    Bradley pucks for cold smoking

    Howdy, lazy smokers! I’ve got a bunch of leftover Bradley pucks from my last smoker, so I’ve been playing with them. I just cold smoked some bacon. I used one puck on double foil and smoked for three hours at 90, with the cold smoking plated in place. After an overnight rest, I did that one...

    Turkey thighs

    Howdy, kids! Just wanted to pop in and let you know I’m still alive and kicking. I haven’t been smoking much over the winter and I’m pretty hyper focused on a family medical issue that will be holding my attention for the next few years. C’est la vie. I decided to smoke a pair of turkey thighs...

    Grouse and Pheasant ideas.

    I like to turn pheasant into pheasant pot pie. Grouse I tend to breast out, season, flour, pan fry in butter and top with a pan sauce.

    Went down the SMF rabbit hole.

    Yep. Coulotte steaks. Cut that bad boy across the grain into 1-1 1/2” steaks and sear over high heat. One of my favorite cuts.

    Went down the SMF rabbit hole.

    If I’m not mistaken, isn’t that the roast that Coulotte steaks come from? If so, you’re going to enjoy that one.

    Umai Bresaola, three kinds!!

    Nice. I have a pancetta ageing right now but I think another bresaola is due after that.
