Folks tend to woof them down rather quickly, and are to full to eat the main course - so be careful. Also allot of people use cream cheese in theirs - I've done both and prefer cheddar. Let us know if you do make them.

Heard about these. But haven't tried them. Perhaps when I get back from the Falls Saturday this will change.

Those look great Chris! Nicely done!
I'm going camping this weekend and will be adding this to the menu to smoke on my Joe Jr. Thanks!

The recipe I used was Jeff's. He mixes a rub into cream cheese and fills the little bowl to the top then adds chopped onions and tops it off with rub. Worked pretty good for me.

Looking good!! Love the bon fire!

I hope you do Steve they're really good. I think you'll like them, and thanks for the like.

Thanks Hawging, they are really good, and I just had another bon-fire. Not as big because of the slight breeze but it was fun.

This looks way too good to pass up! Now that I know what a pork shot is I'd best get off my butt and pound out some kielbasa, I have to make these. Like, RAY

I don't think you'll be disappointed Ray. I can't remember anyone trying one that didn't like them.

Thanks for the like also - appreciate it, and be sure to post up when you make them.

Of course I'll post up Chris! If you don't post, it never really happened. I'm already thinking a batch of half cheddar and half cream cheese, like I saw Chopsaw post, that sounds good too. RAY

Ray , they are great . I like them with cream cheese . It likes to expand when heated , so if you use cream cheese don't get them to full .

Good advice right there. I don't care to much for cream cheese so I don't use it, but I have seen it volcano over the top of many a pork shots members have posted.

Since summer is almost upon us - the outdoor parties can't be to far behind. This is an appetizer that is always a huge hit at our parties. The pork shot is a little bundle of goodness that is very simple to make and smokes up quickly. This thread will hopefully get you through the basics of making them. Lets get the party started.

First the gotta start the fire:

Thin blue smoke:View attachment 366873

Ok seriously...the mixings. Kosher salt, garlic and onion powder, ground pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, smoked sharp cheddar, kielbasa, dark brown suger and bacon.

Slice the kielbasa up into half inch or so slices.

Cube the cheese small enough to fit in the shots.View attachment 366866

Slice the bacon to fit one revolution around the kielbasa. I got lucky this time as slicing it in half fit perfectly.

Roll them up and insert a toothpick to keep the bacon from unwinding. Note to self: make sure you have enough toothpicks before starting.

Drop in a few cubes of cheese:

And fill with your favorite rub mix. I listed my ingredients at the top of the page.

Since I'm only doing a few pork shots the Kettle with a side basket gets the call.

Indirect heat - Kettle is about 225 to 250* degrees with a chunk of apple. The two hot dogs are for skidmark. He loves smoked hotdogs.

Their almost done.

Plated and ready for the pallette:

Thanks for taking a peek hope you enjoyed. This is how my family likes them. Some people like cream cheese instead of cheddar, while other folks put hot peppers in them. It doesn't matter it's all good. Use your favorite rub mix. I've made these in small batches like this one or larger batches(100 to 150) for my childrens wedding receptions and haven't had any leftovers to take home. Give them a (pork)shot if you've never tried them.

Any suggestions are more then welcome.

Chris.

Ya. I'm definitely doing this.

Pig Shots are good filled with anything. Just like a shot glass when you were young!
