As Summer is officially over and Fall has begun,
it’s time to start planning and preparing for all
of the holiday reunions that make this season so
great! We keep the pit going so much around here
that it’s easy to throw something together just
about any time, but our holiday plans always start
out early so they will be much more than average.
For me, it is much easier to start planning ahead
rather then play catch up once the time has
arrived and this planning process usually makes
the difference between an average get together
versus those unforgettable reunions.

Below are a few things that might just help you have one of those
unforgettable times this year and avoid any mishaps.
1.
Most grills and pits usually get a good spring cleaning, but a quick touch up might be in order for that special family get together especially after a long summer. Just remember re- season your pit before cooking on it after a cleaning.

2. Most of us have our own special sauces and rubs and now is
the time to start playing around with them or ordering them to ensure they will be ready when the time arrives.
3. If you want to try something new and different then now is also the time to begin practicing as most disasters happen on first attempts with new things.
4. I have learned over the years is to use only a few in the
planning and practicing process, as everyone loves a
great surprise.
Until next month... keep it smokin’
