Over Labor Day weekend we went to Boone, NC with some friends Jay knows from his old life in DC. We had a blast, we ate, we drank, we cooked, and we heard lots of stories about what a terrible comedian Jay was.
More on that later, though.
Also while we were there, our friends requested that we find a great BBQ place since there aren't tons of great places to get pulled pork where they live.
Or, any, according to them.
So, we found this place. Bandana's Bar B Que and Grill.

I haven't told you about my smoker yet, have I?
Well, I have one.
That's pretty much it. It was a great investment a few years ago, and I use it all the time!
And by that, I mean that I use it at least twice a year.
If you have a grill, you can make it into a smoker! I've even seen online guides for getting smoke into your regular oven - google that crap and make yourself a smoker for this weekend!
Smoking food is kind of like cooking in a Crock Pot - hard to mess up, which I love! This is my method for smoking a turkey that works really well, but you can alter the cooking time or brining method to suit your needs!
