One more person - I'm from the Pacific Northwest now living in Arizona and I use alder and apple for almost everything. Fish, pork, beef - you name and I use alder and apple. When I smoke meats, I want to taste the meat, not just the smoke. I'm smoking some cured pork belly today. The final...
I love to smoke bacon. I smoke about 30 pounds at a time. But, I always smoke my bacon with the skin on and remove it before slicing. I have never figured out what to do with the smoked skin. I have added it to baked beans, made soup, but there is always to much. Than came an idea, how about...
Just remember most pork loins in the USA come in a pack marked "moist". That mean salt has been added. Be careful if you add brine, the pork can become to salty. This sounds like a great party.
Keep it simple and know the people you are selling to. What do they like to eat? Make items that are better the second day or freeze well. This is all common sense. And the last item, make food you like to eat, because that may happen with the left overs.

The best way to clean up all the drips that miss your "drip pan" is to spread the stuff you put under cars that leak oil. The label says it's safe for animals. You can also use non scented kitty litter.

If you like to cure and smoke bacon, LEE LEEs is the place to buy your pork belly. It's an Asian market, I go to the Chandler market, but I think there is one in Tucson. Welcome to Arizona.

I just took 2 - 12 lbs turkeys out of the freezer. I bought them last Thanksgiving. I plan on smoking them next week. I have never brined and smoked a turkey. Is there anything I should look out for? Brine or not brine, what type of wood, how hot, IT to about 175? What else?
I'll send pics when...
I just finished up another 40 pound batch of bacon. I always cure and smoke my bacon with the skin on and remove it when I slice and package the bacon. So now I have a bunch of smoked bacon skin. My question to you is - what do I do with the stuff? I have put it in soup and I have tried to make...
Here is a link from Bon Appetit on a short cut to dry age beef. I have not tried this, I have no idea if it works. If anyone gives it a try let me know
