What to put in the smoker this weekend?

I'll toss in a vote for a pork tenderloin. One of my favorite things to smoke. Although, if I could get my hands on some fresh salmon that might be a whole different story.

What time should I swing by to eat on Sunday?

Depends how much I drink on Saturday... never know when that smoker is gonna get uncovered and turned on.

I made my holiday ribs for the neighbors get together. I took four racks of ribs and had my darling rub her dry rub on my meat. Then we let them marinate for a couple of hours at room temp. I then put them in my smoker with a mix of hickory and peach chips. The smoker I used is electric(I have several smokers) so I smoked with one pan of chips for 40 minutes at 275 degrees. I then put them on my grill long enough to cook a little more and get the grill char. Then I put them in the oven at 225 for several hours. I had three pans of ribs, one I put in the oven plain, just rub, another pan I used a sweet BBQ sauce and the third pan I used a vinegar based BBQ. Very savory and they were a hit.



And yeah I made that Freudian slip about my meat on purpose......

This past weekend, we picked the last of the jalepeno peppers in the greenhouse. They were different varieties of jalepeno, but I lumped them all together, sliced them in half, and smoked them with pecan chips in the electric smoker at 180 degrees until they were dried. Then I ground them up with a coffee grinder tonight to make chipotle powder. Just in time for chili season.

How do you like the results from pecan, if you use it for any other food? I've had mixed results, not sure what's going on.

I typically use it on the peppers, but I did a test turkey in the Big Green Egg on Sunday using pecan and had good results. I'll be using it again tomorrow. I did it as more of a flavoring smoke at the beginning of the cook and it put really good flavor into the turkey skin and the carrots and onions in the drip pan.

The MIL just overnighted us 17 #'s of fresh salmon that they caught in Alaska this week. That's what I'll be smoking this weekend.

Are you doing a cold smoke for the fish or just a regular smoke?

Try a Smoked Fatty if you haven't yet. They're quick, easy and full of flavor. Do some Googling to see all the various options of this favorite and select the one that has the ingredient list you prefer. Good luck!
