my pleasure. :)

What a card.

Not to take anything away from Jim's wonderful sense of whimsy - however pork butt is not the part of the pig you might think.

Much smaller. Officially, it might be regarded as a "small, intimate gathering" (not THAT way). There were four of us, six if you count the cats.

I always count the cats.

When I used to eat meat, the only barbecue I would eat was southern-style pulled pork (heh) with Vinegar sauce and mustard.

If anyone is in the Huntsville area at any point, stopping by Gibson's BBQ is mandatory.

I wanted to share pics of Hubby's BBQs.
This one was donated to local HS Booster club. The Club has made enough money to purchase supplies, uniforms and equipment for all the school's extra curricular activities.
Westlake Lions.

This BBQ is being made (and purchased) because someone who belongs to the Booster club liked the first one and wanted one to augment his business so he could take it mobile for party catering.

HH - awesome!!!! I love the custom bbq in the top pic, and I've always wanted to try an offset like the bottom pic.
Very nice work!!

This past weekend's smoked chicken. Supurb. Perfect amount of smoke. I would have taken a pic of the beautiful pink meat, but it disappeared too fast :D

Best part though, was the smores over the leftover charcoal... heh heh heh
I wasn't as dainty as my daughter whilst chowing down. :yum:

I am often disturbed by the constant inability for so many's inability to discern between grilling and BBQ. :right:
Then I feel bad for being a snob.:(

Am I right in thinking that you must be a real old-fashioned buccaneer then , rkzenrage ?

Smoked, Bar-be-qued, Grilled,
Who gives a shit?
As long as the beer's chilled,
Dinner's a hit.

Seak, my uncle had one of these. It was like religion to him. I seem to remember that he'd pre heat it for a couple of hours and then after the coals were gone he'd put the meat in and let it sit.

That was about 35 years ago so I'm not too sure of what he was actually doing.

It was the same color, he called it a HIGH BOTCHI. His pronounciation of Hibachi.

While there IS a distinction between Q and grilling ,
LabR has the right attatude !!!!

BBQ advice
 

I have a problem. The refrigerator is stocked with chicken and veggies for the BBQ and my wife has informed me that there is not enough room to defrost the lamb shank. It's a 5lb lamb shank with bone.

Would it be possible to BBQ it straight from the freezer? I would wash it and put on a dry rub.

Until next week, I have two grills, so I have the space and the propane. The BBQ does not start until 5pm. Is it doable?
