Smokin' !

Toad,

I picked off one crow so far this year.   He just happened to land in one of the black walnut trees in my back yard.      I slowly opened up the back door and put the cross hairs on him and squeezed off a 37 grain .22 into his midsection.           He fell and got hung up in the branches on his down.      Gotta love hollow points for crows.

Those are good smokers,  I was looking at one but still using my ol Weber Bullet.  Rude did get to buy one of the Beef Eater gas grills, that was a good purchase.

Don't seem to be as many about though. It's early yet.


i remember walking out of the house one night and wondering why all of the trees in the park looked like they were in full bloom with black leaves.

caw caw caw!!!

I like some of the things about it but there are some things I miss on my ECB too.  Turns out pretty good 'que though.

Just finished up the shoulder and brisket. I had never really cared before but this time I needed to know how much meat I had.

The shoulder was 6 lbs raw and yielded 3 lbs of pulled pork after tossing the fat and bone.

The brisket was 11 lbs raw and yielded 4 lbs of sliced brisket after tossing the fat. There was a bit of loss during the cutting. All small burnt ends went to the cooks. My wife and I give it an A+.  ;)

Toad,

Commercial rubs use iodized salt. The iodine additive is makeing your hands swell up. Make your own rub using sea salt or kosher salt. Have you tried brining your meat before smoking? Really helps to keep it moist and flaverful.

Yah, thought about the iodine Bustr. I have Sea Salt and a big box of Kosher salt too.

I just figured for this run I'd try to do without it. The Doc is down on NaCl, not just the iodine.

I used that Morton Lite Salt at about 1/2 the usual amount and topped up with Mrs. Dash. The pork and brisket are good but they probably could use a little more saltiness.

I will continue to experiment.  ;) I'm not satisfied yet.

Yeah, sounds like it!

We had so much left over that we vacuum bagged it and froze it.

I have been amazed at how well it reheats if you drop the bags in boiling water for a while.

I'll be cooking bigger loads and freezing from now on.

Enjoy your day.
