BBQ Is On!

I woke up naturally at 4 AM and decided now was as good of time as any to try out the new smoker attachment on my new Weber.

So Haley and I headed into the damp darkness and filled the cooker with 48 briquettes, and I lighted 12 briquettes separately to get the fire started. I then added the hot briquettes to the pile along with some hickory wood and water.
 Then the Boston Butt went on.

The temperature is holding steady at 240ish which is a tad hot so I cut back on some air supply.

I check it every hour and add some water and knock off the white ashes to keep the fire going.

It is 7 AM now and this thing looks so good.

I’ll leave it on another three or four hours.

On a positive “Made in USA” note my other grill after 8 years began to weaken at a spot weld. I called Weber last night and they are going to replace the entire cooking dome free. 

A Mic Update.......
