Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
The current thread on pork belly's got me thinking there may be some ideas out there for something different. BTW, if I can find pork belly's I will certainly try the burnt ends.
I bought my first smoker from Cabela's with a gift card I got when I retired.
Pork butts are good, and easy. Smoked chuck roast for pulled beef is really good. Did not have much luck with brisket, but probably needed to pay the bucks and get the better cut.
I have tried making pastrami from a corned beef (OK, but not great), and just tried a recipe for Canadian bacon. Too salty, so I will try again with less brine time.
One other thing that has worked well is smoked salmon. I don't have the equipment to low temp smoke, but if you like smoked salmon dip, smoke the cheap frozen stuff. For this you can't tell the difference.
So, any other ideas fro something different?
