Putting the A-Maze-N maze to use on the pork belly I've had curing for a bit. Also, some cheese. Including part of the 25+ pounds (yes!) of Butterkäse and two pretty mozz balls that my daughter gave me (I highly recommend raising offspring to become cheesemongers).
We are four hours in... I...
That looks amazing. I have a (half) brisket in the freezer awaiting a curing & smoking session so I can join the pastrami club soon, too! Awesome inspiration here. :)
Smart folks on here will sure give you the 411, so I'm just saying hi & welcome. You've come to the right place. But expect to find yourself with a huuuuuuge new addiction! Have fun. :)
Ok... esplain, please... I could seriously get tipsy and *crawl* to the Home Depot by my house. Which is the source of many budget woes, let me tell ya. But I have to admit I have no reference for mail box = smoker... Do tell!!
I was a horrible person and let us snarf all the yummies before I could take pictures from the first time we used the rub @bvbull200 sent me (it was just too darn good to worry over pics!) But here are two - the best I could do, still snarfing, don't judge - from last night.

I'm gonna be a busy BBQ Bee Girl this weekend! :)
I have pork belly curing that's almost done, and cheeses on the brain. I'm going to be poking around looking for even more things to do, of course, though.

I've been doing a bit of puttering this past week. Made a few purchases to add to my collection of goodies for my newfound meat habit (Foodsaver, meat grinder, casings, etc.) and got a few things "brewing" as well.
But first... I finally got to try the spicy rub from Pitfaced BBQ @bvbull200...
Since I used aji amarillo paste as a marinade, I was scolded for saying these could be called "smoked," so I *grilled* some chicken thighs at @250° for about an hour and a half with charcoal + apple wood chips.
Fortunately, the (imaginary) smoke taste was satisfying enough for me and my...
Thanks everybody... I'll update you later. I'm going to be tied up for the next few days preparing for my son-in-law's memorial service, and that's pretty much put this whole thing in perspective, as you might imagine. See you on the other side. ;)
