We ran out of pulled pork a couple of months back and have been wanting to fire up the smoke and throw a couple of butts in there. Unfortunately, we had a week winter and the bears went to bed late and got up early. I smoke the butts for 17ish hours and the bears have been coming out of the woods as there's not many berry for them but plenty of food in the garbage cans (I keep ours in the garage until pick up days).

We've had a bear for the last month or so around our neck of the woods. They usually come out at night but this year they are out any time of the day looking for food. Plus, to make matter worse, they are extra hungry as they are trying to beef up for winter.

Looks like I will have to wait until after the first real snow we get before I can fire up the smoker over night.

I'm a bit jealous of you.

@in. pred enjoy your freedom. Try crazy things you wouldn't usually try. If it's great do it again. If it's not, it never happened, no one saw it.

Always amazes me..

"Wife's away so I can smoke what I want"

I mean when it comes to smoking anything, you always do what you want?

Mind you my wife does not cook, so she can't complain what's on the table.

my wife dont like things as smoky as i do is all.

pork sirloin chops got the first attention. slathered them up friday and smoked yesterday early afternoon. had some bellas on grill as a saide. i munched on them till bedtime. lol fell asleep in chair watchin a western. fishin smokin eatin drinkin makes a big long day anymore. lmao

the sirloins and bellas plate. no sauce needed! usually i batter and fry these sirlion chops. they are more tender and juicier than regular chops. just cant beat them country fried with gravy but these were rite up there too!

shrooms were done on the grill top rack slow while meat smoked.

the deer roast i brined yet to come.

love freezing them in water. they come out looking the same as went in freezer.

ill give that a soak for maybe a day. poled it full of holes with fork to help brine penetrate. new test brine/merinade mix of onion, thyme, rosemary, pepper(blk & red), garlic, paprika, salt, sugar, lemon juice, soy sauce, winchester sauce, french dressing, and lil water. i dont normally use lemon juice. i added to maybe help break down, and infuse water with the seasonings. most time i do that with a simmering process but trying to get same results without cooking. in my experience a cooked wet brine will way out perform a regular cold mixed brine. i was pressed for time, as dawn bass bite was gona start. lol

made a batch of breakfast sausage with extra red pepper for morning feasts. she dont like hot either. lol
couple seasoned up (more red pepper n garlic)hard eggs and patty of my sausage mix. im gona feel that later i bet. :0

the spatchcocked yard bird is still soaking in brine. it mite hit the smoke sauna tomorrow?

hitting the store for supplies. lol gona whip up a batch of stirfry with extra fresh ginger(wife not big fan of that either) and hot peppers to feed off the next few days too.

trying to add veggies in here and there. i instantpoted an acorn from the garden last night as bedtime snack. lol amazing how fast and tender it makes them. mite grab cauliflower head and do one of those in there. slather entire head with butter and seasonings. place in istantpot with chicken broth and squeeze for like 6min. comes out soaked with butter and flavor. yum but a gas factory for me. lol lookout morning reveille blasts. hehe
