I am almost close to completing my "bucket list" of smoked food and was curious what others had on their list and what they might have checked off their list. I figured I'll start it out:
Scratched Off the List:
Outstanding Items Still to Smoke:
Anything not listed that I have smoked are fairly standard smoked items (ribs, pork butt, chicken, etc.)
Let me know if I'm missing any items you feel I should add to my list and let me know what your list(s) are like. Thanks!!! :D
Scratched Off the List:
- Brisket - I am producing some damn good brisket and have my own go to process now
- Prime Rib - did it but want to come back to it because I know I can improve it
- Whole Turkey - knocked this out, but still want to do a cure brined one
- State Fair Turkey Drums - man this is one of my faves!
- Turkey Sandwich Meat - did this and can't wait for the next iteration to improve/perfect it
- Ground Venison Sandwich Meat - did a pastrami version of this and wow! Almost perfected
- Bacon - I love my bacon and I love doing it to an IT of 145F so I can eat it unfried :eek:
- Sausage - my all pork franks have been kicking tail!
- Salmon Lox - this was my cold smoke holy grail and a big one for me, I am hooked
- Chicken Galantine - this is an oddball one that I dreamed up and I love it
- Cured Ham from Scratch - I didn't know if this one would ever happen but I scored two small back legs of a feral hog and made the ham for this past Thanksgiving :)
- Venison Shanks - this was a failure and I need to revisit but I did it lol
- Peppers/Chile Powder - smoked a lot of ChileTepin peppers to make a great chile powder
Outstanding Items Still to Smoke:
- Standing Rib Roast - I want to do a Flinstone style one of these hahaha
- Beef Ribs - these are on the list and I may tackle them after the new year
- Jerky - just haven't gotten to it yet but maybe soon
- Cure Brined Whole Turkey - have done whole turkeys but not a cured one yet
- Armadillo Eggs - sausage wrapped cream cheese stuffed jalapenos
Anything not listed that I have smoked are fairly standard smoked items (ribs, pork butt, chicken, etc.)
