    Boiled Peanuts?

    I have found if you can't find "green" peanuts to boil find the unsalted raw in shell dried ones.

    Non Smoked Loin Not Good

    I won't smoke a tenderloin without brining it. To me the difference in moistness and tenderness is worth it. Wrapping it with bacon is also good!
