Do you get sick of your smoked food until a day or two after you smoke it?

[pit 4 brains]

I get that way alot. I think it's because I like to smell the smoke about three inches above the top of the stack so i can smell what's going on in there ( I swear a good nose can tell when pork is done). I stand around in the smoke all day just because I like to and because nobody seems to bother me there. I too can heft a few six packs on a long smoke and by the time I'm done, I really don't have much of an appetite and the food tastes really sooty to me. The family with be elbow deep into it and think I'm crazy when I look at the meat sideways.

Never seem to have the problem when grilling though. Even when I do a long grill like a pork loin, I can't wait to eat..

Usually whenever I'm cooking a lot of food, smoked or not, I tend not to be very hungry for it when it's done. I don't know why. I'll eat it, but usually not much. I've always thought it was from just smelling the food all day that my body was just telling me I was already full.

No doubt........and then to top if off your neighbors always offer up some of their stuff to try. Especially new teams that say "try this and let me know what you think". LOL I think the thought of eating any Q disgusts me. Have any pizza?

A normal home cooking session is fine, but contests or a large cook just kill my desire to eat any Q for a while.

Not yet I have not. I think what your experiencing is allot of what the wives experience. Not stereotyping here, but they do usually do the majority of the cooking. How many times has your wife said to you when you go out for a meal. "This tastes so good, you know why? Because I didn't have to cook it"

I think maybe thats along the same line. Kitchen fatigue, sausage fatigue.
If you are getting tired of eating your own smokes, then you need to make more burnt ends LOL.
I think they were just listed as their own food group

I believe it... I assume that when your obsessing over the meat for a few days on the BBQ comp you prolly turn your nose up at it.

Personally, I love good BBQ and could eat it daily!
