230 lbs of pork shoulder on Saturday. I also smoked a turkey, a few fatties and some meat balls.

Started at 6:00am and was done by 10:30.

I had fired up all three smokers due to the fact that I did not have enough room in the smoker.

I smoked a few of the shoulders in the Wookie with Hickory. It was ok but I enjoy apple wood more.

In total it was three cases but it would have been better to do two cases.

Have not tried this yet but found this post on the Meatsmokingforum site posted by Don Marco

Cut a 5 pound pork butt into small strips and chilled it in the freezer



And made a Marinade out of this :




1/4 cup allspice
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 garlic cloves
4 Habanero peppers
1/2 Tablespoon Thyme
1 spring onion
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 "--" nutmeg
5 "--" sea salt
3 "--" frisch gemahlener Pfeffer
Juce of 1 lime
1/4 cup EVOO
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce





Ground the meat with the coarse blade, mixed it with the marinade and ground again with the medium blade




Then stuffed into 1" hog casings



I just cooked a couple of those on the mini egg with some allspice in the charcoal and im very pleased with the results. Flavour was awesome, next time ill just add some some more fat to the mix.

Spring break 2010


Over Spring Break this year we went to St. Augustine Florida. While we were there we took a look around at the Alligator Farm. They have two albino alligators. We stayed at the BlueGreen World Village Golf resort.

We enjoyed great weather there usually around 75 to 80 degrees

Just another day at the beach

We visited two different beaches while at St. Augustine. As you can see we are not dressed for a day at the beach. A good time was still had by all.

After a quick run on the beach we took off to tour the rest of the city. The other beach we went to had miles of sea shells that we were able to collect.
