I own a smoker, so I'm smoking some pulled pork, brisket, and ribs!. There is going to be a crowd and smoking meat is not something I can do everyday, so when there is the occasion, I take advantage!. I'm also having the usual side dishes, corn on the cob, coleslaw, beans which I make in the smoker, etc!. If you are going to have a large crowd, impress them by having some barbeque!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
