Started with the taters – here are the stars of the show

Put the cream on to warm while I sliced the taters nice and thick

Then layered the taters, cream mixture, and cheeses (you can never have *too* much cheese!)

Put on the Memphis at 285 for about an hour. Meanwhile, got started on the pork. Started off with a ½ pork loin. Cut into 1“ slices and coated in evoo and then a heavy dusting of Little Louies

Then onto the Memphis. When IT hit 100 started making the sauce. Went with some apple butter that we made a couple of years ago, brown sugar, lemon, cinnamon, and ground cloves

Sauced at 120 IT and let them ride until 145. Pull everything off and tented the pork for a bit of a rest

They were both absolutely awesome! I have been tweaking on BP’s tater recipe and I have it to where Jan and I love it! Next, it was on to dessert – started off with a standard (if there is such a thing) dark chocolate fudge brownie mix

Cook the brownies as per the box (well, except for the addition of a bit of smoke for that added kick)

That is when things began getting interesting – cut out a good sized chunk and into a bowl

Then I added some cherries, fresh whipped cream, and some chocolate sprinkles – holy smoke, NOW I can’t move!

Nicely done kite!
I really like your taters! The last time I tried making them it was a disaster..
Very nice meal!

My first cut at the taters was not so good either.. but I kept tweaking until I hit the sweet spot - these were right on the money!
