A bunch of chicks smoking around the fire tonight while the peepers peeped and the wrens sang their songs loudly till dusk.

Pork butt was on sale... used SC mustard sauce as a binder for some rub. Used apple and hickory cause that’s all I had.
Tried out my new recteq bullseye. Did great!

Damn, I keep forgetting to take pictures of so much awesomeness. Did 2 shoulders yesterday on the grill. Started at 8am and finished up around 6 last night. I love doing pulled pork and some good ole home made eastern NC bbq sauce. :)
Any recipes you recommend for the sauce?

:lol:

most anyone that makes the sauce won’t give up their recipe.

but, here is basically what I do (adjust proportions to your liking):

2 parts ACV
1 part white vinegar
1 part water
Crushed red pepper flakes
Louisiana hot sauce
Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Salt
Light brown sugar
Liquid smoke
I sometimes add in some ketchup to thicken it up and add some body.
I also sometimes add in some lemon juice

simmer on stove for an hour to blend flavors. Cool and serve. If I want to make it in bulk without having to refrigerate, I omit the brown sugar and ketchup and add it later if I want. The sugar adds in some sweetness to cut the heat and soften the tangy-ness from the vinegar.
 
In progress. Redefining Monday!

Final product! Usual rubs and whatnot, took too long as was cooking low so could work at same time, then hit them with a strawberry, chipotle, bourbon glaze. Yum! Homemade slaw with cabbage, onions, cilantro, herbs, seasonings and a cucumber dressing with little sour cream, rice wine vinegar, s&p, more herbs. Not bad for a Monday. :)

@hurt4x4 and @Will miller came over yesterday...
Did some smoked beef cheek with pastor rub then braised it in beef broth with onions and chipotle sauce till it was able to shred. Forgot to take pics of it shredded but it was juicy fatty and had a great smoke ring...

Also cut up some pork belly and made my own hickory maple bacon and hot honey burnt ends.

Then reverse seared some massive ribeye’s with Hardcore Carnivore BLACK seasoning. Pretty cool stuff. Seared them a little too long so they came out medium. Still juicy. Live and learn.
