BBQ Bar Mitzvah Shabbos

This past Shabbos was 13 years in the making as we celebrated the bar mitzvah of our son. This also meant 13 people for Friday night's meal and another 11 for Shabbos day. An oppurtunity like this could not be passed up as I decided to use both the smoker and the grill for this Shabbos.

The first chimney getting lit

12 Pounds of Flanken Ribs to be smoked with cherry wood

3.5 hours later the ribs were ready for phase 2. They were given a light brushing of BBQ sauce and wrapped and placed in the oven for another 1.5 hours to finish.

A very important beer run was made for the part 2 of the Shabbos Bar Mitzvah BBQ

Finally at 6:30 PM before heading to shul I put the Beer Can Chickens on that were pulled off around 8:15 PM

Starting off BBQ Month properly

You know that your children are being brought up properly when they wake up in the morning and before they have even had breakfast they are asking if they are going to get BBQ for dinner. Little did they know that May is the office BBQ Month. In this house, every month is a BBQ Month.

Earlier in the day when I went to go get some BBQ supplies, I overheard a boy ask his father, what do you call a cow with no legs? I couldn't help it and jumped in and responded, we call it BBQ.

I had a little lump charcoal left over to add a bit of wood flavor to my BBQ

While the grill is warming up after pouring the charcoal, I like to put down the onions to start cooking

Next came the burgers

And the spiral hot dogs

While I still have some heat coming off the charcoal, I like to throw on some chicken so that I have dinner for tomorrow covered also.
