Swift loves BBQ.

Mmmmmm, pork butt.

Barbecuing for friends and family is always fun especially when you have your trusty dog and he is willing to help you with any scraps. The mid-week festivities threw me for a loop where I had to pre-cook all of my meat the weekend prior to the Fourth. The pulled pork sandwiches were the hands-down winner. I also made a batch for the peeps at work and they seemed to enjoy as well. There were even a couple of vegetarians who crossed over, just for the day. The ribs were good, but didn’t fare nearly as well as the pulled pork. Those butts are pretty indestructible.

One thing that I did notice is that we cooked way too much food. Perhaps we’ll plan better next year, but BBQ is one of those things where you can’t just put one rack of ribs in the smoker. Might as well fill the thing if you’re going to cook anything at all.

I didn’t take as many photos as I would have liked to have taken. But you can check out my photo set by clicking here.
