Rain and freezing rain.
Got six leg qtrs on the grill just slow grillin'. Gettin' the boat ready, rods ready/changing line on a few...with hal-flies, triple ripples, jigs. We're on the crappie prowl early thirty tomorrow morning. Hit 72 here today, gonna be a little warmer tomorrow, and the moon is saying hit it. See if I can't put up a couple pics of some slab crappie tomorrow. If the crappie don't cooperate, we'll swing thru the Captain D's drive-thru with boat in tow (wouldn't that be a helluva pic at the drive-thru window), buy a 10-piece family meal with slaw, hush puppies, and fries...get it back to the house, snap a pic...and lie like a damn rug. Lol
Yah, we get that here too. Plus snow. I have a covered porch for that though, and I smoke year round here. Food that is. Weed is also legal here now and in AK... but I am older and that no longer interests me.
I threw some red alder into my wood stove this afternoon and this place smells like bacon now. So now I am defrosting a pork butt to smoke this evening. Anyone know why a pork shoulder roast is called a butt? I never figured that one out.
I'll send you the rotisserie setup here a little later.You rock the Weber my friend. Those look excellent. Did a pork roast on mine today. Finished in the oven. It's making everyone in the house crazy. I am picture challenged. Also, send me a pm about the rotisserie set up I saw in one of your post. That thing was very NICE!

Put a shed roof over it, be done with it. Pretty simple to do. I say simple, I come from a long line of developers/builders/framers...it's like riding a bike to me.Is there a such thing as an uncovered porch?
My front porch isn't big enough for a grill and the back is a patio. Was thinking of turning it into a porch this summer though.
Sounds like ya oughta be able to handle it.Yeah that was the thought. Just it got added to "the list" which is about 8 pages long and includes finishing projects I started years ago too. I'm pretty well a jack of all trades. Doing some plumbing and wiring right now (water booster pump at home) and need to go finish putting a floor in a bathroom on the rental house later tonight.
That's a nice knife. You stone sharpen it?Couple of pics of the Boston butt from a couple of days ago...that Carolina seasoning I found at Bass Pro turned out pretty good.

Haven't put it or any in that particular set of knives on any stones yet. Usually just sharpen them real quick with a sharpening steel, then touch them up with a Henckels two-stage semi-course and fine, pull through, with steel and ceramic wheels. That knife is from a Chicago Cutlery set. I use my Zwilling/Henckels set much more than the Chicago Cutlery. The 18-pc set of Zwilling/Henckels stay razor sharp.That's a nice knife.

Good plan you got there.Opening Day Doggs
Kayem Old Tyme Red Hots
Rays Down East Schooner mustard
Sauerkraut
Buttered and toasted hot dog rolls
Good old domestic pilsner
Put a small slice in each end of hotdog. Put dogs into pan with a beer and bring to a low simmer. Simmer 8 or 10 min, remove from beer and place on a medium hot grill. Grill till casing just about ready to split. Brush rolls with melted butter and toast rolls on both sides. A cast iron pan works great for this. Add dog to roll and top with mustard and sauerkraut. Eat and repeat with an ice cold pilsner.

Man that looks fine!!I posted these in the what's for dinner forum but they actually belong here.
Two hunks of Corned beef from the close out bin at Kroger, coated in Black Pepper and smoked over Hickory.
At $2.99 a pound, it makes for some pretty awesome Pastrami.
