Butt Smokin' and Jambalaya
« Reply #-1 on: August 27, 2016, 09:14:16 AM »

A friend of ours that loves my cooking asked me to make some pulled pork and jambalaya for a couples shower for a family member.  So about ten thirty last night forty pounds of pork butts went on the Traeger for a overnight smoking. They're still on there and the whole neighborhood smells delicious not to mention that they look really nice. They'll be removed and pulled later.
Yesterday I did the prep work for the 5 gallons of jambalaya I'll make this afternoon. I smoked the chicken thighs a bit for more flavor.

The butts on the Traeger



The chicken getting a lill smoke



Smoked, garlic and hot sausage getting sliced as well as dicing the tasso. You've got to remember staying properly hydrated when doing this type of work too!



More updates later..........

Here are the butts after they came off the Traeger and cooled enough to handle pulling. Got busy and forgot to get picture of the pork after it was pulled. Gorgeous! And tasty too!!!

Everything but the rice at this point



It was time to leave and the pictures I took came out crappy but here's what the final product looked like in a serving I set aside for my son.

Having tasted your Jambalaya before I know that was good.
