Well, I hope this qualifies as a side, cause I could use a good thermometer!

Wanted a simple smoked snack for the Holiday meal, so I went for the Chex party mix.

9 cups mixed Chex cereals (Corn, rice, wheat)
2-3 cups dry roasted peanuts
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1/2tsp cayenne
1tbs season salt
1 cube butter
2tbs Worcestershire sauce

Melt butter, combine with other ingredients, mix well and then into the smoker for 1 hour at 250, stirring every 15mins to expose to smoke and keep it all even.

Excellent with a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale!

Happy New Years everybody!

I was torn between submitting the garlic buttered ,roasted red potatoes, or the smoked greek salad over portabellas. I'm going with the salad.

1 Red pepper
1 Green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 yellow squash
1 zuchini squash
5 Roma tomatoes
1/2 jar pepperoncini
1 cucumber
1 red onion
Portabella mushroom caps
Fresh parmesean cheese
1/4 cup Light olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Cut veggies into chunks. Add olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and get to smokin'. I smoked them for about an hour and a half just to heat them and get the smoky flavor. The mushroom caps went directly on smoke rack for about an hour. Serve veggies over the shrooms with fresh grated parmesean cheese and enjoy!
