Got a 4 day weekend (TY MLK) and supposed to get below 0 for the weekend.
Cooking for my daughter's 5th b-day party for tomorrow,brisket and chicken 1/4's, some rib's for tonite and a picnic ham to pull for whenever!!
Brisket with homemade Montreal steak rub (thank's Thirdeye)




Picnic slathered in mustard and rubbed with Billy Bone's Comp rub that i got from the cooking class last weekend



And a rack of spare's, untrimmed with a Cherry rub also from BB's




Smokin mainly with cherry wood and Rancher charcoal.
Picnic on the UDS (first smoke) and brisket n rib's on Buford!
I think it's noon somewhere so i'm cracking the first beer of the day for ya'll!!

BTW, it's 19* with a wind chill of 9*!!

Where can I get some cherry rub? Does it actually have cherry flavoring in it?

Looks like somebody cut the tails off the ribs and brisket Bubba.

What's the little peice in the rib pic, and what's on it?

[Bbq Bubba]

Been goin about 2 hr's now. Uds holding steady at 235ish....




Buford running about 230.....
Had to put a blankey on him, wind is picking up!

The cherry rub is a blend from BB's that he hasn't put on the market yet, and yes, it has actual cherrie's in it!

The brisket is actually a mangled point with some flat on it.....$1.29 a lb, i don't complain to the butcher to bad!
Small piece is the rib end with some Caribbean rub i wanted to try!

Food looks great Bubba! Nice background shots to make that smoke look invisible

<BTW - I still owe you a lot more silly comments >

Looking good Bubba, keep them updates coming. PP on the drum is one of my top favorites. That and ribs seem to gain the most to me.

I guess that answers my question about the drums in cold weather.

That's that invisible blue smoke that we discussed @ the trading post.

Drums are typical as far as cold and smokers go Tim. A windy 70° day is more of a problem than a 0° day. Damn wind anyway.

The only thing good about wind is that it keeps the smoke out of your eyes.

About 6 hr's now, UDS is cruising along at 238*, have hardly had to touch it except to give it a lil shake every now and then!
Buford on the other hand is not doing well with the wind, have set up some block's but it's swirling so bad it's futile.
He's stuck about 200*, metal is just to thin to hold the heat, that's O.K.
Rib's are foiled and brisket is at 145*.
8 chicken 1/4's are in brine for later after the picnic is done, will cook over Pecan and see if i can run the drum at 300ish
