INGREDIENTS 

One box of Cheez-Its

One box of Goldfish crackers

Killer Hogs' The BBQ Rub

AC BBQ's Lemon Pepper rub

One stick of melted butter 

A few drops of Worcestershire sauce

STEP ONE. Load up a fullsize pan with Cheez-Its, Goldfish (or Penguins crackers, as I did) and fold them equally. You can also add Chex-Mix or cashews depending on the crowd - and yes, even M&Ms would be cool because of the hard shell. Because my daughter has a peanut allergy, I omitted the nuts but make this one your own. Shake a generous amount of both The BBQ Rub and Lemon Pepper over the crackers and set aside. 

STEP TWO. Melt a stick of butter and mix in both rubs along with Worcestershire sauce before folding into the mixture.

STEP THREE. If you haven't lit the smoker, go outside and do so NOW. Once your cooking vessel reaches 250 degrees, set the pan inside folding the crackers every fifteen minutes. The smoked Cheez-Its are finished at one hour or when the color is pronounced enough for your satisfaction.  Pull from the cooker, add one more shaking of The BBQ Rub, and set aside for fifteen minutes before serving. 

I bet you can't eat just one.

In the final season of Tailgating For Everyone, let me introduce you to my latest toy: Junior. 

Meet Junior. He cost me four wheels and the first item I smoked. 

Thanks to this week's taste testers - and neighbors - for sampling product and giving the thumbs up to do it again for all of you. Like them, I was surprised as to how well it took to pecan smoke - and it will likely become a neighborhood favorite possibly even supplanting smoked cream cheese as the appetizer of choice. Smoking Cheez-Its can be modified to your party's desires and personal preferences. Throughout this last dance, I will continue to use the following closing lines: 

Be blessed. 

Be safe. 

Be good to each other. 

Tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
