Smoke Blower
Hey all...so I had a friend come over today after he found out that I was going to be firing up the smoker today. He wanted me to smoke up a couple of squirrels for him and then enjoy them after they were done. Now, I haven't had squirrel since I was a toddler (or so I'm told) and I liked it then so I figured why not? I'll give it a shot...
2 squirrels rubbed with a bacic BBQ rub that I got from here in SMF and I thought it would compliment the meat nicely....
THe finished product. I took a tip from whole hog cooking and smoked them so the cavity was up and it didn't leak out any juices so the meat was still pretty moist and a little tough but that comes with the territory seeing as how it is squirrel. I smoked them for about an hour and a half at 275 but I think I may have been able to get away with smoking it at 2 hours. It was a learning curve for me seeing as how it was the only time I have smoked squirrel and something that lean as well. It ended with a bit of a gamey, beef like taste and was better than I thought it would be.....
