Had to work today but we normally do some form of potluck on holidays. I did up a couple Boston butts for lunch and a couple pies. One that was injected with Gunshot and rubbed with Gunpowder. Both smoked with hickory for 4 hours, than low and slow for 18 hours - [IMG]http://img542.imageshack.us/img...

Any one going to the AGM this year who would like to try some hot stuffed peppers? These are pickled jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and sharp cheddar. I plan to spice things up this year and if you let me know a bit ahead I will make extra.
