Pork Shots

[motocrash]

Give them a (pork)shot if you've never tried them.

Any suggestions are more then welcome.

Well...you inspired me.I had on hand:
Premio Hot Italian sausages
Hatfield thick cut bacon
Francesco Rinaldi marinara
Whole milk mozz sticks
And a Weber kettle with nothing to do...
I lightly steamed the sausages for ~ 8 minutes,followed by a cold shower.I then let them rest ~ 5 minutes while I checked bacon length and cut in half as you did,grabbed the marinara and cut cheese sticks into appropriate sized hunks.The sausage sliced beautifully with little to no fat loss.Wrapped slices and put a dab (3/4 tsp ?) of marinara in each,sprinkled with basil,then cheese hunk to top off.They were excellent!

Thanks for the prod Chris,I have been wanting to try these for quite a while.

Looks delicious!!! I have been thinking of something simple to add to the menu for the fourth of July coming up. I think I just found one appetizer that will make the cut.
Thanks.

Mission successful!! no pics, sorry, but man everybody was fighting over them. In fact we did two dozen, I had one. Went out to check on steaks and a pork loin I was doing, came back inside and they were all gone. As I stood there with a what the hell look on my face no one would make eye contact with me. We also did the pineapple upside down cake that's on Rec Tec's site and not only did it come out looking exactly like the one on the site, it was the best I've ever had. I was worried about messing up my cast iron, but it just came right out with no sticking at all. It also disappeared in one night, but at least I got two helpings of it. Pics next time for sure. Worked till 3pm then to store, didn't pull the cake of till almost 10pm last night.

Looks great! They are always a hit around our house. We have used brats, polish sausage, Italian's, and even summer sausage.

Smoke ON!

Thanks Jason, there a favorite around here. I haven't tried brat's, Italian or summer. Those sound like great choices. Thanks for the like and new ideas.

Those look great! I haven't seen this done before.

Mike they've been around for awhile. You just don't see them very often. They are good and I haven't met anyone who doesn't like/enjoy them. Give them a try and let us know what you think.

Those look awesome Chris! I’m going to have to try these out sometime.

Thanks Geebs, Give them a try I don't think you'll be disappointed. Appreciate the kind words.

Very nice job Chris!! Pork shots are always a big hit at our house too.
And yep. You can add me to the growing list of "only kind of shots I do for the last few years".

I had not heard of anything like this before. I am starting some snack sticks tomorrow, but I'm going to have to give this a shot in the next few weeks.

Sounds like a great plan Aaron I admire you for picking up the torch. Not many in today's world would be as willing.

Way cool Binford, I'm sure they'll love them. Let us know how you do them and how they turn out. Thanks for the point appreciate it.

I know that expression Lookn, been there done that. Now I don't bring them in until I'm ready to chow down on a few. Or I'll sneak a couple before I bring them in. Glad they were a success. I'm going to have to clean up one of my grandma's CI pans and try out that pineapple cake. Sounds really good.
