    1st grill of spring. Venison brats!

    Money shot. Sorry, couldn't wait to take pic before eating a bite. Green beans were flavored with homemade bacon ends. Stove top stufiing. Fuller than a dog tick. Need a nap.

    1st grill of spring. Venison brats!

    Venison brats on Mom's Weber kettle. Always eat Sunday dinner with Mom and this is what she decided to cook today. Made these in 10# batch with 70/30 venison and pork fat. A.C. Leggs brat seasoning and high temp cheddar cheese. Cook to IT 165-170. This was from my son's deer kill last november...

    1st time cold smoking bacom with ampts

    Outside temp was 40ish. No heat from the element just used the pellet tube to smoke. Always fry to cook when I make breakfast.

    1st time cold smoking bacom with ampts

    Well the bacon turned out smelling really Smokey after overnight mellowing in the fridge. Has just a slight hint of smoke when fried up. Wife loves it and that says a lot!

    Worth every penny for a cold smoker.

    1st time cold smoking bacom with ampts

    Should say won't know until tomorrow as it's in fridge for 24hrs to mellow right now. I will say that everything I've smoked so far in the big chief has been really good even though I don't get the bark and I have to actually cook in the oven to cook. This is the 1st time using the ampts tube...

    1st time cold smoking bacom with ampts

    Won't know on this batch as it's the first with the tube. The other batches I've done on the big chief cold smoked for 2 hrs gives a slight hint of smoke.

    1st time cold smoking bacom with ampts

    Like the title says just bought a 6" amnts tube and smoked my 1st bacon in it for 2hrs in the big chief without heat from the burner. Did forget to form pellicle overnight but smoked it anyway as due to rain the last few days wasn't able to smoke until after 13 days dry cure. Love the pellet...

    1st time gooda

    Ok. I'll loose wrap in parchment when I put it in. The cheese didn't melt on the end of the wedge but the marks from the rack are deeper than I've had b4. Only 3rd time smoking cheese and 1st with gooda. Just making sure it's going to be ok to eat. Don't want to be fertilizing daisies any...

    1st time gooda

    What about a loose wrap in parchment paper b4 putting in fridge overnight? Would that let it breathe or would it be better to leave uncovered in fridge tonight?

    1st time gooda

    Don't have a temp probe on or in. Like I said the top was just barely warm. Could lay hand on it no problem. I'll dry it off b4 putting in fridge uncovered overnight. Then I'll vac pack and let mellow for awhile b4 eating. Time will tell.... Thanks!

    1st time gooda

    Hey all. Smoked some gooda tonight on the big chief with the door cracked open and with applewood pellets. Left it in for 2hrs and pulled it. Looks goods and smells great but came out a little soft and really oily. Too long in the smoke? Outside temp is 44* and smoker just barely felt warm...
