Saw this earlier this morning, might want to take it into consideration for this coming weekend in the Long Point area. http://www.simcoereformer.ca/2015/06/17/south-coast-marathon-conflicts-with-opening-day-of-bass-fishing

If a smoker was air tight Brian I'm sure the wood wouldn't smoke. Get a small electric and go for it, then share with the neighbours. They'll love you.

I won't re-post all the pictures Rick but you're killing me and I just pulled four large over night brined chicken breasts out of the smoker. I'm suddenly feeling small time.... Here they are when I was loading them in a little earlier.

Anyone recognize the guy in the white T-shirt and baggy pants?

Congrats to you and all of your family Bruce.

Late Saturday afternoon prepping dinner and listening to Wintersleep.

Yep, a bag of smelt.

Yesterdays dinner. 5 lbs of beef back ribs. Out of the smoker after 90 minutes of apple wood flavouring. Inspired by Manitoubass2's post a few days back I made a sauce for the ribs to finish them off in the slow cooker. Started the sauce with a can of apple juice, 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 peeled and cored apples, 2 peeled and cored pears, 1 diced onion, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, teaspoon garlic powder and some fresh ground black pepper. Simmered to reduce volume for 3 hours then pureed it with an immersion blender. Placed the hot smoked ribs into a preheated slow cooker and poured the sauce over top. Dinner for one. The ribs were pretty amazing. I'd definitely do it again with the remaining 5 lbs. Only thing I'd change is to cut in half the amount of cider vinegar or remove it entirely. Plenty of acidity from the fresh fruit I used in the sauce. Or add more brown sugar though I think that would be the wrong direction to take. Oddly enough I started with a 1/2 cup of cider vinegar but thought it not tart enough, oh well.

Two thumbs up for Natalie!

Cruiser's Creek..... now

Yum! I'd really like to hear how that turns out Bud. I have a few large pork butts in the freezer now.

Perhaps not where you were standing.

Or that, like auto dealer plates.

Perhaps a local marine dealer water testing it. I don't think registration numbers can be issued until it's purchased.

Atlantic. That's not really a good indicator MoS as Great Lake Browns when in bright silver can also display X shaped spotting.

Now you're just showing off!

^ This!

Coming soon. Another evening (my 3rd) with the amazing Hugh Cornwell.
