Well.

Right now I just have a couple chicken breasts (Camp Chef SGX 36 is a bit much for 2 breasts..haha). I did 15lbs of pork and 8 lbs of tri tip a few weeks ago. Pulled the pork and froze 3/4's of it. We've had tacos, pizza, sandwiches, and put some on my Burger last night. Tomorrow I think I'm keeping it simple and just doing some brats and burgers.

Have you ever made Pernil?...and can it be made on a grill?

I have not. I’ll have to order a couple from the butcher to try out. I’d imagine the Egg will be up to the task.

I'm going to give it a try as well...need to have a big ass shoulder (is that an oxymoron?) with the skin still on...I have not. I’ll have to order a couple from the butcher to try out. I’d imagine the Egg will be up to the task.

Finally made a pork butt I can be proud of. 10lb bone in pork shoulder with traeger coffee rub. Fat slab up at 225 overnight. Took it off at about 11 hours wrapped in butcher paper kicked the heat up to 300 to finish it off. Internal temp of 203 about 2 hours later. And it rested for almost 3 hours before pulling it for our party and damn... Just melted apart and bone came out clean. So satisfying

Update from this morning.
A few slices my kid claimed....
.
Speaking of which. I’ll probably wiggle the bones out and slice like a brisket from now on. The gigantic bones are cool and all but this just eats better.

Good progress today. Cutting 1/4” steel sucks but fire box is 90%. Tank is welded to the legs. I had to lower it cause the “boss” said it was too tall before.

I guess it’s starting to look like a smoker

Not that I'm the most experienced, but I really like this style smoker. Nice work it's looking great.

It’s 1/4” it’s not going to distort/warp. But I did put angle around it to clean up the sloppy cuts. It was not easy cutting the 1/4” without the proper tools. I’ll order it to the size I need next time. I will probably add some bracing on the inside of the firebox door as a just in case. If that warps, I won’t be able to close it. If for some reason the other warped, it would effect the cooking process.
