So, you smoked a whole picnic.  How cute.....

I know Scottie has the room (and the same smoker), but this would be a squeeze in my LBGE

    Can't wait to make it to Underbelly...heard great things.   I love my Vault too...4 plates of beef ribs, 4 briskets and 4 pork butts (followed by 15 racks of ribs).


    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    Holler at me when you come down, and drag CenTex with you.  We could grab Cali and make an evening of it at Underbelly. 

    Nice work in your vault as well.

    That looks nice. I had a pulled pork sandwich at a restaurant done by the same chef as Underbelly. It was flavorless and I was severely unimpressed.

    I absolutely love my vertical smoker. I can't remember the last time I used my poor XL but I am keeping it for now. I had never heard of pitmaker before I got my backwoods but they look amazing. I have been considering selling my XL and fatboy and getting this. http://memphis.craigslist.org/for/5008949736.html

    I cook a few KCBS events per year with a couple of guys from our office.  We used to all pack up our ceramic cookers (2 XL BGEs and 1 Primo XL) until one of the guys bought a Pitmaker trailer with the safe vertical smoker and sniper offset.  While Pitmaker's offsets are a little finnicky compared to BGE, the safe is pretty "set it and forget it."  Might have to see if he can find a short cow and try the beef leg in the safe...  Looks great!

    I am curious where that was.  As far as I know, Shepherd is involved with Anvil (a great bar), The Hay Merchant (craft beer plus some good bar food (including a half a pig's head, roasted), Blacksmith (coffee) and Underbelly (the flagship, serving American Creole cuisine (that is stuff influenced by other stuff).
