I wap planning on making grilled steak tacos.

I'm doing a birthday party on the 9th to commemorate my 70th with my
daughter
and a few friends. Main course will be grilled steak. Sirloin has been
recommended,
but I think T-Bone, Porterhouse, or NY Strips are in order. Since I have
access to
a real butcher, I think I'll order up some good stuff. This event isn't
going to happen
again. Daughter is bringing baked beans and garlic bread. I'm thinking of
serving
up Carolina coleslaw and charcoal baked potatoes. (Potatoes baked naked in
the hot
coals). Probably have greenbeans seasoned with bacon or fatback on the side.
Oh yeh, daughter is bringing ear corn which will be grilled in the husk
before being
stripped and buttered.

I'm smoking some pork.

2 7.5 pound picnics
2 7.5 pound boston butts

I've never smoked this much meat in my WSM before, so it is an
adventure. I've done a single picnic or butt before and it was great.
But I want to cook more at a time so I'll have leftovers.

I'm using cowboy lump and smoking it overnight. I'll let you know how
it comes out. I setup a little covering in case it rains -- it always
rains when I'm barbecueing...

Well, not much time available to be dedicated to cooking I'm
afraid. We spent the majority of the weekend looking for
some property to relax on and for me to deer hunt. Think we
found one. :-)

Anyhow, so given that I'm just going with porterhouse steaks
and zucchini and summer squash on the grill accompanied by
some sweat corn.
