    That is one sweet murder van...
    I would upgrade it with a wood chipper and acid bath if it were mine.  It has like 12 lugs per axle, so you know it can handle some "cargo".
    All it's missing is "Free Candy" spray-painted on the side

    I have to ask, what is a magnum load? The more detail the better. 

    Well, here's the recipe.

    Magnum Loads

    by Spring Chicken 

    These are definitely not for everyone, especially not for those who are concerned about their health, their heart, their weight, their blood pressure or their long-term plans.  But for the short haul, they are delicious and go great with cold beer and sports, or just for a pre-dinner snack.  They could also become addictive to those who like pork.  That said, here's the recipe which, by the way, can be cooked on any grill or even in an oven.  The flavors merge together wonderfully...

     

    Ingredients:

    Servings: 16 or 32 or 48 depending on serving size

     

    32 or 48 toothpicks depending on how you wish to serve them.

    2 ea one pound Jimmy Dean pork sausage (preferably HOT)

    1 ea  one pound package of your favorite Smoked Sausage

    16 ea Little Smokey cocktail sausages

    16 slices of regular sliced bacon.

     

    Slice Smoked Sausage into 1" long pieces.  There should be about 16 of them in a 1 pound link.

    Using an apple coring knife, cut out the center of the Smoked Sausage. Set the plug aside.

    Insert a Little Smokey into the hole, allowing some to stick out each end.

    Slice each package of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage into 8 equal size patties per package.

    Gently flatten the pork sausage patty and wrap evenly around the entire smoke sausage.

    Now wrap one slice of bacon around the outside of the sausage.  You may need to stretch it.

    Evenly space and pin the toothpicks either in two places or three places. You will slice between them when done.

    Place on a raised grid in a pan if using an oven.  Or place on the grid of a bbq grill set up for indirect.

    Cook @ 375° to 400° until done about 45 minutes. check doneness (165°) with a meat thermometer.

    You will need to gently rotate and turn a couple of times to even out the cooking.

    Serve warm.

    @nolaegghead @Legume @The Cen-Tex Smoker  I did just a new stereo. It makes for some nice listening to Phil Collins albums. Patrick Bateman Style. I could see a fast pay back on a chipper shredder...just think of the labor savings.

  • Well- this sucks but we are out tomorrow and possibly Saturday as well. Have to head up to Dallas to help my oldest out with some stuff. Not ideal timing but being a parent does not come with a convenient schedule all the time :)

    We have a room at the inn- if anyone needs one let me know and I'll switch it over to you. Our plan is to make it Saturday afternoon for the latter part of the fest and the after party. 

    Foghorn- you are going to have to get @caliking or @20stone to light your egg.

    Hope to see everyone Saturday afternoon.

    @Foghorn - didn't get a pm from you. if its about getting an egg lit for you, let me know what time you need it to be up to temp by, and we'll take care of it. 

    I still have so much sh!t to prep tonight... and now I have a killer of a cold, so I can't taste anything. Kind of winging it now. 

    Well- this sucks but we are out tomorrow and possibly Saturday as well. Have to head up to Dallas to help my oldest out with some stuff. Not ideal timing but being a parent does not come with a convenient schedule all the time :)

    Hope to see everyone Saturday afternoon.




    Hope things are not too squirrelly, man. Let us know if we can help with anything.

    Sorry I'll be missing the shin-dig.  Have various posterior blasts, crawfish boil competition, full frontal bacon runways and all that going on.  I'll catch next year's remorseful Sunday at Salado festivities.  Y'all have fun, and I'll be shamed vicariously through this or other (probably quickly buffalo'ed) posts here on the good ol' forum.

    Cen-tex - been there.  Kids.  Didn't pull out in time, can't kill 'em.  But ya gotta love 'em.  At the most inopportune times.

    Centex, good luck with kid.  We'll save a cold one for you.

    @nolaegghead, you're dead to me...
