    Who all has smoking plans this weekend? I do! I do!

    Nuttin' special here. Just a few overstuffed fatties. The "healthy eaters" requested a turkey fatty so I'm attempting one for the first time. I stuffed it full of spinach, mushrooms, provolone cheese and onions. The devil in me insisted on wrapping it in a bacon weave. We'll see how it goes. The...

    I know Union County quite well. But I guess we're a little too far apart for routine recipe testing.

    OK GUYS & GALS! WHAT DID YOU GET FOR CHRISTMAS?

    Santa brought me a Vollrath 9qt chafer, 4 "bradley" racks, a new vacuum sealer, 20# of A-Maze-N pellets, a humongous prep pan, a full-length apron and a new rifle. Life is good.

    Hot Smoking Uncured Pork Shank

    I got my heat under control and held at 225F for the past two hours. At the 4-hour mark I hit my targeted 180F IT. They're now resting, covered, and I'll vacuum pack them to hold until I'm ready to use them for cooking. I hope they taste as good as they look. But I have to wait a few days before...

    Hot Smoking Uncured Pork Shank

    Hot Smoking Uncured Pork Shank

    At two hours my IT is 158F, I've got nice color and the outer flesh is beginning to shrink and fat is rendering. I planned to get to 180F IT before removing from the kettle.

    Hot Smoking Uncured Pork Shank

    I've seen very little posted here on this topic. So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and share my first attempt at this cut/method. I want these to make my black-eyed peas for New Year's Day and I wanted yo do it all from scratch. Hopefully it will work out! I brined the shanks in water, salt...
