Ref; Springtime ideas

[TomKnollRFV]

Lay them on me..I thought of just asking in ABTs, but then realized this is a good idea for any type of food. It's finally supposedly going to not snow again till next winter! <Ha!> So let us see what people make to welcome in the new Spring!

I haven't gotten any ideas at all, so I will shamelessly see which ones I can try and do just that ;)

Morning Tom. I've got friends coming over next weekend for some smoked goodies. I plan to smoke a brisket flat and point (separated to fit in the MES 30). The appies will be burnt ends and Bacon/Pineapple Rollups. I've included the link to the Rollups below. They're a real PIA to make, but are ALWAYS a huge hit. If you give them a try, be sure to make about twice as many as you think you'll need. They go like hotcakes. Just let them cool a bit before serving them--straight out of the oven they're just like molten lava when you bite into them.

I am going to be making some pastrami from chefJJ's recipe. Maybe try some charcuterie?

Wow! That there is a fancy word! That stuff is still too complicated for me since I'm a real real novice. I'm smoking a more mundane thing for friends this Sunday like a pork butt and macaroni and cheese. For apps smoked chicken wings.

I keep hoping for another good sale to get them Umai bags to do charcuterie JC!

And I can't decide what I want to do more Gary..the roll ups..or the stuffed loin. I love the apple pie and pork combo. I've done it with pork chops <on top> goes so well..

And Humo; don't worry..thats the fun of this lifestyle..you get to try alot of things..

I was considering a brisket for my Bday that is coming up..but WI weather likes to snow on my birthday and that would be problematic.

Some day I might try sausage making; right now I'm just learning how to smoke easy stuff in the Woodwind.
Tom, finally our weather is breaking and I'm sure throughout the Summer I will be expanding my "repertoire".

Saw a recipe for a cast iron apple pie in the smoker that I might try this Sunday

 

[TomKnollRFV]

I've tried apple dumplings in the smoker and they were very good Humo!

And making Sausage isn't all that hard, it's stuffing the casings I find difficult!

<Also try smoked corn bread..oh is that good..>

 

[Humo18]

These are some great ideas. Eventually I will try some; probably Apple Pie first (served of of course with some Wisconsin Cheddar)

 

[TomKnollRFV]

Right now it's also good cold smoking weather for cheese Humo!

I am going to have to try smoking some cheese this year...

You're right Tom, I'm on my way to the store to get several blocks of cheese to cold-smoke them sometime next week. Got my A-Maze-N and cherry pellets ready to go!

Just checked the weather for my first Pork Butt smoke for friends this Sunday and as luck would have it when I start smoking at 5:00 am temp will be 28 deg F but eventually in late afternoon will rise in the 40's (am I in Wisconsin???).

Oh, happy birthday to you!

Somebody just bumped an old thread on Amish Mustard eggs I think will be a great treat at Easter.

Why thank you! And have that hair dryer on stand by to trick the MES into firing up! I keep an old one in my BBQ crate for that, also drying any thing on the smoker it self in a hurry.

I plan to make a run out to Hennings and Verns next week, load up on their 'mistake' blocks. The ones nut cut just right for stores....their loss is my gain!
