What's Smoking - Weekend of 3/28/09?

Caneyscud · March 27, 2009, 08:41:11 AM

Ok guys and gals - what are your smoking plans for the weekend? Besides trying to finish smoking my tax return and researching which meat grinder and sausage stuffer to buy, I will probably smoke....a.....get this....drum roll please.......TRI TIP. Yep, my long search has ended with a nice looking tri tip thanks to Trader Joe's. There might just be something good to say about Callyforny and a Callyforny company afterall. But first Pesto and fried morels tonight. I......drool....can't...drool....wait!

Sounds great Caney!

I have 6 full racks of back ribs to do on Saturday... and I have to find time to squeeze in about 10lbs of Habs Pastrami sometime as well.

Then of course there will be refreshments during all this work as well... ;)

Thanks Mike for reminding me about ribs - also some beef short ribs will be included. I've got to find a way to get them tender and done and succulent within 4 hours on the smoker. Gotta start experimenting. But on second thought, maybe I ought to visit the canuck country. Six racks and 10 lbs of Pastrami - I think you have enough for me if I just drop by!

Bradley coming up to temp as we speak. The venison Bacon Experiment is going in along with some pork belly bacon will post more in that thread.

I'm going to smoke some quail. I'll be using Westexasmokers recipe.
It's all still new to me but I can't wait to give it a try.
I have a dozen home grow birds to try it out no.

I went to town looking for pork butt and brisket. Only found the butt so I'll be doing it this weekend while I make some of habs pickled eggs.

Going to smoke two whole chickens, not sure what recipe yet. Suggestions welcome.

Tomorrow we are going to try to make some Scotch eggs and put a ham in the smoker. We also have three ham steaks to smoke using a recipe from WTS.
On Sunday we will put some spare ribs on to smoke for Sunday's dinner.

I'm remodeling our bathroom and I forgot about the chuck roast in the smoker. When I finally checked on it and the IT was 210 degrees....ughhh. It was a dried out brick.

It is now chopped/torn up and rehydrated with Iceman's sauce. It's not too bad but I would eat a tire with that sauce on it!

Smoker is on & heating up. Couple of brined chickens now rubbed with Jan's rub & some thyme waiting to go in.

30# of pig butt, to be hit with Ice's sauce.

Whaa........ Is your knickname Cool Hand Luke???????

Not that I couldn't - my mouth is big enough - it fits my big head. But while I was in finishing school, for better decorum, it was suggested I not stuff my mouth with things that could spew out when talking!!
