Re: What's in your smoker?
I tried to do 4 slabs of baby backs this past Saturday and failed miserably. The frigid temps with the high winds killed any attempts I made. I did wrap them in tin foil and finished them in the oven still pretty tastee. Pain in the arse in my neck of the woods this time of the year to smoke meat.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Between the rain, wierd schedules and being sick, I haven't really done anything on the grill or smoker in a long time. Seems like whenever I had a break and could have done something, it was freaking raining... :sad

I could see that with MiddleEastern or Indian food perhaps? I throw in cinamon sticks all the time and that works well. |

Re: What's in your smoker?
I smoked a 2.5 lb eye roast and half a chicken. It was 20 out and I had the WSM cranked with no water and never got out of smoke range!
Diggin' those pecan shells. Next time I want to soak the shells and see how it is different. |
Re: What's in your smoker?
Has anyone ever burned acorns in their smoker? Acorns are used in Spain for roasting.

Re: What's in your smoker?
Wouldn't oak chunks just be simpler?

I went looking for acorns yesterday but there was too much snow on the ground and my dog was giving me "it's cold out" eyes. |

Regarding you oak comments above, TX and MA samples, one thing to look for is weather, the colder the weather the denser the wood, even for same species of oak, which the two are (same). Main reason "French" barrels are preferred for aging wine is the density of wood (less air transmission and oak taste that is different as well), which is denser in Europe than it is here. Historically, French used to buy all their oak in Eastern Europe (Carpatian Mountains) for a reason, it is denser than it is in the woods of France (warmer climate). WWII stopped that, of course. As you noted, one should see oak difference between TX and MA. But then one reason Bourbon tastes like it does is the use of warmer climate oak for barrels and there are more wineries now using it as well. Spain and Oz have been for some time now. |
Re: What's in your smoker?
Doing 5 flat iron steaks on the old smoker for the big game. Only one problem though, it's damn cold and it just started to snow.

Re: What's in your smoker?
We cooked up some horse sausage and chicken drummies over hardwood charcoal from the local forrest. The chicken was seasoned with thyme, rosemary and lavender from the garden.
This style of BBQ uses a lot of wood! Yikes. Far cry from using a Webber. Getting the wood ready for charcoal: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...l/DSCN3526.jpg Close up of food: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...l/DSCN3527.jpg As it cooks: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...l/DSCN3529.jpg |

I hope it was from a horse that died of natural causes...not harvested for meat.

Old, tough, stringy, possibly diseased meat? There's a reason the animal died naturally after all. Would you eat a cow that died of natural causes? Or a chicken? blech... Assuming that the USDA would even let you, which they won't AFAIK. |
Re: What's in your smoker?
Cook what you want...but I find that to be very disturbing. The horse is a highly intelligent animal with a very respected history in America.

They just happen to be made out of bacon, so they're basically ****ed. Cow is considered sacred in some countries and religions, and, as such, they are never slaughtered or eaten. Do you think that fact even enters the mind of most Americans when they pick up a pack of ribeye steaks at the market? Different cultures bro. Doesn't make any difference to me if they want to raise horses for food. Heck, I'd be willing to try it out of culinary curiosity if I'm ever in Switzerland. I can't say if I'd make a habit of it or not though. |

Precisely. You wouldn't eat an animal that died naturally, so why would you expect the Swiss to feel any different about their meats? ----------- Addendum: No need to answer bro (besides the fact it was a retorical question) , looks like we were both posting at the same time. |
Re: What's in your smoker?
That was in regards to horse meat specifically because of the inhumane treatment and slaughter. No I wouldn't eat a cow, chicken, or pig that dies naturally either...but that is not relevant to my opposition of horse meat.

Re: What's in your smoker?

I'm not so much advocating that horses should be eaten (or not), I'm simply speaking to the "different strokes for different cultures" tolerance but more importantly, the fact that if they are going to eat it, that there's no reason it should be not be able to be processed with the same health & agriculture code standards as other meats. |

I'll agree that Mexican slaughterhouse procedures can be kind of sketchy depending on the facility. Honestly, I didn't even know that Mexico processed horsemeat for human consumption until you mentioned it. |
