Enjoy your extra paid day off! Sounds great!
Happy Labor Day, FRiends!
Thanks
Weather has flipped from chance of rain after 1pm to before 8am so I might be running the smoker today. Lot to be done to prep though so I don’t know.
Gonna run to town and get spices, foil and some bolts to put in vertical chamber of smoker to set racks on. Come back and install bolts and start rounding up wood. Plenty of white, red oak and enough hickory for a touch of flavor for ribs which take longest so will start first.
Oh geez, I just looked to my right and saw that I have a dozen pieces of white oak firewood left over from last year. A dead dry hickory I cut down a week ago is 50 foot away from the house. And here I thought I was going to have to roam the property.
The smoke is on. Salmon, Ribs, Cornish Hens, Tri Tip Roast. Happy Labor Day
