19 hour marathon to pick up hunsaker drum and 270 sumo

[Free Mr. Tony]

Went back and forth for a few days, and decided to dive in. Got up at 4:30 AM and left fort wayne to make the 7 hour drive to meet Mark Hunsaker. Super nice guy. Picked up my drum, and headed 2 more hours to KC to meet brethren GloriB. Beautiful patio with lots of smokers, and in our short time speaking seemed like a lovely lady. She had a used 270 sumo. Looked brand new. Loaded it up, and headed right back about 9 hours or so

Stopped for gas and chick fil a on the way home. Otherwise it was there and back. Got home about 11:30 pm.

Fired both up today

Cornell chicken halves on the drum. Just finishing up. Going to dunk in white sauce.

Turkey breast, ribs, and tips on 270

Seems like it was time and money well spent.

Nice patio! Good looking chicken.
What's this White Sauce you speak of?

thanks. Google Bob Gibson white sauce. There are a million recipes out there, but they are all pretty similar. Right after the chicken is done just slather or dunk it. The sauce kind of melts in. It's really good. Use more for dipping. I suggest making 24 hours ahead. It's much better after the flavors have all blended for a day.

Haha. wasn't planning on it. needed some sort of incentive to make that sort of drive to pick up smokers. It was one long day, but should get a long time of enjoyment out of them.

Thanks, I've done Alabama White sauce - too vinegary for me.
Is it the same?

I would assume yes. Mine that I use is a 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar to a 1/2 cup mayo. Pretty standard. Did you try after it sat a day? Probably just not your cup of tea.

Congrats on the new toys FMT, the food looks killer too!

 

[Czarbecue]

Nice view from your patio! First time smoking out there? I see no stains on your concrete! Lol

I'm jealous when looking at replacing the WSM those were the 2 cookers I was going back and forth on. Didn't need both, most of the time I'm just cooking for 2, after buying a hanging kit for the WSM I wanted something I could hang chicken and a few other things on so the Hunsaker got the nod.

Chicken looks delicious, if you have the hanging kit try hanging those halves and see what you think.

It was so nice to meet you! Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad everything worked out and even better that you'll get a lot of use out of the 270. Your food looks amazing!!
