From the pork loin that keeps on giving ...
"You can't smoke everything." I'm sure I'll catch some flak on that one :D
Took a couple of the chops out of the freezer to defrost yesterday. They'll be going on the grill.
Coated them with Carolina Treet. Used the 'needler' to tenderize and drive in some of the goodness. Two passes each side at 90 degrees.

Into a bag with more CT to marinate for about 1:30 in the fridge.
Put 'em on the grill. Had leftover garlic mashed from yesterday. Cooked some fresh asparagus and made a little gravy.

Total hands-on prep time, about 5 minutes. Total cook time for everything, about 8 minutes. They were GOOD! ;D
Beautiful!
Where did you find the 1/2 gal CT jugs??
Thanks squirt. Yeah, the chops were good.

I'm really liking this stuff.. I've smeared it all over various smoked thingies, and the meatloaf last night.
All good.

Those look a heck of a lot more appetizing than what we had at deer camp. My friend brought some and sprinkled with some salt & pepper. We stuck em on some portable throw away grill thingy. Edible, but not good.
Squirt - Glad I could help ya out. I see many meatloaves in your future. As far as grinding the turkey goes, you could even start with a hand grinder. Then choose your mix of white to dark meat or all one or the other. They often have whole turkey breast on sale around here for 0.99. A lot of good white meat there. What's left goes into the stock pot.
Kevin - I've certainly done S&P and they're good. But marinate up some chops in CT and you can forget the grill - do 'em on a hot rock! :D
I feel so sad for my grill since I have bought my Bradley,Traeger,BE. I can't hardly stand to look at it when I walk by it.
I know it hates me,I feel these stare darts when I am doing something that doesn't include it. I need to crank her up and
make her happy.

Thanks Arnie. We see the same (.99/lb). I think I paid $3.40 for that 20 oz package of ground.
How do you like that Jaccard? Easy to clean?
Nice chops there Arnie.
I like my Jaccard too.
nepas

I think mine is "the original" or close to it. It's a 48 blade. I wouldn't bother with the smaller ones.
Here's a link for a description. http://www.amazon.com/Jaccard-Supertendermatic-Tenderizer-Knife-Stainless/dp/B001347JK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1258483544&sr=8-1

That's a good price. I saw one in our restaurant supply store the other day for the full 40 clams.
Somehow I thing "Supertendermatic" is a name only a marketing person could come up with ;)

Dang, I can get a gallon of it shipped for $2 (shipping costs) more than the shipping costs on a single glass bottle.. SCORE!
You inspired me to email CT for a quote on shipping costs (for the half-gallon containers) to Hawaii and the answer was "... the price of shipping one bottle will be $28.60. The price of shipping 2 bottles would be $48.35 and a case of 6 ... would be $89.35". Guess I'll do without for a while longer.

Ka Hona, if I could stuff a couple 16oz bottles in a 'flat rate' USPS box and get away with it, I'd send you some..
I'm going to order by the gallon from now on.
Does anyone know if those flat rate boxes apply for HI as well?

They list the flat rate boxes as "Anywhere in the United States"
I checked on the flat rate boxes. It looks like a large one would hold two 1/2 gallon bottles. The shipping is 13.95 to any U.S destination. They didn't mention "only the 48".
I think that my last order for two 1/2 gallon bottles came to $24 or a bit less, including shipping. That means I could order some and send it to KH for roughly $38.
Are you interested KH?
Thanks for the offer but I have some friends in Charleston threatening to come out here next month. Guess what they'll be carrying in their checked baggage (At least they will if they ever want to see a palm tree and beach again).
I did some big fat chops in the Treager today, a little diff from my usual. Had one night in the fridge with Dizzy Pig rub wrapped in plastic, next night in Ziplok poked with the Jacarrd with Carolina Treet Cooking Sauce. Cooked at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes, finished at 225 until an IT of 160. Basted with a mix of Carolina Treet BBQ sauce and cheap Maple Syrup every 20 minutes or so. Very tasty and moist!

Kind of fun experimenting with basting and glazing stuff with the pellet pooper, cause nothing burns!
Awesome. Beautiful color!
The Traeger don't burn is right. Kinda crazy!
Them look DAMN good Smokin. YOU do realize that you WILL BURN the next thing you cook in that pellet pooper. Because you said "Nothing Burns" nothing like jinxing yourself
Chris, you CAN'T burn something. You can dry it out, but burn, I don't think so.
Never Say Never. They said you couldn't burn water I just read a post where somebody burned water set off a smoke alarm. It can happen!!!
Wholly smoke those look good. Makes me want to jump on a plane and head over for dinner. BNut I think it would be all gone before I could get there.
