• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

It seems like it's rained for 40 days and 40 nights in NC. Need something in my life so here is what I'm working with. Cheap ass harris teeter porterhouse tonight and overnight smoke of a relatively good quality pork butt. Overnight temps gonna be a challenge for that, but I will prevail.

That will work. Where in NC are you?
 
I’m with ya in the rain, it’s been awful in NC. I’m about to prep my pork for the smoker. Have a chicken I’ll prep and put on tomorrow. Gonna make my grandmother’s hash recipe tomorrow night or Monday.
 
Took forever. Ended up taking about 16 hours for 8 pounder. I used hickory chunks but I make sure to use lump charcoal for the coals. Adds a lot of flavor over charcoal briquettes. It got cold last night and cooked lower temp than I would have preferred (~200 degrees). I was drunk and wasn't getting up to add coals or monkey with vent. Beauty of a pork butt though, forgiving.
