My Birthday

March 11th, 2010

I had a wonderful and enjoyable birthday on Saturday. Besides all the other special stuff, my wife arranged to get me a new SQ36 Meadow Creek Smoker! I didn’t have a clue about it until we drove up to my dad’s house where we were going to smoke with my brother’s smoker (or so I thought!).

I’ve wanted a small backyard smoker for quite a while, so I’m quite delighted. Mine has a second tier grate and one of those optional grill pans, so I can grill steaks and burgers, OR smoke ribs, chicken, brisket, or whatever with an offset firebox.

We also fired up the BBQ26S Chicken Cooker and grilled some steaks, which I had marinated overnight and seasoned with a homemade mixture. Of course, everything turned out delicious, and we had lots of left-overs. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Signing off for more of those birthday ribs,

Lavern

PS. Thanks, honey.

    WOW…. what an awesome gift. I’m saving for a smoker myself. I’ve been a fan of Smokey Mountain since retiring from the military in 2005. I wish they had a lay-a-way program to make it easier on us (we can hide a little each week from our spouses, LOL). Enjoy your gift and keep the pictures rolling.

    Happy Birthday Lavern, fantastic Smoker your wife got you there guy. Congatulations, will be working on my wife to get me one like that. I suppose I will have to show her these pictures over and over and teach her how much better these Meadow Creek smokers are over my setup. Looking forward to more news from you all summer. Doug

    Happy birthday. Perfect gift for a meat lover. Last week I smoked a brisket on a chicken grill while visiting family in the US. (a little hard to keep the temp low enough but it was good ) Sure would have liked your present. I must make picures of my big bash at the end of May. We will be smoking seasoned beef roasts from my on animals, a pig on the PR 72, and Bacons on the little smoker. You should join us. I would like to make those potatoes in the picture. can you send me the instructions.

    Hey, everyone! Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes and nice comments.

    Mike, are you on my email list? (You can subscribe at the top of this page.) I’ll try to soon publish that grilled potato recipe, so you can try it. It’s my favorite way of cooking potato wedges. :)
