Good evening Alabama and Steve. I just got in from work and having a bite to eat. My weekend starts tomorrow. I am in the mood for a bit of barbecue.

Good Morning All......:)

Welcome to a new week! :D

Just missed ya last night Steve!

Morning All

Morning Caleb!

Good morning Alabama, hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Morning Pat!

Morning Steve, Morning Pat...everyone survive the storms that FINALLY came last night?

we had some heavy stuff last night and it'll continue through out the day!

Morning Steve, Caleb. No damage there, I hope!

no just need to clean out a gutter!

No damage around my house...just some localized flooding in some small creeks, etc...my back yard looks like a lake...could have sworn I saw a Bass jump earlier...

I would rather be fishing in the rain now, than being here!

Good morning Alabama, Steve, Caleb and Pat. The barbecue is started. I am trying apple wood chips for the smoking part. I got 2 3/4 inches of rain yesterday and early this morning.

Morning Steve, just missed you last night by minutes! How you been?

Smoking some meat?

Steve, where do you live again? Barbecue smoked with Apple Wood Chips sounds good!

Wharton, NJ......

Caleb, up near Huntsville. Yeah, Steve, I have two Boston Butts, a Hollywood rib and a small piece of beef. I have about 14 pounds of meat smoking.

That sounds good!

The barbecue I made a couple weeks ago came out really good. Hope this is as good.

how long do you smoke them for?

About 10 hours for the butts.

so you take out the smaller pieces earlier?

No, I start them later so they all finish at the same time. The last three hours they cook wrapped in foil with some of the baste for moisture and extra flavor.

Then I let them rest for about a half hour before we eat.

Morning Steve. I use apple when I smoke ribs and brisket. I'll toss in a little hickory just for good measure also.

That sounds good Pat. I may add a bit of Hickory later.

I just toss some in for a little variance in the flavor. I need to get some smoking done, now that the weather is nice!

This is my first use of apple chips..

you all are making me really hungry now!

Maybe I need to take a picture and post it to push you over the edge..

You'll like them Steve, them make a great flavor!

Lunch was great, I had a double bacon cheese burger!
