Nice. My fiance's family (female members) were down from Ohio this weekend and was fascinated with the term Boston Butt. Apparently they dont call them that up there. So they all giggled when they talked about eating my butt.
I saw that a couple days ago. They've got a huge turnout of competitors, but doing it Easter weekend seems to be an odd choice. It would be fun to enter it next year though.
Just ordered 8 cases (16 shoulders) to pick up tomorrow afternoon. Throwing them on Saturday morning. Pictures to follow.
^ Is that supposed to look like NC?
Interesting you mention that. I never noticed that before. At Ribfest yesterday, there were tons of different designs and concepts. It was interesting to say the least.
Okay Sheik,
As noted above, I am the owner of a 24 hour old barrell charcoal smoker, with side box. I assume I should be a man and use actual hardwood, rather than briquets, right?
Any advice for a brand-newbie? Places to buy materials? Hardwood? Where do I look on the web for a primer?
Depending on how things turn out this weekend at Ribfest, I think we may be entering this competition in Salisbury this fall.

Its during our open week, a KCBS sanctioned event, and the prize money is pretty good.
I think we are going to do this. Who's in?
So I've begun the process of renovating the tailgate trailer. For stability reasons, I'm moving the smoker from the side to perpendicular across the front of the trailer. It's going to involve a lot of cutting and welding, but I think in the long run it'll make it much more stable while pulling it down the road and will make the layout more accessible.
