I'm feeling ya, Mike. Is there ice on the water up there and do you fish for walleye through the ice up there in the frozen tundra?

No comment duck, but you would be lucky if it were just a tea bag :)

Smoking Duck · December 12, 2008, 11:12:39 AM

Sorry, Deb. I'm not really as bad as I try to sound. But, when you're down as far as I am, you do anything you can to try and add anything to spice up your life a little ;D

You bet! I haven't been out yet but I understand there's enough ice on a number of lakes now. Hopefull I'll get out during the holidays. I doubt before... I'm trying to get a number of things smoked so I'm prepared for the "outlaws"! Between that and work... there's not enough time in the days! Oh well... It's all good! ;)

Let's see, lake + ice = makes it hard to get my fly down to any depth even with a weighted line. I don't don't know how ya'll up there fish through a little bitty ole hole in the ice! Bet it's fun though!

It's pretty fun, to tell the truth, especially if you've got a heated shanty. If you've seen Grumpy Old Men (which pretty much describes me and Mr. Walleye), that's how I'm used to doing it. If it's halfway decent outside, don't even need a shanty. One of the funner things you can do on ice with your clothes on :o ;D

Started smoking the pork loin. Will post pictures of it in meat section soon.

I used 6 pucks of apple for 2 hours of smoke. Being my first smoke, may I ask, do yall think that's to much or not enough. I do recall you don't want to do a constant smoke the whole time and figured 2 hours should be enough.

Smoking Duck · December 12, 2008, 02:20:57 PM

That's a good start, Stargazer. Get a feel for it and the next time you might decide you like a little stronger or less strong flavor. Or, you may decide that's perfect.

Stargazer · December 12, 2008, 02:38:17 PM

Thanks a million SD

BTW, I used your recommendation and water pan is filled with Motts apple juice. Also injected the loins with apple juice before rubbing down.

Ill post all this in meat section in a few

Thanks :)

No problem at all, SG. Looking forward to the pics! Can't go wrong with apple and pork, IMO.
