Smoke has been rolling since 4am here at Poverty Flats. We have smoked a couple of beef shoulders, a couple of pork shoulders, and about 60lbs of venison summer sausage. It's been a little cool here today but with a fire in the firebox it wasn't bad. It really is a lot of work, but it don't seem like it. I enjoy what I do, but not as much as I did when Granny was here with me.
Some of what was cooked today will be overnighted to South Texas. Yes, South Texas !! We are shipping Texas style BBQ from Missouri to Texas ! Like they don't have any BBQ joints down there. My son Don W. lives in Clute TX, near Galveston on the coast. He and his wife are expecting a brand new baby boy ( grandchild # 20) and she is having a baby shower with about 60 people to be fed. And Don W. thinks our BBQ is the best in the world. Yes, I know he is right. Anyway, they want BBQ so BBQ they will get. I just hope those Texas cooks don't march north and attack. They get pretty touchy about bragging rights to BBQ.
Well, enough of that. It's been a long day and I'm getting to be an old fossil who needs a lot more sleep than I got last night.
I deeply appreciate those of you who drop by from time to time. I hope you will continue to stop by and visit when you can.

Hi Don,
Sounds like you have been pretty busy down there. But then that is a good thing. I sure am ready for warm weather to get here and STAY, I'm tired of this yo-yo temperatures! Hope you have a great day and tell everyone we said hello.

Wow..that is a lot of work, but like you said, you enjoy it, so that's a good thing!
I've seen those Barbeque Cook Offs on television, and you're right..they do take it very seriously!
You should think about signing up for one of those sometimes..no doubt in my mind at all that you'd take first prize!
I think those prizes are pretty big, too! :)
Jan, thank you for the compliment and for stopping by. And yes, we do have the best BBQ this side of San Antonio. But, we're in Missouri, and the locals just keep saying "Show ME" so the Cook Offs may just be the way to do it. DM
