Plans for the Smoker

We have company arriving tomorrow for the holiday weekend. I am planning to give our electric smoker a work out. I hit the grocery today and picked up baby back ribs, a couple of whole chickens and some sausage. The plans are for a couple of cold salads and some homemade barbecue beans to go along with it all. There's already a big watermelon in the spare refrigerator. I think I'll make my husband put on a tuxedo shirt and serve me cocktails while I supervise the cooking. There's got to be some perks for me in this somewhere!
