I like doing turkeys this way when I have the time as it makes for a more relaxing Turkey Day for the chef as most of the work in done a day or 2 beforehand. Also I think you make the best use possible of all of the bones for stock.
The bigger the bird the easier this is to do. I start with a...
Been feeling a little under the weather the last few days so I'm just getting around to posting these. I did a wet cure with molasses, brown sugar, sallt pepper and paprika. Cured for about a week. Here are the slabs ready for the smoker.

This dish is typically done with veal shanks but since I was the recipient of about 30lbs of fresh pork hocks a while back I used some of those. I'm in the process of curing about 12lb of hocks to smoke so I decide to use a few fresh for this.
I dredged them in seasoned flour and browned them...
Not a smoked dish but I suppose you could smoke the chicken pieces first if you wanted to give it a try. But this was for my mom and Cathy for Mothers Day dinner.
I cut the bird into 10 pieces by cutting the breast pieces in half.
I then browned 1/2 lb of bacon(mine of course) pieces in my...
Someone a buddy of mine knows took some pigs into the meat packer for butchering and this guy has no use for the hocks. So I was lucky enough to be the recipient of 30lbs of fresh hocks all individually vac packed.
They are really nice and meaty looking. Looks like they included the shank and...

Buddy of mine got a bear up nort in da UP a couple of weeks ago. He wants me to smoke the ribs for him so I thought I'd ask for some suggestion on it. Bear from my recollection is pretty fatty so I'm thinking doing the ribs as I would porkers would do the trick. Any other thoughts or advice?
