What to do when you have one bathroom in the house, your brother is taking a shower and you just woke up and have to go?

Cadet night at Craig;s Cruisers. It is hard to tell but that is Ryan going around on the go cars by himself. He did very well by himself.

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.
