I had a busy weekend

Back in May, my friend, Clark helped me build a table for my Egg at his house. I finally got it to my house and got the Egg in it. To celebrate, I cooked 4 Pork Butts totaling up to 30lbs. I got them on the Egg around 5pm Saturday and took them off around 12pm Sunday.

I took two of the butts to a picnic held by the Gulf Coast Magicians Guild on Sunday. We pulled the butts at the picnic. Those magicians made that pork disappear in about 15 minutes. Everyone raved about the pulled pork. Some had some questions on how I cooked it and I told them about how easy it was to cook low & slow on the Egg.

Tomorrow, my work is having a "Pig Out" celebration to celebrate May & June birthdays. I'm bringing the other two butts for that. I've got them in Foodsaver bags right now. I plan on heating them up in a crock pot tomorrow morning, with some of my mop and some BBQ sauce.

I'm trying to decide what to cook this weekend. I thought I was going out of town, but we can't afford that right now with gas prices so high. I'm thinking about smoking a chuck roast to use in chili.

Ribs

I did St Louis style ribs on the Egg yesterday. I used the Magic Dust rub from the book Peace, Love, and Barbecue by Mike Mills. For his Apple City 17th Street Ribs, he says to use Apple wood but I couldn't find any around here. I did find Cherry though and used that for smoke.

Wow, low and slow cooking is so easy on the egg. Once I got the temperature on the egg to 250, it stayed there for 6 hours. The ribs had great bark and great flavor. Stephanie said this was my best batch of ribs yet.

Along with the ribs, I did a batch of Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. I thought they were great but Stephanie thought they were just okay. She thinks there's just too much stuff in with the beans.
