Smoke Day 9 -- May 25

[Lord_Byron]

Time to start making plans for WSM Smoke Day 9 on May 25.

I'm doing a pulled pork and armadillo eggs.

Oooh...

I always host a "Breakout the smoker!" party on Memorial Day weekend. I was probably leaning more towards Sunday the 26th rather than Saturday, but I'm not sure.

I always do ribs and a second protein. I'm not sure if it'll be brisket or pork butt, but I'll probably throw one or the other on there along with some ribs.

Man this weather has me really itching to pull out the WSM and fire that bad boy UP!

I changed my menu for tomorrow.

I'm doing Pork Bellies for appetizers using this recipe.

Then shredded bbq beef:

I'll let you know on Sunday how everything turned out.

I've got 6 racks of babybacks thawing in the fridge right now. Just ordered a couple Boston Butts to do pulled pork as well.

Plan to put a pan of beans in there as well...although I'm not sure how I'll find room for all this! I need a 21" WSM but I'm too cheap!

Hammb, if you can get your hands on some pork bellies, I'd HIGHLY recommend the above recipe.

I marinated for three days as indicated and then smoked (apple wood) at 225-250 for about 2.5 hours and they exceeded any expectations I had. The fat melted in your mouth and the lean was just perfect. The pepper seasoning added just the right amount of spice.

I removed the skin per the instructions. I threw it out, but I probably should have deep fried it for pork rinds. . .
