Bought a 14 pound frozen Belly. Thawed, skinned and coated it with Morton's TQ & some brown sugar. Vacuum sealed them and into the fridge they went...
16 days later rinsed them off under cold water and dried them with paper towels. Set them in front of a fan for a few hours prior to putting them in the MES.
Sliced some off for a taste test
Tasted good to me...
Filled the AMNPS with Maple pellets. Lit it and put it in the lower left corner of the MES.
Didn't monitor the smokers temperature but with only the heat from the pellets burning doubt it got very much over our ambient temperature, 48*, of today.
After 7 hours of smoke
Wrapped 2 of the 6 pieces, the other 4 will be going back in tomorrow, 2 of them will get another 7 hours of smoke for a total of 14 hours. The other 2 will be going back in on Thursday for another 7 hours...
