I put these on at 7:00 this morning.
20 pounds total.

Nothing but goodness right there!

....but......


I am more of a breast man myself...

wow... both look amazing.

Mighty fine breasts there Lazerus!!!


Y'all reckon I burnt this one up??
Maybe 13 hours was too long?

Second one just came off.
Looks like I burnt both of them.

Yeah probly burnt them up I guess.
Dang bone fell out.

Nothing wrong with burnt , need a lil crust.

Does this count?

I can't wait to get back home and fire up the smoker again. Them look mighty fine, Jeff. Think you can get an APO box of it over here?

Yes, that counts!

amen!

and yours turned out looking mighty fine too, nothing wrong with some 'bark' on the outside! i've always said its kind of like smoked brisket, the bark is often the best part!

Thanks P-One!
Yep I was just kidding about burning them. The bark is where all the good flavoring is, and it gets all mixed in as it's pulled.
It starts out with a good rub, and then a half-dozen chunks of soaked hickory smoke like crazy for the first couple hours or so. I keep it sprayed with apple juice every hour or so for the last half of the cook to keep it moist.
Both of these turned out great. One is on the way to MO with family right now, and the other one will be here for family the next couple days before Christmas.
I'm gonna glaze and smoke a big spiral-cut ham on the cooker Christmas morning.

if you havent messed with one yet - i strongly suggest you give one of these a try

you load em up with hardwood pellets, light one end, and get 8-12 hours of smoke out of them. then all you gotta do is fire tend.

i got mine originally for my electric smoker, but when i got my offset barrel smoker it worked exceptional in there too. Takes the whole process down to just fire tending then and not worrying about running out of smoke, especailly on long cooks.

i did find the pellets a bit tough to light, but propane torch = win

when i want extra smoke, i light both ends. however fair note - if you have to refresh part way through the process, dump the hots out before refilling, or the whole thing will light up at once and burn out in 45 mins or so lol

some salmon i did this fall, blended pellets and apple charcoal in the fire box. totally worth the extra time and effort over the electric!

Roger that. Can smell the mesquite smoke now!

Oh man!!!
