[smoking b]

I haven't been able to smoke for a day or two so I just had to smoke today. I decided to use a pork roast I had that was just hanging around.

Coarse sea salt ready to go in the smoker.

Salt & pork went in the smoker at 250 degrees      AMNPS running maple pellets

Now I need a cow patty & figure out what else to make.

Ok the pork is out of the smoker & resting. Once it came out I raised the temp to 280 & left the salt in to finish out the rest of the pellets in the AMNPS.

Looking good! Your cow patty looks like it could use a little cow cream.

Looks Awesome!! 

 I'm not sure what the cow patty thing is, but I would totally eat it!!

Looking good! Your cow patty looks like it could use a little cow cream.

Thanks Todd 

   I've done that plenty of times but I don't have any right now. Growing up though my grandma wouldn't hear of adding something to her cow patty!! 

  

  

  

 She called it "country fudge"

Is it fudge? I thought it was pudding.

A cow patty or country fudge as my grandma always called it is kind of a cross between fudge & pudding & is actually really good. If anyone is interested I can go over how to make it...

 

[seenred]

Lookin' good! So what'd you think of that rub?

Ok back to finish up...

The pork roast turned out great - I was pleased with it. Very tender, juicy & flavorful. The rub I tried that Red recommended had a very good taste & the maple smoke melded nicely with everything. The honey/apple sauce was a good choice too. I don't always make a sauce for a pork sammy but I was in the mood for it today & I'm glad I went with the honey/apple - it was a nice complement to the already awesome flavor medley 

 

I'm not gonna get into the cauliflower or sautéed mushrooms - there was nothing special about them but they were good sides.

Now for the cow patty. It made a perfect dessert for this meal & if you get a chance to make one I definitely say go for it 

So that leaves us with just the salt...

Here it is when I brought it in. It is starting to change color.

In the jar - you can see the color change a lot better in this pic. This batch of salt will go in for 2 or 3 more smokes when I'm using maple till it gets to where I am happy with it.

Here is what it will look like when it gets done.

Here is a side by side for contrast so you can easily see the difference.

& that wraps up this particular meal
