Smoker recipies

Recommended Posts

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 . :good:

What a busy day. Boxing day travels,bacon in the smoker then home to make my soup. I decided to go with a Hungarian tribute to my great grandmother. I am not sure I made it exactly the same,but it tastes and looks the same. What would I know,I was a young boy whom liked to eat.

The hock was super tender. Boiled for 1 hour, pulled and cleaned the bone off. Everything back in the pot. Huge sweet onion,celery, the rind and bones and the meat. Once simmered for another hour, in goes the tomatoes. Simmering away for the next hour. Pull the bones and rind before serving.

Dang it smells and tastes great. Only regret is, I wish I had of smoked a half dozen of these hocks. I know now .:good:

Sobeys have brisket on special, $4.99/lb so I decided with this nice fresh cool weather it was the perfect time to replenish my supply. Simple Texas style soon to be chilled, sliced, and vac sealed (after a few samples 😉

Turkey legs and thighs have been bathing for 3 days. Time to hit the smoker. They were on sale at food basic, and I needed to smoke something, so why not,,,,,,,,,,,

2 pans Apple, 1 pan Pecan. 1st time using pecan. I was thinking fruit and nutty. Held a good steady temp for 5.5 hours. Basted every 2 hours with a mix of,maple syrup , Italian olive oil and dried tomato to keep the meat moist.

Looks good to me

Looking good, Brian.

 

I have never used pecan for smoke wood, never seen it for sale I don't think.  I agree with apple for sure, but I don't recall doing turkey pieces either.  They look delicious!

So when I saw your post last week, I jumped in the car and headed to Sobeys.  I forgot how big a whole brisket is.  Those vacuum packed whole briskets at 4.99 looked great, but no way I can eat 20lbs of brisket.  But they had cut pieces for a bit more, so I got a nice $30 slab for smoking on Canada Day.    thanks for the tip.  I plan to smoke it for about 3 hrs, then wrap in foil and leave it for another 10 hrs or so overnight at some low temp,  Hopefully will be awesome like the last one I did..
