Unicorn wood from the magical forests of Elendil. The elves get kinda torqued every time I chop down a tree but all I do is flash my diamond-bladed chainsaw and they back off....

I use Big Green Egg brand hardwood lump charcoal. My local pool store is a BGE distributor so I pickup charcoal whenever I get acid. For added smoke I use a steel smoke box loaded with wood chips. I usually get small bags of the wood chips from my local hardware store and I believe they are Weber brand chips. I once had a few big mesquite limbs come down in my yard that I cut to small chunks and seasoned. That year I had lots of mesquite smoked meats. Apple wood is a bit of specialty item around here as apple trees don’t grow well (unless you live close to the apple farms in Wilcox).

Do you realize every time a unicorn tree is chopped down, a smurf never gets to go to the prom?

HEY! This is a family-friendly website

 

[Esloser]

I was going to edit my post, but figure I’ll leave it for comedic value. Not sure what a porn shoulder is, but it could be something from the 1800’s.

 

[Brentr]

Really [emoji50]looks great so far

 

[ctrav]

Ribs look really good! Might want to edit the shoulder comment

Well if there’s “that” type of shoulder on level 1, I don’t even wanna know what kind of shenanigans are going on on level 2 & 3!

Close the lid and let everyone get snuggly warm. Always good to have a cold beer by the grille when the mercury is rockin it at 105F -

Awesome looking shoulder! I always forget to take the finished picture. We did 4 racks of ribs and a shoulder yesterday and they came out awesome.

Not like a great Bloody Mary with super colossal pimento stuffed olives to start off a lazy Sunday [emoji482]

 

[blazin]

Thanks all, 14 hours on to hit perfection! This year was special as my 3 year old "wanted to learn how to smoke meat."

Can't wait for my pool to finish to have my own lazy Sundays pool side

Stuffed “plaster” shells? Me spider senses tell me something else was “plastered”!

Worked all day in crazy heat - by CT standards..
On top of that was on a miserable inferno of a bluestone deck..

I went home sipped on my pool & cannonballs into some beer!!
