Never would've thought about lamb chops. Now just need to pick some up and try myself.

Thanks for the website Aaron. I personally have not, but maybe others have...

After all the pellet smoker talk this morning, I decided to throw together a quick fatty this afternoon and toss it in the smoker.

Grabbed some ground turkey, seasoned it up to taste like the typical Americanized stadium bratwurst, stuffed it with sauerkraut, cheese, some chopped onions, pickled jalapeño & fresno peppers, relish and mustard; rolled it up, froze it for 30 minutes and tossed it into the smoker with oak, cherry and a touch of apple.

Came out quite good save a bit too much smoke for the brat, it kind of overpowered the bratwurst flavor a bit, but not too much smoke to eat. I need to up the spices next time or use less smoke.

Mouth watering Adam! ...So where's the Cilantro?

Thanks guys.

The 'kraut fatty still needs some tweaking, but it'll get there.

Pete, very nice coloration on the bacon. Is that an Alton Brown terracotta pot style smoker?

yeah... Didn't have the appropriate terra cotta-ish top for it, so I just plunked my kettle grill cover over it. I had the large bottom already, and a electric element burner, so I thought I would MacGyver it up a bit.
It turned out well, sliced a smidge off the end for sampling off the smoker, a bit salty and extra smoky, but that's normal for an end I suppose/hope. The slab is in the chill chest now for slicing later, so I hope to see happiness. I don't imagine it will kill me in any case, so what the hell.

Cool. Have you done other cooks in the terracotta smoker or is this the first? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on their performance after you've done a few cooks.

I've never made bacon, but I have done other low temp smokes and yes, it's always really smokey around the ends because of the greater exposed surface area.

I have been a customer for years and also receive the free monthly newsletter. I just stocked up on more...they are running a special that expires tonight or tomorrow. Thought I would share it with you. My favorite is the grand champion.

Just the one, sir. Complete rookie (both me and the smoker). I have put in countless hours in front of a grill, but I imagine any Smoker, BBQ'er, or Charcutier would say that doesn't count for spit.

To get rid of some of the salt, you can par-boil the bacon in some boiling water. Just a min or so. That'll help draw out some of the salt plus help it crisp up really nicely.

Did you take the skin off before putting in the fridge? It comes off much easier when warm. You could always leave it on and cook up with the bacon. Built in crackin's.

replicant_argent · 04-03-2011, 08:26 PM

Yes, I had read that in Ruhlmans book, and if I have oversalted, that was my attack. Skin was removed, rather well, and with a nice cap left. Kudos to the butcher on that.

Chainsaw13 · 04-04-2011, 07:01 AM

Keep up the good work Pete. Just don't make the mistake of giving away some of your bacon to family/friends. You'll forever be hounded with the question, "When are we going to get some more of your bacon?".
