Got some chucks at Winn Dixie bogo...
Got four as I wanted to try the TSM smoked pepperoni mix that I got as a gift..
Yesterday I SPOGed two of them for the pull and two (5 lbs) got ground thru the fine plate and mixed with the TSM mix.
Had some thighs that were needing attention so I SPOGed them too..This morning early ..6:30..I fired off the wsm with yard pecan and cranked the MES to 100.
Kinda cool here in the panhandle this morning..
While things was heating up I stuffed the pepperoni in 35 hogs and then ran out so put the rest in some sheeps..
Hung the peps in the MES to dry and the chucks went in the wsm at 225...
Around noon I put the pellet tube in and started the slow climb to 160..
When the chucks hit 165 at 2:30 I panned them with beef broth with some wosty mxed in..
Put the thighs in the wsm at this time..out at 165...tasty...
Chucks came out and into the cooler at 200..
Peps came out at 155 and into a cool bath..then hung in the kitchen for a while...
The chucks pulled nicely with a small amount of tug...very tasty..
Made a sammy with my fav peach and vidalia onion sauce..way tasty...
The pepperoni turned out great..I wasnt sure how it was gonna go..I did add some garlic and ground fennel..
It should be very tasty after some rest.....
All in all a great day for making some smoked chow...
