Forgot to start this last night-turkey/beer coma set in. 
Needed to replenish the pulled pork and homebrew supplies so decided to Smoke N Brew today.
Last night I got the butts rubbed (southern succor-forgot to get more yardbird) and the major equipment moved with the plans of starting early and not having to wake the wife up. I added sealant to the GOSM to help with the leaks and wanted to try it out as well vs. smoking on ole faithful aka my weber kettle.
Rubbed/wrapped butts:
Equipment moved to the deck:
Woke up at 6:30 am-bit too much frost on everything for me to start so laid back down to wake up at 8am when the sun would be thawing it all. 10am I wake up with a 60# Doberman pup on my legs, 80# pit mix on my chest, and a 80# staff terrier beside my head-no wonder I slept over.
Off to the races-smoker lit and butts in:
Filtering tap water and filling my brew kettle (for the homebrewers out there-going partial mash to refire my brain on brewing and for sake of time with smoking and honey do list as well):
Boiling and LBS out of the GOSM:
Just added the first set of hops-brewing a Belgian style ale aka what inspired blue moon:
Another round and a nice rolling boil:
GOSM temps were dropping-time to shake the coals out. Took a quick pic with one hand while shaking the charcoal basket with the other-surprised it turned out:
Right now the first beer batch is cooling-I have 5 more plus some aphelwine if I want to go brew crazy-my plan is to at least get 3 batches done today (15G total). Probably a Celebration Ale clone and a double IPA to let sit for a while. Tomorrow or Sunday I'll toss a spatchcock chicken on the weber and brew up some pale ales and a lager but I digress.
Oh here's my serving area for the beer:
More pics coming later-off to smoke a cigar and have a cold pint.
