Another year and another heart to smoke
IMG_0151(1).jpg

I trim the majority of the fat off and pick a good rub

Coated in mustard and the rub was liberally applied

Smoked with apple chips at 225-250 for 5 hours, I usually do 4 but got sidetracked

The heart came out good and was done a little bit more than usual as I like it to be a little redder . All in all it was quite tasty with crackers and sliced cheddar cheese ! Thanks for looking .CM

That is a fine looking heart! I will have to try smoking one. I have always sliced and pickled my hearts.

Looks incredible! Great work! Duck hunting we’d always clean the birds and throw hearts in CI with butter and garlic. They were so amazing. Thank you for sharing!

I like to pull my harts at 140IT. I like Oakridge steak seasoning and will try on hart when I harvest deer this season.
