Display your hunting pictures
Not by myself, but here's a nice catch a couple spearfishermen brought in off Diamond Head beach (way beyond and out of the restricted DH Lighthouse-to-Natatorium zone) this past Easter Sunday... Menpachi (the smaller red fish), Red Uhu, Kala (the big one with the speared tail hidden behind) &... -
Hawaii's Kiawe Wood
Kiawe is the name used in Hawaii for what is known as Mesquite or Algarobba on the mainland, and is the choice for smoking meats and roasting Kalua Pig in the islands, mainly because it grows wild (it's classified as an invasive species) and abundant. Kiawe is often found growing along our...- pomai

Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
Good question. I forgot to ask the owner how they made theirs, so when I made them at home, I parboiled the Jalapenos to soften them but left them going too long and it took away some of the flavor. Next time I'll try roasting until slightly soft, and then stuffing 'em, wrap 'n deep fry. I...- pomai

Meat Smoking in the Media
Here's a thread to tell us about recent or past television, print or web news/media coverage related to meat smoking in your locale. In yesterday's Honolulu Advertiser, they did a story on "The Pig Man" from Mountain View, Hawaii (the Big Island!)... When it comes to smoked meat, 'No can beat...- pomai

Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Tonto, I only used that product as a marinade because it was convenient and CHEAP! (only $1.97/half-gallon on clearance at Costco). Its main flavor components are the soy sauce and sugar, which you can buy anywhere. The mango and pineapple flavors (which I didn't check whether they were articial... -
Smoke-Flavored Dips
Anyone make or try some good smoke-flavored dips or spreads? Our local Costco has been carrying this Haleiwa Smoked Seafood Medley for some time now... As you can see on the label, this is Hale’iwa Smokehouse Seafood Medley. It’s made with Smoked Ahi (Tuna), Au (Marlin), Shutome (Swordfish)...- pomai

Dan Doodle
Looks like so far everyone's stumped on this one. Kinda' weird that here I am way out in the middle of the Pacific hearing about this before any of y'all out there on the east coast. Heck, you never know, maybe we might take the recipe and start selling Dan Doodle sausages right in Hawaii... -
I never knew
Me too. It was a nice surprise stumbling upon this new meat smoking site. I'm just wondering when everyone on this board will eventually exhaust all their recipes, ideas and experiences in the food-smoking world. The possibilities so far look endless! I've been smoking pork for only about 5... -
Dan Doodle
A family friend visiting from the east coast introduced us to this most unusual sausage we've never heard of in our life. It's affectionately named Dan Doodle, a.k.a. Tom Thumb. Here's the complete dish he prepared for us just the other night... The Dan Doodle slices are (obviously) those... -
Aloha from Hawaii
Howzit braddah Curt! Good to see another local boy in this neck-o-the-woods. I bet being a big islander, you must have done your share of smoking wild pig! Most Oahu grocery stores have a form of BGE lump coal under the name MAUI KIAWE CHARCOAL, packaged like this... $5.99 is a sale... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 7... My favorite accompaniment with Big Island style Smoked Pork is POI! The salty rich flavor and heat of the meat, followed by a chaser of the smooth texture, cool temperature and mild flavor of the poi is as perfect as it gets. But you can just as well serve them as a... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 6... These are actually not fully cooked yet. Similar to bacon, you need to pan fry it before you serve it. In the case of Big Island Smoked Pork, the best way to to it is to fry them until the edges are "papa'a", or slightly burnt at the edges. That's the best! Slice... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 5... Keep it covered and maintain a lighter smoke towards the last 2 hours of the smoking time. When it's done, they'll look like this!... All pau (finished)! Notice how the pieces closer to the fire formed a darker crust, but that's O.K., as these pieces are thicker... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 4... What do you do now? Go grab a cold beverage and let's talk a little about smoking woods! In Hawaii, three types of smoking woods are typically mentioned: Kiawe (same family as Mesquite, and the most popular), Guava (yes from the fruit tree's namesake) and Lychee... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 3... Now you'll start the briquettes using the lighter fluid. Once they're ashed over, place the cooking grate on the grill, and begin layout out the marinaded pork on the grate like this... Notice how the aluminum heat shield below the opening of the grate comes right to... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from part 2... Place the cut up and salted pork butt into a pan deep enough to marinade them in (or you can put them in Ziploc bags if you prefer)... The shoyu/sugar/ginger/garlic/chili pepper marinade begins to impart their ono flavor! Take the cooled marinade out of the... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Continued from Part 1... I found this bottle of Mango Pineapple Teriyaki Glaze on clearance at Costco for a song ($1.97/half-gallon)! So I substituted the marinade foundation using this. So easy! Prepare the pork butt... 5 lbs. of boneless Pork Butt well marbelized with fat (for flavor... -
Big Island Smoked Pork - Part 1
Big Island Smoked Pork, served with a bowl of Poi... Broke Da' Mout'! Big Island Smoked Pork, also casually called "smoked meat" is a family tradition that goes back to generations of wild pig hunters and Paniolo ranchers on the island of Hawaii. It's probably done a similar way on most other...
