    Finally, my first smoke! attempted q-view

    All looks good to me.  I normally don't like ribs (of either kind, except from ONE restuarant), but I attempted baby backs a few weeks ago.  They are on the roll call coming up, perhaps tomorrow.  Your ribs look awesome and tasty!

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    It was actually very tender, however, I wish I hadn't slided it all.  I think it would have retained some moisture if I had slicedit as we ate it.  About the only thing it was good for was lathering it in sauce for "pulled pork" style - and poorly done with that.  Although the flavor was good...

    Pickles from my 2010 Garden

    I love canned foods - used to help my mom while growing up.  I thought it was a chore, but I sure appreciate the work she did now!  Those look great :)

    Out of Shadows

    Thanks Eman!  I'll definitely try that.  My favorite thing as a child was salt cured ham (still can't stand a sugar ham), but I never used salt, and all the brines I've seem were salt based - but then I'm new at brining, so lots more research to be done - thanks for the advice!

    Well, the old Bar-B-Chef is getting ready to get fired-up ( Q-view )

    That looks great - I haven't got to a bark like that, but that is my favorite part of what I used to have to BUY, but now get to TRY :) -   Happy Eating!

    Out of Shadows

    Thanks everyone.  I knew (from lurking) that everyone seemed to be so helpful and "well wishing".  I need to correct that I smoked two SHOULDER quarters, not hindquarters.  Hard to tell when you grab them from the freezer to thaw.

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    Haven't tasted yet - it's in the cooler resting (I did sample the venison I did with this and it was awesome).  It was a wild boar - they got 4 in one day. There's never a shortage .... these aren't ours, but some guys that hunted next to my mom's farm in southeast Okla.

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    Thanks for the welcome....and it happens to be my FIRST smoke ring - except for the venison I pulled off before this - (the brisket I did a few weeks ago, although tasted great, didn't have one). Corn on the cob, butternut squash, jalepenos, zucchini, chicken, and elk still yet to be pulled today.

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    I have to admit - I love wild boar, but I usually keep the pork chops and make them grind everything else up for sausage.  But with the smoker lingering in our future, I had a couple of hams saved in the freezer.  Put a mix rub of garlin, cayenne, black pepper and some "hog rub" <gasp> store...
