[p]I started a butt at 5:30PM Monday and when it was done yesterday I wrapped it up and threw the chicken pieces on the egg, then pulled it all last night.[p]At noonish today I started the stew and it's been simmering ever since. The wife thought it was a little warm, too many "dashes" of Hell's Fury and cayenne for her taste, so I had to add a little more of everything else, thats why it's close to the top after eating a bowl but I'm pretty pleased at my first attempt at Brunswick stew, much less on the egg. I used the recipe on the forum here except for the Hell's Fury. I had several recipes given to me that called for using cans of Castleberrys meat but the egg smoked butt and chicken is the ticket, worth the labor.
