Hi. My name's Chris, and I finally decided to pick up a Weber Smokey Mountain after a few years of smoking bacon and fish in a large cardboard box.
I live in Australia, where smoking is not terribly popular (at least in the Anglo-Saxon community). Probably because of a shortage of easily available hardwoods. But in Melbourne, where I live, there's a lot of smoking done in the Italian and eastern European communities.
I've been doing a bit of charcuterie for a while now, with some somewhat illicit pink salt (which isn't legal here, as far as I can tell, so I get it from a continental butcher friend). But I'm particularly interested in smoking dog treats, which are ridiculously over-priced...I get offended when I see a bag of raw pig ears selling for a buck, and smoked ears selling for a few dollars each.
Anybody making dog treats? Any recipes?
Chris
