I got the goose at Safeway. They were marked down from $6.99 to $1.99 a pound. I butcher said they just were not selling. I'm going to smoke it like I've done ducks. It will be a couple of weeks, but I'll send pics when I'm done.
Has anyone ever smoked a goose? I bought one yesterday on special. Almost giving them away. I have never cooked or smoked a goose. Any ideas, I know the will be a lot of fat.
My first big smoker was an old frig, the only difference was, I used an electric hot pad for my heat source. It worked great and lasted years. After a couple of smokings, the inside of the frig was covered with a nice coating. Be sure not to remove this.
Beef doesn't need a brine, but a good rub goes a long way in making a great beef rib. Long slow cooking is also needed for a good beef rib. Just don't dry them out. Pop's brine for pork works well.
Be sure look in the pork section of the meat counter, not the prepackaged area. Lee Lee also has pork belly with rib meat, you don't want that for bacon. It has a rib bone in it.
Good luck with your bacon. I use Morton tender quick for the curing process. You can buy it at AJ's or online...
I buy my bacon at 2 place in the Phoenix area. Most of the time I buy it at Lee Lee's at Warner and Dobson. I bought 20 pounds last week, it was some of the nicest pork belly I have ever found. It was about 2 inches thick and mostly meat, very little fat. The other place is an Asian markets at...
I am also looking for a new meat slicer. I cure and smoke my own bacon, about 20 pounds at a time. During the last five pounds, my slicer just stops. I think the motor gets to hot. Other large amounts of meat cause the same problem.
I'll keep watch for other replies.
Thanks for this posting.
I forgot to tell you -
I'm only using the flat part of the brisket for a test run tomorrow. It's about 5 pounds, do you still think 8 hours in the smoker is to little? I've done 5 pound flats before and 8 hours worked great. A very moist and tender brisket. BUT, it tasted like a good brisket...
Has anyone used South Carolina honey mustard BBQ sauce on a beef brisket? I'm looking for a way to kick up a beef brisket. We are having a brisket cook off, and I need a way to be a little different. About 30 "eaters" will be the judge. The formal brisket format doesn't need to be followed, if...
I de bone my pork butts. It takes about 10 minutes, but the finished product looks good and can be tied very easy. I smoke the bones and use them for soup. Unless you need 10 + butts, doing the de boning is the only way to go.
I agree with Dave. There is almost no fat in the eye of the round. You can use eye of the round if you buy some pork or beef fat and add it to the sausage. I think you need about 25 to 30 percent fat for good sausage.
I lived in the pacific northwest for 50 years and smoking salmon is high on the list of things to do. My very first smoker was a little chief. I have moved on since then but they have on of the best brines for smoking salmon. Before smoking your salmon be sure to wash the brine off and let it...
