Visit to PS2

I'm going to come back and update with more text but I know there are folks eagerly anticipating these pictures. In the meantime the synopsis is that we took PS2 added a trash can with some modification and lots of tin foil and smoked a wild boar, which was succulent. Then we reconfigured PS2 to it's original state and took the Garbage Can added a 10$ grill like the ones you see at State Parks on the 4th of July, and made a second smoker/indirect grill. Hopefully the pictures will tell the story. And yes PS2 looks eerily like Brancusi's Infinite Column, I guess great mind's think alike.

Spring Cleaning and Upgrades

Springtime means Spring Cleaning. After a couple cold months here I figured I'd break down the Pot Smoker and do a little maintanence. Leaves, dirt, and who knows what had made it's way into the rubble masonry base. The black marks you can see on the pots is rendered pork fat that has seeps through the hairline cracks in the pots and the gap between the pots. The gap between the pots is completely sealed now with the carbonized fat grout.

Here's a closeup of the pork fat grout.

The new base constructed with more stone and brick than previous as well as 50lbs of pea gravel and 100lbs of sand.

Finished product and as you can see the base level is so much higher.

The Boston Butt on the right is a new rub, Juniper Berries, Black Pepper, Celery Seed and Orange Peel. Turned out great.

Got to try it out! Worked great, maybe even better than before.
