Slow Smoke BBQ 2.0

Theory meet practice. Much thought has gone into this device, my backyard slow smoking mechanism. The heat retention and radiant nature of the terra cotta pot, the high smoldering temperature of natural hardwood charcoal, the high tech application of my duel read probe thermometer and a pot full of soaked cherry chips and chunks. It all comes together into a perfect days smoke. 

A Labor of Love - BBQ

For many years of my life I have proclaimed my love of the gastro-genre BBQ, in recent years I discovered that what I thought was BBQ was in truth not BBQ, that proper diction would indicate that I loved grilling, steaks, burgers, what have you. The truth was that I had never actually BBQ'd. Until now. What I'm calling Operation Backyard Smoker 1.0 I consider a great success. The flavors imparted into this pork after hours of exposure to heat and cherry smoke are well beyond your expectation, the depth of cherry smoke, the colors and scents inspire passion and fury in the heart of those who know. This is the sight of true BBQ.
