    First pickles - "Bread and butter" with a secret...

    The secret is, I wasn't going to run out for red pepper flakes at midnight so I crushed four red ripe pequin peppers in the boil. I'll let you know how it goes with my testers... My first time pickling anything, and mid-week at that (I didn't finish up until after midnight) so I had to...

    2nd Canadian...

    Whole loin, Pops brine, cured for a long time this time (sixteen days.) Green Mountain Grills "Gold" pellets mixed with apple chips in AMNPS, with a plumbers torch providing the heat source since my cabinet smoker is too hot at its' lowest setting. Smoke/cook time was about five and a half...
