Death Row

[Smoking Duck]

With times being extremely tight for my family, when we go to the grocery store, I routinely head for what I call Death Row, which is my term for the meats that are about to hit their sell by date and are routinely marked down 60% or more.  Today, the little missus and I made a trip to the grocery store and I found some pork tenderloin for $1.29/pound.  Quickly snatched it up and went home like the little pig that went wee-wee-wee all the way home.

Got home and thanks to an inspiration from beefmann, put together a garlic paste which consisted of garlic, cut up in the food processor.  Added olive oil to it until I got the consistency I was looking for, about 2 teaspoons of sea salt, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, a smidgen of peppercorns and some sweet paprika for some coloring.  It's in the smoker with 1:20 of maple (cause the Missus wanted a little less smoke this time) and some ginger ale in the water pan.  Have been spritzing it about every 45 mins with ginger ale.

Here's the tenderloin before the smoke and I'll post the rest later.

Now i will give you  some insite on the garlic... remember how much you  used on the pork and how the garlic taste was ... if it was two strong then  use about half,,, if it was not strong enough ,,, then add more in the beginning... other then that  enjoy

I didn't that was possible either.

I must admit I LOVE "Death Row" myself always some good finds in there.

Death row...thats funny, I always called it the used meat section,  but you can score some really good cuts at a very affordable price!  Good score SD and looking good also!

Thanks Mike.  Just got my internet connection again.  Things are bleak, but smoking and talking about smoking always makes me feel better and takes my mind off of things.

Nope, it is not possible.  You can only underutilize garlic, which I consider to be the tonic of all smoked foods.



I call it Death Row because it's the only place my wife will allow me to shop for meats anymore.  But, I'll gladly walk that walk while we have to.  I also picked up some Angus Chuck Roast for $2.19/pound and will soon be putting together a garlic paste and some spices and smoking that tomorrow.  It will be the first time I'm gonna smoke a beef roast but hopefully, it'll turn out good.  I also saw a recipe on here somewhere with some potatoes that Habs did that I'm gonna have to find and give them a try.

It's good to be back and hopefully, I can stay on longer than I have lately.

Sweet Fancy Moses, WTS!  Now that's what I'm talking about.  The breath would be a killer for a week, but it would be great for the cholesterol.  That sure looks awesome.  Just got done with my roast.  Made the garlic paste and then added onion to it.  Then topped it off with brown sugar, sea salt, freshly ground pepper.  Like I said, never done a roast before but now is the time to try.

Hey Deb.....as always, you are spot-on.  They look awesome and easy to make.  I was born in New York (born in Brooklyn and moved shortly thereafter to Utica until I was about 7) but had never heard of these.  Shamefully, I tell the wife that these things just come to me in my sleep  ;)  But, she's 10 years younger than I and with me without a job, I gotta give her a reason to believe I'm salvageable  ;D

It's good to be back.  This is my second home.

SD;

You can always tell her you are stocking up for the winter.

Wow! Smoked tenderloin and Syracuse Salted Potatoes; your wife will never give you up. :)

I also like the term "Death Row".

[Smoking Duck]

Habs,

Thanks for the Syracuse Salted Potatoes.  They are going to be made today.

Things are going well for me today.  My buddy who slaughtered the pigs just called me and told me he's on his way delivering a cooler filled with lots of pig!  I think I may have died and gone to heaven.  Someone kick me to make sure I'm still here  ;)
