It's been hot & dry here this summer,I went 'scouting' Friday..

 

So, about 5pm, a guy calls my cell,,wants some BBQ for a family picnic Sat. afternoon..."kinda short order,Dude"...but..he runs a mill close by, so' I GOT-R- DONE Sat morning..

 

stuffed smoked sausage rolls:

And, some Baby back ribs:

 

 

Sunday, He said Que was great, & brought me some goodies( kiln dried Ash, Oak, Maple, & Cherry):

 

And, some apple ( gotta dry it):

 

 

So, today, while stacking this wood, I witnessed some new birds hatch in a nest built on the tongue of my boat trailer( shows how much fishing I've done this year )

Looks like they want BBQ

 

Well, back to my real job Mon. so I can rest up

What a great ideal and a beautiful rod too. Someone's really going to love showing it off.

Great job on the rod. What kind of snakes were they? Massasauga's? Tough to tell from the pics and not knowing my snakes all that well. I can't believe I missed dinner. It looked soooooo good! What did you stuff the rolls with? If you don't mind sharing.

that's a very cool looking rod you made!

oh and I can use some of that cherry wood for my smoker too...

*edit to add* PS I want to see a pic of the smoker you use too.

Eastern Timber Rattlers...black & yellow phase...neat critters!

 

Sausage rolls can be stuffed with anything in your imiganation..ones above have peppers/onions/ diced tomatoes, pepperoni & cheddar cheese.

 

try this....roll sausage out ...put in 2 hotdogs, add onions, mustard, & 'texas hot sauce'...roll it up & smoke the sucker!

 

"Nellie" , is an OLD boiler of some type, welded up as a 'horizontal' smoker...I also have 2 UDS ( Ugly Drum Smoker)..which excel at ribs & turkeys...

 

Nellie, before new paintjob..

Turkey ( & chicken drums for my kid),smoked on UDS...

Love the smokers! Thoses bear pictures are amazing! Did he hang around long? Or did you have to take "care" of him?
