Pork shoulder and spare ribs as the meat.  Fresh baked rolls, coleslaw, pinto beans w/hamhocks, ceasar salad as sides.  For desert people can choose between Giridella brownies, or apple puffups both topped with vanilla ice cream.

MMMMMMMMMM............tasty.

Happy Independence Day everyone.

Freedom is never free.

Had us a little party of 50-60 people at the B&B I help run and we cooked up a few butts as well as a big brisket, some 50/50 beef & pork fatty's and a pile of thighs. Held early 4th party last night so people could spend today with families..  Quiggs came up to give me a hand as well as new Thermopen for my Birthday along with some fine cigars and a bottle of Gentlemen to celebrate with!  So we cooked in beautiful weather with cool temps and some rain showers..

OK, here's the boil pics


80 quart pot boiling away on the jet burner


This is the first part of the meal.  Sausages, artichokes, lemons, potatoes, garlic, corn and a great deal of spices to make the crab boil...



This is the Maryland blue crabs, Alaskan Kings, clams and shrimp


Boil on the table pic 1


Boil on the table pic 2


Tearin it up.....

No crab or shrimp left over whatsoever!

[Quiggs]

OH MAN!! That looks friggin tasteeeee!!  Great idea to flavor the crab boil water!

What kind of time does it take for both boils?

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

WOW, that looks fantastic.  Can only imagine how great that smelled over there.  Great pictures.. Now I'm officially hungry.. 

[AzJohnnyC]

Here's how mine went:


My naked butt at 3:00 a.m. waiting to be rubbed.


Rubbed with yellow mustard and Sauza Tequila rub.


On the SNP at 4:00 a.m.


The smoke is rolling


A mid-afternoon peek/temp check


Minding the pit


Temp at 165 degrees...time to wrap


A generous portion of brown sugar packed on top


Wrapped in foil


16 hours later and it's just right.  The bone fell right out.  Notice it's dark again.


All pulled, ready to sauce up an eat...I chose the D-Dog's Cranberry Chipotle for my sandwiches.


What happened to the bone?  It made for one very happy dog!

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

WOW Johnny, that came out looking great.  Thanks for the pictures as well..

That boil looks awesome!  Mmmmm...crab. A nice story with a sad ending..."no leftovers"

Ok, so here is how our 4th transpired. Finally have a chance to post since the kids all took off this afternoon. Smoked 2 Butts about 9 pounds each, one with a chili-style rub and the other with something new we might share later. Seasoned at about 9 pm on Friday. Spanked my butts, woke them up at 5am and onto the smoker they went!

This was about 11 hours later....

We made our own BBQ sauce, kinda a combo between heat, vinegar, mustard style then pulled the pork. Then made a killer cole-slaw that we totally intended to serve as a side. After all was said and done, and taking a hint from triple D, the cole-slaw just HAD to be served on the pulled pork sandwich. Winner, winner, pork dinner for sure.




And the finished product - Dean am I worthy yet???
