Not a big difference really... Both are jammed full of crusty white bread.

I can tell that you have never experienced the joy of evenly toasted bread.

Did two 7.5 Lb pork shoulders today for pulled pork. On at midnight, added chips at 3:30AM and 7:00AM, then off at noon. Rested to 3:30 PM and it pulled beautifully. The skin didn't end up crispy, but chopped some if it fine and left in, should give some more texture.
Here it is just before resting.


Did no-contact delivery around to four households, plus my own, with buns, coleslaw, potato salad and the pulled pork. Nice little treat for some people I know who are living off canned meals. Goes good with cheap beer.

Ummm... This might just not be your best work, mainly from a photography perspective...
Would it be alright if any of us mocked you, thoroughly, or shall we just grant you a pass?

[ExtraSlow]

Shoulda made a prettier plate for sure. If it make you feel good, mock away. We all need release in these trying times.

I’d eat your meat buddy... And I promise, there would most definitely be a release.

I'll be honest, packaging and delivering all this took so much energy when I finally got to eat, I wolfed down on plateful before I even thought to take a picture. Was kijda stressful! But got rave reviews from the families, so that's nice.

Smoked Chicken Wings ready to go in for dinner.

Overnight soak in some homemade bbq sauce, with a spicey sugar dust on them prior to the cook.

[ExtraSlow]

smoked wings are awesome. I like overnight in siracha or other asian/indian spicy sauce, then smoke , and toss in sauce or dry seasoning afterwards.

Oh i'm gonna try that this weekend. I've been looking for a good hot/smoking recipe.

[ExtraSlow]

Basically any spicy chicken marinade will work fine. It needs to penetrate the meat really well, because the exterior will drip-dry while it cooks. Then smoking technique will depend on your smoker type. For my electric smoker, I start it from dead cold, run it to 180 for about 40 minutes, then run it to 275 for 40 -60, and the wings are fully cooked and quite smoky. That two-step temperature thing gets more smoke out of my electric cabinet smoker than starting at 275. I don't think it does anything special for the meat. That's a quite "well done" wing obviously. I suspect you could shorten that a lot if you wanted.

webber kettle, or the cheapo walmart version?


I have an old version of this masterbuilt electric smoker. Electric is crazy simple, but for sure not as good as charcoal or wood-burning type.

Smoke box in your grill also isn’t terrible.

Pshhh...I would have expected that answer from someone who owns a Wolf toaster. He said $1.

WEBBER KETTLE... god damn it! Don’t complicate things, it’s the best. Better than your two’s stupid electric smokers combined!

[ExtraSlow]

At this point, I keep going with the electric mostly to troll all the BBQ purists out there. I have some buddies who swear by Traeger who get totally apoplectic when I talk about electric smoke. Making them mad is a great hobby.

It’s also fucking hilarious to show up to a comp with a $100 kettle (or three) where 70% of the field has at least a $10k smoker and do this:
