Haven't posted a cook in quite a while (or even posted anything). Haven't been hanging around as much, but have been checking in now and then. Life and habits change. So here's whats going on in our house today.
Fired up the drum today for the first time in a long time. +3C and full sunshine (sunshine for maybe the third time this winter). Had a shoulder half that we wanted to do pulled pork with. Threw on a fatty rolled in brown sugar, pan of homemade baked beans on the lower rack.
We rarely see butts here. They are cut into blade chops, or pork steaks which I think you folks call them. We get the picnics, with the straight bone. All done.
On the other cooker front, my old Masterbuild kettle fell apart a year or so ago. The ash catcher rotted off the bottom so went looking around in fall for clearance deals. First time out, on a whim and a prayer, went to home despot, which I've never known to have good clearance deals. But this is what i found.
Now I got a genuine original Weber kettle. I know, not a big thing for most of you farkers with cookers that are worth more than my car. But cool for me. Here she is. The old Masterbuilt ash catcher sitting underneath because I was a little freaked out at the open ash pan (I've since gotten over that).
All's good here. Still cooking outdoors. Will try to post more. Cheers!
