How much do you trim your packers?  These were packers and I split the flat and point, but lay them back together on the smoker.

i trim my packers to 1/4 inch, plus pulling out the big eye of fat on the side of the flat.

aaron franklin does a good job explaining it here.  the piece i'm talking about, he takes it off at 19:50 in the video

also, don't split the point from the flat until after cooking the flat, thats just weird

i cook the thing whole until the flat is done.  pull it off, split it from the point and wrap it and put it in a cooler for an hour or so.  take the point, cube it into burnt ends, back on the smoker for another hour while the flat rests in the cooler.

Anyone have any good sides? I struggle in the side area. I try to keep things somewhat healthy if possible which limits options, but I can usually sub some things to make it not so fatso.

Another highly underrated side for BBQ is hush puppies.  Whenever I have a big crew over, I will swing by LJS and pick up a big box of them to go.

I usually do a cheesy potato thing with smoked bacon

For a healthier/unsmoked option, I usually do a salad with watermelon

Sorry, nothing to know about the sausage. That is Johnsonville cooked on the smoker. We did have homemade smoked Kielbasa that Dad made last weekend based on this recipe (with a little more garlic): https://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage-recipes/polish-hot-smoked

Some delicious pictures in here.  I have barely been home on the weekends to do any smoking.  3 racks of ribs a few weeks ago is all I have managed.  Might just have to stop by the butcher and get a shoulder for this weekend.
