I originally wanted to try and cold smoke this like Disco does yesterday when I pulled it out to rinse and soak for 20-30 mins. Unfortunately it was Sleeting. I wasn't overly motivated to try. I've also gotten some bug or another and new medications that have me feeling sicker then usual, and fatigued. <Neuropathy pain meds. My doctor said most people would have asked for them a few years before I did. I'm just darn stubborn>.
So I got the MES going at 150f, and plan to do that for an hour, 160f for an hour, then leave it at 170f till they hit 145f to 155f. I'm using Lumberjack's Fruitwood blend pellets. I was almost tempted to bust out the garlic or rosemary ones..but I plan to use rosemary on the ham I'll cure using Foamy's method with a porkbutt for thanksgiving.
Sorry I've not been so active gang..but I had to rebuild my computer. Been just plain under the weather, and haven't been smoking as much because I hit a slump for ideas. We do plan to either buy a decent small metal shed, or build one and just leave the smoker in it. Might need to rig up a good light if we get the metal one, but I want to make sure I can actually run my smoker in it, and grill possibly.
PS: Yes, I really like to load bacon up with black pepper..as does my dad. This is what happens lol.
