Cardaddy, sounds like you need to open up a BBQ joint, how about "Cardaddy's BBQ and Detail". So you smoked some pork butt, nothing like a good butt! Where are you from?

As far as tea, well I usually drink unsweetened tea and add Sweet and Low (cut back where I can) but when I go down south and order tea I always say OFCOARSE SWEET TEA!

I wish I had tried the BBQ at that place but remember, soulfood and BBQ was what they served, I'll be back, sooner or later!

Oh I love me to smoke some 'butt'. Love to have a big ol' gravity feed smoker but even the 'baby sized' ones I like are in the $3000 range.

Where from? Born in Atlanta, grew up inside the city till HS years then moved a couple counties south. Still about 30 minutes south these days. I'm not a big Tyler Perry movie fan, but if you're into the Madea thing you can catch our little city next week on the big screen. Last January they shot a LOT of the Madea's Family Christmas movie here in town, with Larry The Cable Guy as a co-star. (In theaters on the 13th of Dec.)

I start drinking my sweet tea around noon and have it in a glass all day, till around 10 or so at night. :laughing: (In my defense I put a little less than a cup of sugar to a gallon and prefer my ice to melt a bit. Love to crunch melted tea ice all during the day.)

Did you use the Butts and chicken for the stew and did you stay true to the recipe and include squirrel?What cooker and wood did you use?

'Fraid I ain't 'bout to do no darned squirrel my friend. But we DO use both chicken and pork. Had several people ask for the stew recipe. It's been in my wife's family since we met as teenagers and I'm sure much longer than that.

Depending on what I'm cooking I'll either use my big stainless gas grill (5 x 12K burners, 2 x 15k side burners, +rotisserie burner) with added smoke either from chips, and of course natural lump charcoal *every time* and maybe even the little A-MAZE-N-SMOKER, OR my little ol' faithful Masterbuilt smoker.


Look up the A-MAZE-N-SMOKER.

Really neat little device.





























This is the larger of the old versions, good for up to 11 hours of cold smoke. (If you just light one end.) They have several versions and are worth their weight in gold! :dblthumb2:
Great way to add smoke to anything you're cooking. Use pellets in it along with your normal smoker fuel and you're good to go. I use; in this order, hickory, apple, pecan for most everything. Then, alder, cherry, peach and mesquite whenever I want to mix it up a bit. (The pellets have oak in them already, but if you shop for the better quality ones you get more of what you want and less oak.)

The cool thing about this little device is you can cold smoke ANYTHING! If it's cool outside (like now) and you've got an enclosed space, from a little smoker, to an old fridge, to a barrel or something then you can smoke whatever you want. (I've seen guys use a plastic cooler, even a cardboard box wrapped in foil!) Cheese time is NOW. Can smoke cheese then vacuum pack it, even freeze it, and it'll be good till next winter.:dblthumb2:

I use a dual probe, wireless thermometer (Maverick ET-732) along with a single probe that I had before. Keeps me up to date with what's going on in the smoker without having to go outside and check it every few minutes. :dblthumb2:

Between the A-MAZE-N and the Maverick it's changed how I smoke stuff drastically.

The description of the grill, the great detail inparticular, reminds me of the scene in "My Cousin Vinny" where Mr. Trotter (the Prosecutor) gets the guy on the stand and he describes goes on and on about some tool, sorry, I forgot what it was, and Mr. Trotter says to him "Does that thing come turbocharged" and the guy says "Only on the floor model". Serious BBQ'er here for sure!
