I stopped in this morning Cliff . Bought 2 nice slabs. Was even able to cut one in half it was so nice and chunky. Will be smoked next weekend. Double packed to ensure the seals do not break. Brown sugar and salt cure.
Yup, got another new toy. Got the kit new for $15. Another auction steal . This unit is solidly built.
Looking for a good recipe . Ya been looking on line, but most use those packaged seasonings packs. Anyone have their own recipe ? Will be smoking the meat, not using a dehydrator. Also vacuum packing everything for later eats.
While out last weekend,I noticed clouds of 1/2-1 " shinners, so tied up a couple to try. Sure has heck,they were chomping on them. Could not get enough bigger fish for a feed, but yet another, tie that catches. I even took out my ultra light that I was gifted a few years back, maybe more from Porkpie. LOL
Oh the sun rise was amazing this morning. Like a painting. Even the moon looked great, better the the photo anyways.
A side note,I need to get a lithium Ion battery for the new finder,as it draws more power then I thought it would from the 7.2 sealed one I have been using. I am looking at getting one of those milwhacky converter battery attachments for my 5 hr batteries. I know they work well,as another fellow angler uses that for his set up. Home depot did not have any when I was there yesterday. Guess it,s on line for one, if I can find it .
Finally got around to buying one of those chimney charcoal things. What a game changer this thing is for getting the coals hot and ready fast . I have always been a pyramid stacker like my pop . Add fuel, let sit for 5 minutes and fire up,wait 40 minutes til coals go white. With this new addition,coals are ready in 15-20 min. Game on then.
Went indirect heat . It,s the only way to cook butt chops. Let that excess fat drip away. Once done, put them over the heat, bit a char and mop on the gooyness..
First got to get the corn and taters done
Then the meatfest begins.
Fishing the notty one morning and I could hear this chopper . It got louder and louder. Flew right over us just above the tree line. That was very cool.
The only issue will be filings he will get in the bottom end. You will want to flush it out. Filling from the top hole ,so you push out the fine metal.
