NEPAS Made Me Do It

[acw3]

I am slowly getting back to using my MAK. I had one more pound of kosher salt brined peanuts that I needed to smoke, this time with a different flavor pellet (apple wood). I had previously done two pounds using oak pellets. Sorry, there are no pictures of the first batch of peanuts. I decided to try something I saw Rick (NEPAS) do some time back, smoke a chub of bologna, cut into chunks and pickle the results. I also decided to try a recipe I got from one of the Canadian guys (Mike, aka Lumpy) I met at the NEPAS Smoke Out back in June. This involved smoking and pickling some hard boiled eggs.

The first picture shows the peanuts and the bologna on the top shelf of my MAK while it is in the “smoke” setting.

 

 

The second picture shows the Vidalia onions, small jalapenos and hard boiled eggs in the cold smoking side of my MAK. The onions and jalapenos were added to the pickling “brew” and boiled until everything was nice and tender. I used the same pickling liquid for both the eggs and the bologna.

 

 

The last picture shows three jars of smoked pickled eggs and two jars of smoked pickled bologna.

I plan to give two jars of eggs and one jar of bologna to my son as a Christmas present. His wife will kill me. Oh well, you only go around once! The smell of everything was good. I can’t wait to open a jar of each and sample them.

The links aren't working, since you only have 5 posts the mods may be holding them up.

You need to click on "Insert image" icon then click on "Image URL" and then paste the "Direct Link" address from your pictures on photo bucket into the slot labeled "Import URL" . At least that is how I do it from Photbucket. You can't just paste the "IMG" address directly into your post you have to add a image and use the Direct link address instead of the IMG address. Hope that makes sense.

OKAY!  I finally figured this thing out.  It's been driving me crazy.  I finally got the pictures added to my post.  Sorry it took so long.

How is the bologna off the smoker, not pickled? I bet it's good that way too! Everything looks good there Art.

Actually, the bologna off the smoker is really good.  I debated whether I would pickle it or not.  I decide that I would go ahead since I had the pickling solution already made.  Besoides, I can always go back and smoke another chyb of bologna later (which I will probably do).
