Sharing meals in the desert

We get together with our Christian Fellowship Group for Bible Study each day, and usually for a meal of some kind. On Saturday, Nancy had scheduled "Burn your own" for the evening meal, asking us to each cook our own meat, and bring it along with a side that we would eat together. 

Since we would need to have to grill going to "burn our own" (hamburgers), we decided to fire up the smoker and fix smoked cream cheese.

I was scoring the top of the cream cheese with a knife, and then sprinkled a rub seasoning over each block (we did two blocks with Sriracha & Onion, and two blocks with a garlic and brown sugar seasoning).

Carl smoked them for about two hours, and then we took the cheese off and used the smoker to cook our burgers as well as brats for a fellow attendee at the rally who did not have a grill.

No pictures of the completed cheese -- it is always funny when we bring this as people initially think that it is salmon. It seemed to be popular as there was none remaining at the end of the meal time!
