I just put 23 lbs. of pork on my smoker...I'm looking at a high of 34 tomorrow, so I'm smoking all night. I have my alarm set for 5 AM. I'll check temps, and throw a few logs on, if necessary, then promptly drink some mulled mead, and go back to sleep.

Thats a lotta meat. Gonna be a long day, but look forward to see what you do with it.

I'll post some meat pics this afternoon. My smoker held a 225 temp for 11 hours, without even having to adjust the vents! I opened the vents up a bit to up the temp to 250. Pork and mulled mead for dinner tonight.

This is a nice thirst quenching Dunley DDH! Here are a couple of the pork shoulders before I wrapped them in foil and brought them up to 200, then wrapped them in some towels, amd threw them in a cooler for a few hours. Time to make some slaw and black eyed peas.

Beautiful

Mulled mead.

2 year aged HB oaked wildflower mead, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cider, orange fresh ginger. This is a dry mead, so the cider provides the only sweetness. Man, what a delicious Holiday beverage this is. It warms you right up!

The oak from the mead synergizes well with the cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.

Lol! My grass stays green year round. It was covered in 3 inches of snow a few days ago, though.

What do you guys think about cellaring beer? Alot of people do it but I hear many say it's a waste of good beer. Any real benifits to cellaring or does it just satisfy our hoarding instincts?
