Hey friends,
Haven't posted for quite sometime. Wife bought me a new smoker. She meant well, but...yikes.
Oh yeah, let me add "Walmart Sucks".....lol. Backyard Offset Smoker.
Painted peeled off smoker box, and almost impossible to maintain 300 degree temps.
Good news is, I can use this for cold smoking...and then put into my electric box Smoke Hollow to finish.
So that being said, I watch his shows, and literally drool at all the smokers and grills they have! :-)
Bacon, Ham and Cheese Chicken Thighs & Bourbon Brown Sugar Smoked Pork Loin.
Chicken Thighs stuffed with Dijon, Ham and Monterey Jack....Gruyere just too damn expensive. Smoked for 1 hour 45 minutes.
The pork loin, butterflied, (Recipe called for Jack Daniels, I'm a Jack man, didn't want to part with it...lol, a friend gave me a big ol' bottle of Crown Royal Green Apple Whiskey at Christmas and I didn't care for it too much so, I thought....Pork/Apples pair well.
Anywho, poured an ounce of whiskey on meat, layer of dijon, layer of brown sugar, sprinkled another ounce on brown sugar to moisten and put back together. 4 pieces of applewood smoke bacon around it, tied off and smoked away. Was supposed to be 1.5 hours at 300 degrees, but it ended up being 2 hours at 250/300/275/250/300.....etc, you get the picture.
Chicken Thighs were amazing. Pork loin.....looked awesome, but ended up being rather dry, was a bit dissappointed with it, everybody thought it was amazing, I just thought it could have been a bit juicier. Here is some pics for your viewing pleasure:
You can see the paint peeling off on the smoke box, thats nothing compare to what it looked like when I was done. Guess that's why they invented grill paint. Side note: It got so hot it melted the plastic handle on the vent lol.
Many more projects to try this summer! Hope to post more soon.
Scooter out!
