A full day - and a walk on the dark side

it's been a great day cooking. With Thanksgiving looming ahead I needed to cook some grub for my ~ 30 ~ relatives I'll spend next week with. I borrowed an offset cooker (gasp!) to double smoke some hams. I figured while I was at it I might as well cook a pork butt...
Started early and got the butt on.
While the butt was rolling along I baked the loaf of bread I started last night.
Here's the smoker in the daylight. It's not fancy - and it eats wood - but it works.
After lunch I put the hams on to catch some smoke.
Afew beers later here we are:
This may be one of the best pork butts I've ever cooked.
After all that I had to have something to eat for my wife and me. So we threw a ham steak on the smoker, baked some butternut squash, and cooked some taters.
Now I'm chillin' by the fire with the love of my life. Life is good.
Thanks for looking.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

Great post!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Use what tools are available to get the job done. Great cook and results. And yes the stick burner will eat the wood but that's the nature of the beast (says he who has only been enjoying the experience for about six weeks).
But the experience could lead to " I need another BGE conversation." Go for it!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Brother, I missed this when it was first posted. I haven't been on the forum much as of late. With that said, I have seen it now my friend. And as such:

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
@SGH Thank you kindly. I had fun playing with that big offset. It eats wood with a voracious appetite, but also turns out some good food. Dag nabit - makes me want to order that Lone Star Grillz vertical offset again.Coleman, Texas
