Ok Who Is A-Smokin' What This Weekend - The Cat Is Back.

[Gizmo]

Didn't notice where they were from.  I doubt they were from Harris though.

Caney and FLBR,

Forget grocery stores, Costco and the like.

Do you not have a local meat packer near you?

Most city's have a few if you go lookin' and they will always be able to fix you up.  Usually at a price that meets or easily beats any retail store.

I'll try the Packers - we supposedly have two around.  I've tried the wholesalers and the restaurant supply stores, but no go.  I've even tried the grocery stores that use different languages.  They all say, they come in every now and then, with no set pattern.  The ONE meat market we have did offer to order me a case. - would've cost me over $400.  All I want to do is try one, not feed the city!  Now, I can find all the chitlins and neckbones one would ever want.  Used to be able to find chicken necks and backs but haven't seen them in a while.

The Mrs. drives a Sprinter, we could probably get at least 4 chest freezers in there with the seats out!

Should be able to get a whole hog for around $190. Depends on the market, the basic butcher is about $85-$90.

Giz, did you get the Harris Ranch ones? They are pricey but tasty!

Going to Lost Angeleez in a couple of weeks.  Usually stop at Harris Ranch for chow.  Yum, for sure.  I think I'll stop on the way back and see if they can hit me up with some good smokin' possibilities.

Giz - still seems pretty steep for tri-tip.  To me.  'Course, Mrs. Smoka does most of the shopping.  Let's me do some of the cooking.  All of the smoking.  I may be a little out of the loop where tri-tip prices are concerned.

Speaking of pork bellies.  Butcher at the local organic market said he'll get me some.  I have to buy 2 complete sides for me to order them.  I think he said 14 lbs each.  Bacon for life, I figure.  Maybe I'll try Canadian or Buckboard first.

Did a couple chickens today.  Rubbed with Jan's rub.  1 hour 40 minutes cherry,  finished in the oven.



Last night tried to do two butts but smoke generator was not working,  pulled and threw in oven overnight.  Was good but not as good as it could have been. 

Neighbors watched over the house last weekend when we went away.  Sent a little thank you over tonight :



Also smoked a little pork tenderloin but that will be another days post ;D
