Wife's standards are coleslaw and veggie tray. I thought the coleslaw was the weirdest thing at first but it just works. Veggie tray is loaded and includes green and black olives, cauliflower, broccoli, green and red peppers, served with a wicked ranch meets cream cheese dip.
From the smoker, sliced smoked turkey is probably the best hors d'oeuvre I make. Pops low salt brine and smoked for about 24hrs.
Never heard of that spinach maria but looks dang good! THANKS

try some dust. Total game changer for me. You can eat right off smoker but is perfect after a few days. Although resting helps, pellet smoked cheese is still too rough tasting to me and my family agrees.
