Between meals I will kick back and expose the soles of my shoes to all that are present.
I have four nice salmon steaks that I will cook over direct charcoal (5 mins meat side down, 7 mins skin side down) in our traditional Weber grill. I will serve Uncle Ben’s rice mix, with an extra cup of Minnesota wild rice, cooked in our Japanese rice cooker (it never fails.) A salad with Mennonite tomatoes will accompany the meal.

Interesting.
Thanks, I’m always trying different sauces. I Googled ‘Williamsom Bros sauce’ and went to their web site. Fairly inexpensive - I’m going to order a half case of tomato based and another mustard based.

Surprisingly, our local media hasn’t had any stories about the health hazards of barbecuing as they do every other year. Maybe they finally realize people think it’s all bull puckies.
“FTC” Wow, I’m going to try that next time I grill pork! Will certainly have to get started much earlier than usual...
It all sounds good...... what ever I choose today its going into THE BIG GREEN EGG! HaPpY FoUrTh O JuLy!
Weither you are working or off, have a good and blessed July 4th day and week. I had attended mass last night. Taking things easy a bit before going with a friend to the tea party rally.
I live in MEMPHIS nuff said!
Crow for many who voted for the metrosexual currently in the White House. Even the dense ones are catching onto him.
A couple of liberals - it should help America become a bit more free today.
