Smoking It Southern Style, A Throw Down Entry

[browneyesvictim]

Dang it Chile! I keep coming back to look at your black eyed peas! That photo just says it all!

I have never had them smoked or served anything like that. I do enjoy them every other way I've had em. Smoked BEP is now officially on my NEXT list! I cant say I have ever seen pork neck around here though, but I would imagine hocks, shanks or even rib meat would work as good alternates?

Oh... and I agree about the corn. Once I found out it was way better grilled with no foil (in husks either) It became a must have staple especially in the summer when the sweet corn is fresh around here. Just liberally brush (real) butter or herbed butter and salt/pepper on when grilling. Don't be afraid to get a little bit of flare ups from the butter. Those butter drip flames will lick the cobs with even more flavor!

Thank you Chile for the inspiration!  My better half loved it, but wants to know what it's called.  Leftover Chile?

I like a lot of meat in my beans, hocks don't cut it, shanks I've never tried in beans (Shanks too good for beans) and I've never been able to bring myself to pull a rib bone outta my mouth long enough to shred meat of into beans... Unless of course I shoveled beans in with it as I was chewing.
Meaty neck bones, cheap cuts of pork steaks, meaty hunks of brisket trimmings... Anything cheap, meaty and easy to smoke/grill over some beans, heck even just a big pile of fat trimmings adds awesome flavor dripping itself into'em.

Shanks, you mention shanks... I love shanks.
Gimme an oven full of venison shanks slow roasting in a deep pan of stock, with some veggies, herbs and wine... Heavenly.

Great meal Chile. Everything looks real good. I really like the pan fried corn--it's now on my list.
