Who's smoking meat this weekend?

[humann_brewing]

I tryed chefmike simple pepperoni.. it is delicious.

But pepperoni it is not.

yeah I figured so, I figured it is close to what my mom makes which is good enough for crackers although I want to try it on a pizza.

Agreed. I made it, but just in the oven. It was good, but not pepperoni.

2 pork shoulders getting smoked tomorrow AM. Pulled pork for dinner.

Brewing a Belgian Wit simultaneously. Woohoo.

There must be something in the air for pork and belgian's. I'm going to lay a piece of sheet metal in the fire box on my smoker for now so I can do an 8.5lb pork loin tomorrow, and I'm doing a delirium clone.

I'll probably toss a couple chicks on too, they had them on sale for .49/lb so I have several in the freezer. It's supposed to be near 70 also, so a great day all around, I hope.

It's warm all over the country right now. Weird. I think the cold is coming again for the north, tho.

I love the boil when there is zested orange in there. Man, that smells good. Bit of hallertau, wheat/barley malt frothing, and orange zest. Mmm mmm. And chili powder rub steaming off the pork. Man I can't wait.

Yep, it's supposed to cool off a bit here after tomorrow. About 6 more years and I'll be heading a little south of you though. Counting the days.

No zested orange for me. Some coriander, ginger & paradise though. Should be some nice aroma's coming off there.

The loin is marinating in a mixture of chili powder, red pepper, candied jalapeno, brown sugar, vinegar, caramelized onion, apple juice, worcesteshire, garlic and tomatoe. The marinade will get used for the mop and sauce also. I'm starting to salivate just typing it out.

I have a rub of some similar ingredients. Tomorrow, around 6am, the orgy begins. A cataclysm of pork and hickory and barley and zested orange and me. Good luck to you.

Just got done with 2 8lb brisket flats...

 

[Desert_Sky]

This was last weekend, I did a 17lb packer and a couple racks of ribs. But of course the ABTs stole the show

 

[passedpawn]

2 shoulders smoked on Sunday. Mmmm. Shredded and sauced, with cole slaw.

i really gotta stop clicking on this thread. you guys are the devil!

 

[Yooper]

I'm getting my first home smoked Texas brisket tonight!

We've been here about 4 weeks now, and became friends with the neighbors. He's got a brisket on the smoker right now, and we're dining at about 6:30. I'm going to make dessert, and plan on pigging out on his brisket.

You guys are such a bad influence on me and my "healthy lifestyle"! Because of you, I drink about four times as much beer as anybody I know, I am eating smoked meat, and fried foods, and not working out as much as I should.

Did I ever tell you how much I love you guys!!!!! :rockin:

 

[IrregularPulse]

Hoping to put a pork line on tomorrow if it's not raining.

I never really liked coke but I think I could get into doing a few lines of pork though.

 

[AnonyBrew]

The meetings are a good time and membership gets you in the big events like spring & oktoberfest.

 

[AnonyBrew]

Ok, smoker has been ignited as of 0500 MST. 8 lb. brisket is going on within the next hour. Unfortunately I'm out of pecan wood.

 

[AnonyBrew]

The brisket is on the smoker!

I LOVE smoking meat! A buddy of mine and myself built a smoker last fall that has its own trailer....its a beast! It was a project that he wanted to start and I had the tools. Never had a plan we just built and did what we wanted.

The maiden voyage was for a Halloween party that his cousin was having. We started it up the night before and ran it for 24 straight hours. We had 40 lbs of Boston butt and 5 racks of ribs. We also put on a vegetable tray that was on for about 3 hrs (which was awesome) we also smoked some cabbage, which is great.

Got some baby backs going. This is at 2 hours, just sprayed them with an apple cider/apple cider vinegar/brown sugar mixture and flipped them for the first time. Don't know what I'm doing. Ends in the middle toward the fire box were getting too done so I added a piece of foil an hour ago.

Its my daughter's 7th bday party this Saturday. So of course the adults will want something besides hamburgers and hotdogs. So, gonna do a pork shoulder, a few St. Louis style spares, and of course ABTs. I may even throw in some habenero ABTs to mix it up some

 

[dataz722]

Habenero ABTs? Are you nuts? I like hot but there is no way I could handle that.

that actually doesn't sound too bad. I'm giving "pig candy" a try this weekend.

 

[Desert_Sky]

We made some last weekend. Yes they're hotter than jalepeno ABTs, but the smoke knocks the heat down quite a bit. Im only going to do 4 or 5 habeneros to go with 20 or so jalepeno ones.

ill post some pics of them when I get home

have you guys done Moink Balls yet? I'm trying to get my "offering" for the "Smoke 'em If Youz Gott'em" event that is part of Philly Beer week. Yards Brewing company does an amateur bbq contest. While I took the "People's Choice" last year, I'd rather come home with some cash. Last years entry was pulled pork (4 butts), cornbread, and salt potatoes. No one knew what salt potatoes were, but they sure did love them. Not sure if I got people choice because of the 'que or because of the potatoes though.

In any event, I used Stone Smoked porter in my mop sauce for the butts. I was looking for something different for this year. They don't pick up any of the cost. And not only is it a contest, but I am also helping feed all the participants coming for the smoked beers as well. You'd think you'd at least get your meat paid for. In any event, it'll be either pulled pork again, or perhaps brisket. Not 100% certain yet. But I figured throwing in either Moink Balls (a little more crowd friendly) or a crap ton of ABT's would help. Not sure I feel like de-seeding 100+ ABT's though! Or perhaps if the pig candy comes out ok, I could always do that. We'll see.
