Grad Cook

[Old Glory]

Posting and update on my Grad Cook. Started fire at 3:00 am. Took almost two hours to come up to 225. While that was happening I trimmed and rubbed 60 lbs of pork Butt. Put in smoker at 6:00 am.

Time to take them off the smoke. Been 12 hours+. Just hit 205.

That looks good. I lived on the north shore for several years and miss the sea food. The clams with the bellys at the clam shacks in Ipwich and the chocolates in Marble and there Sweet Sloops. Back when I lived there lobster was around $2 a pound cheaper than steak.

[Old Glory]

Its about $6.99 now. ClamBox, JT Farnums, and Woodmans all on Clam Ally.

Pork pre-pull. Ribs next.

Following this cook is so much fun. Hat's off to you, Old Glory . I'd never attempt a cook of this magnitude, which is why it's so much fun to watch.

Thanks! It has been fun but exhausting! The graduate...my daughter...spells her name the same way you do. Not as common as the "C" spelling.

[fzxdoc]

Congrats to your daughter, plus she has a great name. You're right, it's not a common spelling. I'm always having to spell it. Oh well, there are worse things. Have a fun cook, Old Glory .
