BBQ Day Two

Yesterdays BBQ day went well and into the fridge went 36 wing pieces, 9# of pulled chicken, a turkey breast and 8 slabs of baby backs. And the beauty was that with Bevs help it was all done and the pans washed by 12:30 and 84* outside. Here’s a pic of one of the ribs.


And what do you have for dinner when you’ve spent the morning BBQing and had some for lunch.


It’s like working in a candy store – you spend so much time with BBQ that it makes you want fried chicken, we’ll have brisket and pork tonight.

I got the 4 briskets and 7 butts prepped by 7 pm, fired up the smoker at 235*, put the meat on at 9 pm and I was ready for bed.



When I got up at 5:30 am, I checked everything, dumped the collected juices into a bowl for de-fatting, and put the two fatties on. Later on I’ll pull 3 butts and turn some brisket into burnt ends. I used to pull all the butts, but I’ve convinced most of my friends that it’s easy and a lot cheaper for them to buy the whole roast and pull it themselves.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

  1. wow, that's alot of food. I do believe you're done until at least September! Tell Mr. Bojangles that he's not so famous that we've heard of him in Denver. It all looks delish!
