Who’s up early rolling smoke this morning?

[mikewoods]

I love getting up early to get the cooker going! Who else is up preparing for the day’s festivities?

 

[Steve H]

Getting up at 7am is almost unheard of for me. I must have been tired. I'm usually up around 3am. I just put the cured pork loin in the smoker.
These will be thick sliced boneless chops. And will get a char on them before serving.

Up early too. Up at 4ish. Binged on some Netflix. Carnival Row and some strong tea. Just made a latte double shot after running to get some donuts for the fam. Local joint runs out if you are late...

My first snack sticks on deck. Stuffed last night. I think my plunger gasket was upside down like your was @Steve H Also, I am jealous. You are doing what I wish I was smoking. Only difference, I plan to cold smoke, make into chops, and roast in kraut. I had a similar morning as yours yesterday. Woke up at 9am. I was like WTH?!

Ha, maybe it's the cooler weather. At least up this way. My mother used to make pork chops with kraut, spices, and crushed tomatoes. Loved that dish. I just got the recipe from my sister. I'm looking forward to having that again.
