Nice run in the smoker - chicken, sausage, jalapenos

[philpom]

It's been so hot I needed to minimize my time outside so I smoked a mess of things to help bridge the week for us. Nothing fancy, just good eats.

A variety of sausages, should have found something else to finish loading it up.

Thighs and drums.

Jalapenos for salsa.
Was able to scavenge enough stuff from the garden to make that happen.

And we went ahead and pulled our carrots, nice bunch and they smell so good compared to store bought.

It was a pretty good weekend!

That's a fantastic idea! Great job loading it up and making the most of time spent outside.

Wow, that’s crazy! Stay cool Rich… we are looking at triple digits here at the end of the week last I checked. So dry and smoky!

Looks . What’s your preferred method for reheating that stuff?

Nice way to do it all at once, smoking for the week

Love the look of your salsa with your own produce.

Thank you! I won't lie, for normal lunch food like this I zap it @1200 watts for a few seconds and enjoy. For lunch that normally looks like a bowl of sliced medallions of sausage, 3 or 4 fresh hot peppers and a hunk of cheddar. The chicken, I'd probably turn it in to chicken salad.

If I was serving it to someone, I'd bag it and do a water bath, hands down the ultimate method.

Thanks, it was a quick salsa but adding the smoked jalapenos gives it a nice character along with lime juice and salt. We didn't grow any hot peppers this year so just red and green Serrano and Jalapeno.

No kidding! We have had multiple days in a row north of 100. When I opened my instant read to check the chicken it read over 100, I didn't pay much attention but I did chuckle inside.

Stay cool, the weather is a drag on outdoor life!
