I drove over to my little brothers house before 7am!! On a Saturday!! I was there by 7 to start the beef brisket and then I went for a run before coming back so he and I could go to the store to get some more wood chips. (I would like to add that in a house where three boys live I was the first and only person to use the smoker!) (Wow I am really getting after those exclamation points)
Little B and I come back from the store and I cleaned their house because it is the most disgusting thing that could happen to houses. Then we go outside and sit out on the deck with the smoke. We also cleaned off the deck and removed extremely old beer from the cooler outside by shaking the cans and trying to shoot each other when we opened them and poured them out. (There wasn't a whole lot to do since it was just the two of us and we already smelled very strongly of meat smoke) It is probably about 10am at this time and already hot hot hot outside since we were in the middle of the triple digit extravaganza that was summer 2011. We looked longingly at the creek down below and wished for a pool (no one would ever get in that creek unless they wanted a staph infection).
So little B glances at the empty ice chest and gets out of his chair, walks over, fills it up with water and carries it over to his chair and sticks his feet in. Genius! Now we had our own little mini pool so we could still stay outside and watch the meat. Like this...
We sat out there until about noon before HBO showed up for the party and then others trickled in. They all laughed of course, but they didn't laugh for too long when they realized the geniusness of the idea after sweating for a few moments. I actually almost got HBO to bring her bathing suit when I told her we were hanging by the pool. hehe. So we decided getting a kiddie pool would be a good idea for the next time so we got one and it was.
The meat smoking experience was so fun and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.
