I don’t know if my neighbors ar going to love me or hate me - tiny yards all close together so they’re going to smell what’s cooking……

I have no idea what I’m doing but go big or go home: here’s two big ass pieces of meat (14# pork butt came apart)

First obstacle: how do you pick up a 14# hunk of hot meat? I don’t think any of my cooking utensils can handle that. I didn’t leave room for the tray of Mac and cheese I wanted to add, plus it will eventually be cooked

    Shopping list. I did not think this through or investigate the details, but ……

    • silicone bbq gloves to pick up that monster
    • apple juice and some sort of sprayer to keep it from drying out

    Did not get a chance to plan the meal but the grill arrived Thursday, I assembled Thursday night, Friday was burnin, and I have people coming over today, so trial by fire.

    Couldn’t find my favorite gazpacho recipe, and it’s too late to make that today: it really needs to sit overnight. Too late for baked beans from scratch. I do have some corn and I thought I saw a Traeger recipe for something like Elotes I needs to find again. Maybe need to hunt down a Mac and cheese recipes e and go shopping

      Smoked Mac and cheese is so good. Sounds like you’re having a great time.

        My kids are home for the weekend, I have people coming over, and started learning about a new to me way to cook! Definitely excited for this whole weekend!
