Been a While

It has been over a year since I've done anything here. My daughter, Kaitlyn, was born last September. Two babies can really keep you busy. My wife started blogging recently about life with 2 kids. Her blog can be found here:

I picked up a new smoker earlier this year. I got a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. I still love my Big Green Egg, but I wanted something that would have a bit more volume for smoking meat. I've done all my smoking in the WSM since I got it to try to get cooking it down. But I'll be using both of my cookers this weekend. I'm cooking for 40 people for a family reunion. I'll be doing three pork shoulders and two briskets. I plan to do three shoulders and a brisket in the WSM and a brisket in my BGE. I may throw some ribs in the BGE as well.

In a few weeks, I plan to smoke some turkeys. I'm looking forward to that. Smoking a turkey for Thanksgiving is what gave me the BBQ bug to begin with.
