Just started another pork belly for bacon . Do not mind paying primo for a piece of quality pork belly. This time I am going to salt cure first for 5 days,then brown sugar for 1. Think my salty taste came from the brown sugar trapping salt on the meat . Also have you seen the price of smoked pork hocks ? Stupid crazy. I picked up 2 chunks for $4 at Starskys in Mississauga . That is already a savings of $10. Have them in a brine mix same as I used for the turkey breast . Will leave for 3 days then throw in the smoker. Make soup mid week with them .

I drill 2 and done,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Just saying. 🤣

Will check out ours after work. I know I over paid for mine ( Tromblys always over priced ) but they were the only game in town. If they are here,I,ll be buying another pair as back up.

So you contributed to Huffas millions eh Paul . 🤣

Yes

Well the fish and turkey was a hit Shane. Co workers gobbled it up quick.

Early Christmas gift DA BILLS ARE IN THE PLAY OFFS 😁 Going to be fun

I am thinking ya. We need a new crazier then us guy these days. LOL

PERFECT Shane I did good.

Woke up 6am to find winds blowing, ice pellets falling. Not prime environment for the smoker . I was able to tuck it away in a safe spot for today's smoked turkey breast . This is my first attempt at this. 2 pans of apple chips. Smoked for 4 hours then pulled it and put in the oven as I was not getting the temps I needed to cook the breast even with the cover. Well after 2 hours in the oven at 275 with the door cracked, I got my breast done. I have yet to taste it, but dang, it smells and looks good. Reached the safe 170 deg. That is when I pulled it, so it would not be dried out . Tented with tinfoil. Funny thing is,there was this pop up button for when it was done. It never popped up. I am thinking it was stuck due to the brine. Once it cools off,I will sample it.

I was thinking further back. 72-75 We had to wear one til we could prove to the old man we could tread water and swim. I did my darndest to get that done, to get rid of wearing that thing.LOL We always had it on in the boat. Reeling in fish was a pain in the ass. LOL Running off the end of the dock with just shorts on, was SO COOL.

There is more go leafs go and freddy, freddy, in Edmonton. LOL

Call in the army

OMG, the big red pillow PFD. Now there's a memory. You had no choice but to do a full out arm pose. LMAO

One down, one to go. Pot luck Christmas lunch this week. I was asked if I would do something smoked. I said sure . So, I did up a BC Atlantic salmon side today from Costco . This came skinless and Y bones plucked. Perfect. It was put in a wet brine. It sure is delicious. 50/50 wood chunks. First pan apple, 2nd hickory. Before heading to the ice show, I did up a brine of brown sugar,kosher salt, pink pepper corns , cloves and 2 bay leaves. The turkey breast is bathing til 10 am . Do not disturb. LOL Stay tooned,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ya pics were cool. How did I miss yer ugly mug ? LMAO
