Â* Well , that ain't all I bought ... all told we spent a little over
250 bucks , BUT we've got enough steaks to last us a year or so - all
vacuum bagged - and enough pork loin steaks and country style ribs ,
beef roasts , hamburger , and chicken to last at least 3-4 months . Also
2 more 10 lb pork butts for LOW AND SLOW smokin' . Pulled the one I
already had out to thaw ... probably put it on Wednesday night for
Thursday dinner .
