What's everyone smokin for the Super Bowl?

I'm starting with a 13lb turkey.I took it out of the brine after 48hrs this morning. I'm going to put in my FE tomorrow. Then on Sunday I'll slice it up for sammys. I also have 5 racks of sides going in on Sunday.Then about 300 jerked chicken wings. Lots of sides being brought over by friends. It is pretty cold up here we are looking at minus 14 celsius about 8 degrees F with a wind chill of minus 20c about minus 4 F. But I have cooked in colder conditions and sometimes my IQ control system freezes up but she keeps on cooking. Heres a tip for you cold weather Qu'ers. Instead of setting controller time to the time you need set it two or three hours more than you need. That way if all freezes over you don't have to worry about thawing out the controller. Use your thermometer as your gauge and the toothpick test for your ribs. Don't worry about your FE that baby will do all the heavy lifting for you no matter how cold it gets..Have a Great SuperBowl Party Everyone.

Gonna make some beef jerky this weekend. Did anyone notice that RD had their eye of the rounds on sale this month? Guess I outta stock up on some.

Wow Rob now that is a spread!! Sounds awesome. Wanna share your wing recipe? Prep and cook times and sauce?

I am going to smoke some cheese on Saturday and then I will be smoking a beef roast for sandwiches on Sunday.

This year is our turn to host the annual SB party for about 25-30 friends. So far we've got the following:

Apps:
- Spicy smoked & lacquered chicken wings
- Mexican meatballs in chipotle sauce
- Spanish tortillas
- Rustic pork and chicken pate’
- Armadillo eggs
- Spicy maple-candied double smoked bacon with green apple slices
- Assorted chips, nuts, detc

Mains:
- Pulled Pork with tweaked versions of Smokin’s mustard and finishing sauces served on Martin’s potato buns
- Italian beef from Johnny’s Beef in Elmwood Park, Il on Gonnella rolls with homemade hot giardinieara and fried Melrose peppers

Sides:
- Smoked baked beans

Desserts:
- Pear and blue cheese tarts

The pork butts will be smoked on Sat. along with the beans. I'll pull the pork and refrigerate it and the beans overnight. The meatballs and pate were previously cooked and ready to come out of the freezer. Most of the remaining prep work will be done on Sat. while the butts and beans are smoking.

Beverages (adult and otherwise) are already chilling, and the guests will bring additional sides, salads, and desserts.

Jalepeno Bisquick Sausage Balls (yum) and Wings

Hey I love seein all the goodies but would love to see recipes as well???

Jalepeno Sausage Balls. Not mine(Hawk Smokers)
These are really good. I highly suggest trying.

Mix all ingredients in bowl and roll into balls.

2 lbs. of sausage (i went with 1lb of sweet and 1 of hot)
3 cups of Bisquick
1 package of sharp cheddar
1 cup of finely chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped Jalepeno's (jarred are much easier and I'm not a big enough Foodie to tell the difference)

smoke to internal 165

Things I've changed. I put one Tablespoon of John Henry Pecan in the mix. I also add more Jalepeno to the mix. I use Jimmy Dean hot for both lbs instead of 1 sweet and 1 hot.
I also shake on JH Pecan on to balls before going in smoker.

Some people rap these in bacon. Some have used cornbread mix instead of Bisquick. Have not tried either.

22 lb Kurabuta (Snake River Farms) pork shoulder + a 10 lb Turducken.

although not strictly for the super bowl, we're doing up a pork butt and a boat load of chipotle orange chicken wings. if all goes well, all this food will be devoured well before the main event.

the wings will be taking a trip thru the amerique for smoke application before heading to the big ceramic grill for crisping!

and i just finished cooking up a fresh batch of chef juke's raspberry-chipotle-peach bbq sauce!

I would love to see the recipe for the chef juke's bbq sauce?

MaxQ, How was that shoulder? Worth the extra bucks?

Hope you don't mind me asking.

OK. Smokin, Max, et al. If we cant' smoke a turkey stuffed with bread stuffing in our smokers, how can we smoke one stuffed with a chicken and a duck? Just curious.

We did a rack of loinbacks. Yummmm!
