All dressed up and ready to smoke.
Yes, I did get up at 5 am this morning and started up the coals in the smoker’s firebox. The flames were visible at first, and given that our deck can be seen by lots of houses (and a few roads) for quite some distance, I had concerns about the fire department being called. Fortunately, no one did so. I then pulled four of the briskets out the chest where they have been marinading, dried the marinade off, and applied dry rub to each. They’re all now in the smoker and will be until 1 or 2 pm this afternoon.
I’m hungry already. ..bruce w..
