After enjoying the Pitmaster's Choice in other meats, I picked up some salt pork to smoke for
adding to beans.... Baked and green beans and whatever needs bacon... Everything needs bacon.....
My last test, the AMNPS got dripped on from the meat above and the pellets went out.....
So my steel trap mind remembered a tent type affair Todd had displayed on a thread some time ago....
Here is my version of the tent...... It worked great.... It is supported on SS wire about 2" above the pellets....
2 rows filled with Pitmaster's Choice pellets..... I plan on smoking the salt pork for 4 hours....
Then adding the pork skins from the picnic shoulder I'm grinding for breakfast sausage....
Salt pork in the MES 30......
Another row of pellets was added to the AMNPS as well as the tent after this pic was taken....
I'm prepping the picnic and grinding as this smokes.......
4 hours of smoke.... into the refer over night.....
Fry test 2 days later..... The smoke flavor was as good if not better than I expected.... Pleasing flavor....
It has been soooo long since I had bacon that was NOT pumped....
It was salty but I ate it anyway..... There should be a LAW against pumped bacon.... The salt pork was dry cured....
Said so on the package..... That is why I bought it......
I think I will buy more and soak it for a few hours and then smoke it to see what I get.... At $1.29 $2.05/ #..... why not...
After de-boning and skinning the picnic.... and grinding into breakfast sausage.... the hide went into the smoker for 4 hours.....
Put one chunk into green beans... Great smokey flavor......
The picture sucks.... the hide doesn't....
Thank you Todd..... The AMNPS and Pitmaster's Choice pellets have made smoking easier than I could have
imagined..... And the flavor of Pitmaster's Choice Pellets is a flavor anyone will appreciate....
