Ingredients
- 15 pounds charcoal briquets
- 2 pounds hickory wood chips
- 1 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 , 4 pound
- 0.5 cups steak seasoning
Instructions

1
Start at least 10 pounds of the charcoal in a torpedo style smoker. You need a fairly hot fire. Fill the secondary pan with cold water, and wait for the coals to turn white. Soak hickory chips in bourbon with enough water to cover. Rub the roast liberally with steak seasoning, being sure to coat all surfaces.

When the coals are ready, place the roast on the top grate. Throw a few handfuls of soaked hickory chips onto the fire, and close the lid. Check the fire every 45 minutes or so, adding more charcoal as needed to keep the fire hot. Every time you check the fire, add more wood chips. Cook for 8 to 10 hours, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the roast. The meat tastes best when rare: 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), but cook to your liking.

Slow Cooked Collard Greens
This recipe for slow-cooked collard greens yields very tender greens with a zip.
Sweet and Sour Kidney Bean Salad
This is the perfect go-to dish for potlucks. It's so quick and easy to make, and actually better made ahead, because it does need a few hours to chill. It has a good balance of sweet to tart, and is a good side dish for most entrees.
Grandma Emma's Fudgy Chocolate Pie
My grandmother's chocolate cream pie was a staple of my childhood. Homemade custard filling with a dense texture. Very rich, not too sweet, and oh-so-satisfying. For convenience, I make this with a store-bought graham cracker crust and top with whipped cream, but she used to make hers with a prebaked pastry crust topped with meringue. Either way, it's delicious. Hope you enjoy!
