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

[IKnowWood]

Good old Baby-backs last week and today was "Ain't your Momma's Meatloaf"  we love this meatloaf.

May hold off for a little, got work to do to go on last RV trip to Chesapeake Bay area (no bridge crossing).

Course there is the October driving in-laws RV to Myrtle Beach for parking for a while, but that is different.

Might do some onions soon for soup.  Missing it.

Only jerky this weekend.  First time I have tried it.  Hi-Mountain original & inferno.  Also, did a lb of turkey with the Hi-Mountain Apple turkey seasoning.

Deb,
Let us know how the turkey turned out and how you prepared it.  My wife has inquired about turkey jerky so I might have to jump in on that as well.

Giz -- I'll write it up later tonight.  I tried for a cran-apple version which didn't work out quite like I hoped but it's something I'm going to work on.

Thanks Deb.

I _was_ going to smoke a couple of pork butts. BUTT I forgot to take them out of the freezer...  >:(

However, I am going on  the drift boat fishing trip with our Scout troop / Venture crew... So if we catch anything, it's going in the smoker!

I am going to try the fresh sausage thing again... hopefully less sinew this time.

FLBentRider;

You should try the Spicy Roasted Pobalno. It's great stuff.

[FLBentRider]

That recipie looks good; It is definitely on my radar. I don't have the peppers in stock. I'll see if I can get some tonight.

How fine do you chop the poblanos ?

[Habanero Smoker]

I like to do a small dice about 1/8" - 1/4". Because of the irregular shape of the poblanos, I usually have to finish off the roasting with a handheld blow torch. I've never tried fully roasting with the blow torch. You don't have to stuff it; it form well into patties, and if a meatball recipe or sauce calls for Italian sausages, I often use the poblano sausage instead.

[FLBentRider]

I've got the pablanos. Roasted them up this morning. I've never used that type of pepper. Kinda green bell pepper tasting. Not a favorite of mine. I was hoping they would be more like jalepenos. I'm going to split the batch and put them in 1/2 - The Mrs. likes them.

[FLBentRider]

Sausage made. Good stuff. I used a loin instead of a butt - less sinew to deal with. Grinding was much better - what I expected - I fed the grinder and ground meat came out the end, not like the last time where it seemed like I had to mash on the pusher and this goey mess that did not break off on its own oozed out the end.

Tastes great - I like the batch without the pablanos... but the other batch is good too, not as strong as I thought it would be.

[FLBentRider]

I put some of KyNola's "Jans" rub on a pork loin and gave it 3 hours of Oak @200F - I just put it in FTC with an IT of 143.

My first smoke under Tropical Storm conditions and a Tornado watch!

[Smokin Soon]

My first Buckboard Bacon. Great stuff, very easy!
