My Chiristmas Cooking

I started cooking earlier in the weekend I did two pork butts in the Egg on Saturday. They were about 7 lbs each and I injected them with apple cider and then rubbed them with Hen and Hog dust.[p]IMG_4460.jpg[p]They cooked at a dome temp of 275 - 300 for about 9 hours. The bone pulled cleanly on both. I pulled them and bagged the pulled pork to take to my sister's place tomorrow.[p]IMG_4461.jpg[p]I took yesterday off due to the weather. It was 15 degrees with sustained winds at 35 - 40 mph and gusts to 70 mph! At least we didn't have much snow like the guys in Wisconsin and Michigan did.[p]Today I am going to smoke some cheese. I bought bricks of mild and sharp cheddar, colby, co-jack and swiss. After that I am going to smoke some pastrami. I have three corned rounds that I have soaked in fresh water for 48 hours and then rubbed them with a mixture of black pepper, coriander seeds, thyme, paprika and garlic powder. I put the rub on last night and then wrapped them in plastic wrap and they sat in the fridge overnight.[p]IMG_4462.jpg[p]Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks for sharing your Egg knowledge. You've helped me get of to a great start with my Egg.[p]...ron (Eggin' In The Suburbs!)[p]

    Ron_L, What really great looking food and I am sure everyone is going to like the pulled pork. Your weather sounds like it could be improved for Xmas Day with just a sprinkling of snow, but I don't wish you the large amounts many have seen this winter already. It was in the low 30's this morning when I lit the BGE for a brisket cook. Cold for us here in Texas, but going up to the mid 60's today and tomorrow. Enjoy the Holidays.[p]

    EagerEgger,
    It was 48 here on Saturday before the bottom fell out and I was out there in my t-shirt. 60's would feel great! :)[p]Oops! I almost forgot. I'm also making a pot of Keri C's Hog Apple Beans (from the Virtual Weber Bullet Forum)
