Thanks Crowman, until this recipe I had never know of Shsishito Peppers but I like them now.

Hmmmm, math was never my forte so lets try this, 60 hours divided by 24 (24 hours a day, yes  ) = 2.5 days.
But yes, I think 5 days would have only enhanced the process given the beef cut I used.

Now my query, if a Deer gets into the nice garden box, can you harvest it.

No...it's my math that's bad...but still a nice long soak. That's a lean cut so it needs some help.

Believe me, just another few months and Bambi is destined for the dinner plate..

Nature's Bounty

A very productive morning out on the lake yesterday (Lake O). I kept one little bright Steelie for dinner and served it up Cedar planked with a side of fresh garden goodies from my fishing partner's garden. He provided the fresh Dill, the Jalapenos and the yellow Zucchini. A carb free dinner if you omit the brown bottle libations.

Starskys was my old stomping grounds before moving out to California last year. Miss it!

Donuts anyone?

These are ground beef onion ring bacon wrapped donuts. Indirect for 2 hours at 250,with apple chunks for smoke flavor. A few mini meat loafs for mama just encase she did not like the onion. Seems I could of saved the meat loafs,she liked. I used sweet onions. Fresh peppers and left over onions wrapped with just pepper and salt. No butter. Just melt in their own juices.  The donuts are a bit of work to form.  Stiill delish.

Thanks Doug

If I do them again,I will do a step by step ,but you can google them. Like I said,bit of work,but delish. I think I might drizzle some maple syrup, instead of home made bbq sauce.

[misfish]

I have this going 5 hrs now. Sirloin butt. Using the snake method with apple chunks.  Just wrapped now and another 2 hrs at 250 deg. 

While that's been going, been busy with a spring order.

[CrowMan]

It's looks like a great day for smoking !

I've got a half brisket going since 6am in the Traeger...tuxedo/ Mustard rub and mesquite/cherry smoke.

Later I'm doing some Peri-Peri chickens in the wood burning oven.

Got 19 people over for a beach party this afternoon...tubing, wake boarding, and SeaDoos.

You got a nice bark on it...I'm always first in line for burnt ends..mmmm

I find smoking at 200f reduces the shrinkage. I also keep it spritzed every little while with a mixture of half apple juice/half apple cider.

Thanks. There was enough fat top, but I will give it ago next time. I have seen some briskets here,but all whole and the price was not cheap. They will be out again here in a month . I may just have to bite the bullet and get a whole one. Vac pac one half. Not a big fan of smoking meat that has been froze. Different out come IMO. I am very happy though with the way this one turned out.

 

YES,The ends,da best.

Enjoy your weekend Crow. Enjoy.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of smoking frozen meat either. I get mine from a little local butcher up here...a full brisket will run 18 to 20 lbs...that's a lot of meat and about a 20 hour smoke. If you get a half (most stores will cut them for you), I prefer the "point" half, as opposed to the "flat". The "point" has more fat and cooks up juicier when  you're doing a smaller one.

Happy August Long Weekend (or whatever they call it these days) !

Sandwich time. DANG. 

 

[misfish]

Round 3. Chicken thighs  marinated in lemon and coriander.  Indirect for 40 min at 300. Over to the hot side,basted,flipped,basted and serve. My chicken lover is over today and I got the thumbs up. 😆

Venison lasagna here tonight, no pics.  But we all know what lasagna looks like, right?

It was very good, even if I do say so myself!  😉

and oh yeah, fresh yellow beans from  the garden, very toothsome.
