AJ, looks like you and your guests are in for a real treat. Can't wait to see the after pics. What kind of wood are you smoking the bird and the loin with?

What guests?...gigglin' here...this is just what I am cooking for this weeks left overs...there may be a couple of people coming by later but not sure...its fine if it is just my sweet wife and I....

using hickory...
 
AJ..very nice spread you got goin' on. Drool factor of 9.5 and could go higher when you post final pics. I'm especially looking forward to the popper pics. What's in the can under the bird?

Cheers, TB.

:embaressed to say a diet caffeine free coke is in the can....no canned beer here at the house:
 
AJ that looks like fake bacon! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
 
Yup AJ fail...got caught by THP using fake bacon on three poppers...those are for the wife

Damn, these are mouth watering....literally

second plate full of poppers, chicken, and pork loin ready to eat...

I am going to call these Jerkipenos...they are wrapped in ham (for the most part) and the smoking almost makes jerky out of the ham...

Nice work AJ. Tip for you on the beer-can chicken: If you find that it is starting to brown too much wrap it in foil. I had the same thing happen to me a few times till I figured that out. I sooooo want one of those poppers. My pics will follow later tonight.
