I had posted earlier regarding curing some meat and here is the update.
The cured meat came out of the brine today and following are a few pics for the food porn addicts (my daughter loves the food porn term). Tried to follow the smoking prescription from “the sausage bible” but had trouble keeping the Klose that low so ran at 145 then 170 for less time vs. 130 then 160, but it worked out fine.
Here are the loins ready to become Canadian bacon.
Finished bacon, glazed with maple syrup
Beef top round roast with pastrami rub – recipe from BBQ Centrals RonL, except half the salt
Finished pastrami
Corned beef heading for the crock pot for tonight’s dinner
Plated with cabbage and potatoes from my garden.
I’m hosting my annual tomato tasting tomorrow and in addition to tomatoes and biscuits, also serving some Canadian bacon and stuffed fatties.
Fatties with my peppers & onions, scrambled egg, cheese and hash browns
Finished fatty. I over stuffed it. Sorry about the pic.
Also doing a slab of ribs for a friend. Rubbed with a good coat of Big Dudes Original and a light coat of Billy Bones XXX Cherry
Finished ribs glazed with Tennessee River Cranberry Delight – goes great with the cherry rub.
Friends said they were wonderful and maybe my best yet.
Smoking on a 90+ degree day is definitely not as much fun as other times.
