Thanks Dan - I've been hitting up the CostCo in Wharton or East Hanover. I now have access to the Restaurant Depot in Pine Brook and looking forward to doing a full packer - IF it fits on my WSM 18! Haven't done beef ribs yet... Lots of pork though!
Looks great! I'll be smoking mine this weekend. Also did the maple pepper last time out and it was really good. Be careful - curing your own bacon gets _really_ addicting, and EVERYONE wants some!
Thanks Scott-
This is brisket number 5 for me. Learning a bit more every time I light the smoker. Thankfully, I can experiment a bit when it's just the two of us for dinner. She's very understanding and enjoys the "mistakes" or miscalculations that I encounter even if it means we eat at 8pm!
It was slightly chilly and very windy here in Northern NJ on New Year's Day. I was planning to smoke about 10 pounds of pork belly, but the cure wasn't completely done, so I opted for a small brisket flat. After trimming, it was about 5 pounds. I used the low-salt "Jeff's Rub", and popped it on...
TRUE! I've gone to all the local supermarkets in my area of Northern NJ. Acme, Wegmans, Shop-Rite, Kings... The supermarkets near where I work - Acme and Wegmans. The Wegmans near my home has the Morton's "tender quick", but their website says it shouldn't be used for curing belly. Strange that...
Just make them! This was only the 4th time I've EVER used a smoker. About 4.5 hours on my WSM. 3 hours directly on the grates, and 90 mins in a covered foil pan braising with some BBQ sauce, honey, and a few pats of butter. Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.
Bought 10lbs of pork belly to try and make bacon, but couldn't find any "pink stuff" here in my area for the cure. So, what to do? Found a recipe for pork belly burnt ends!
Two batches (about 8 pounds) No photos - but absolutely a smash hit and not one leftover!
Ahhh! That's good to know. Bought a couple of flats and did them both for Mother's day. Was going to look for packers at a couple of the better butcher shops in my area.
First time brisket - two 4.5-5 lb flats
Right before smoke
Second one - no pics of the first since we devoured it.
Greetings-
My girlfriend bought me a WSM 18" (and a companion cook/smoke book) for Christmas. I'm a lucky guy! With the delay of spring here in the northeast, I didn't get a chance to use it until last month. My first smoke ever was baby back ribs - two racks for her mom's birthday. Turned out...
