Granny's gone and done it again

What a crust. Did you see that Granny?

Aw, we cheated. The bottom crust is a frozen one and the top is puff pastry. We'll take credit for its artistry, though!

Either way she'll eat the filling and toss the crust.

The smoker is still idling along at 228° now. Going to take it up and 10:00 and check the internal temp. If 170° or less It's going in the oven at 170° until we wake up in the morning.

My brother has a smoker and he uses it when they get deer. It is much easier then trying to keep the temperature even in the old smoke houses.
We used to smoke our meat in a metal barrel with the bottom removed. Put bars across the top to hang meat on and a piece of metal roofing on the top to seal it.
We dug a trench outside the barrel that went into the barrel. You built the fire in the trench and covered it. Depending on how windy the day was, you uncovered the fire just enough to give it the right draft. The barrel acted as a chimney. I can still smell it ...ummm

That sounds like the original UDS. Ugly Drum Smoker.

Championship cook offs have been won with UDS smokers. I almost built one but I'm getting lazy and the next one I buy will be watched and controlled with my phone.

Granny must have rocked herself to sleep.

I made chicken pot pie again tonight. So easy, and it's a family favorite.

Now I know why it is called the butt. I see the padding. It's been smoking for 10 1/2 hours now.

Is that the fat cap?
