    Hopper fire

    Since my MAK has a pellet hopper dump door, my shutdown process is: while the smoker is running, dump all the pellets from the hopper then let the smoker continue to run until it finally flames out. Afterwards pull the plug. All pellets get used up, nothing remains in the auger. Startup...

    Pan Seared Pekin Duck With Black Currant Sauce & Roasted Baby Potato’s

    Holy smokes, that reduction was absolutely perfect Cortney 👍👍👍 After tasting I decided to not add any raw sugar and that turned out to be the right decision.

    The Black Currant sauce looks very inviting. How did you put it together? Funny thing, your post got me hankering for duck and I been spending way to much time trying to locate some but sheesh, price plus shipping is crazy.
