On the fly smoked beef stew

[fritz]

Hey Rich.. Mike Hart went to the same high school as my sisters kids. Saw him play in high school, they said he was a good kid.

Heh..I'm sure he was... but he sure has messed up his senior year! Well, he DID have some injury issues I guess, but still. Grrr...heh. I, like many- have a high expectation for U of M football.

They sure did mess up this year.. You should try being a Syracuse fan, they have won 6 games in the last 3 years combined.

Yer made of sterner stuff than I, Fritz LOL!!

Even the name bugs me. Orangemen? Oompah Loompahs? hehe... ;{)

Its all together and smelling great. Hope its not too smokey.

If you have any time after your stew is made ... put it back in the smoker like Dutch's beans for an extra smoky stew!

I'm of course interested in the results, Fritz! Got some good hard crust bread for gravy sopping? Yummmm... I love beef stew!

Sorry for the delay Rich.

Here is the report on the stew. Unbelivable!!! I was a little concerned that the smoke would be overpowering. The meat had the nice kiss flavor of smoke, the gravy was the best, it had a nice rich beefy smoked flavor (thanks for the wine tip Rich). Just a great stew, Can't wait to do this again. Wish I took a qview but we ate all of it before I got a chance.

Oh I made some biscuitsto sop up the gravy...Yum!!

Many thanks for your help.
