Want To Host A Smoking Hot Party?

If you want to host a smoking hot party… use your smoker.  Not sure what a smoker is? A smoker is a grill like cooker that cooks at low heat. You can get electric smokers or ones that use charcoal.

Most people cook ribs and Boston butts on smokers.  Using a smoker is great for pool parties, or just good old fashion hang out for no reason parties.

This past weekend my husband and I hosted a party where we smoked up some chicken legs and thighs and served it with homemade potato salad, corn on the cob and peach cobbler.  After all, the real reason people have a party is to eat really good food.

Not Just A Way To Prepare Food

The smoker seems to be more than a cooking utensil. It can be a form of entertainment.  At least it seemed so at our party. While the meat was smoking, the guys sat in the backyard and watched the smoker do its magic.  Since it has still been warm in our area, all of us gals decided to enjoy the air-conditioning while playing a game or two of rummy as our form of entertainment.  Basically it was a low-key relaxing afternoon. Sometimes the best parties are the simple hang out, do nothing special ones.

Smoking Hot Party For A Crowd

Our party was a small intimate group of ten.  But, don't think this type of party is only for small groups. Smoking hot parties are great for family reunions, office picnics, class reunions and even summer church functions. It just make take a little more planning to co-ordinate this for a large crowd.

Use the concept hire the help.

If you are planning  to serve a big crowd for say an office picnic, but you don't feel you have the skills to cook for a large group, don't sweat it. You can hire a caterer that specializes in smoked food.  These specialty caterers will cook, ribs, pork steak, or smoked chicken.  Some caterers will even offer even more specialty smoked food like smoked salmon.

Using a smoker brings a bit of flair to your party.  It's not something you do every week which  makes for a smoking hot party and a great time.
