Its a beautiful smokin kind of day, first time using the tubed natural hog casings and making brats. Im liking em. 50% venison 40% beef 10% pork fat

Johnsonville Original brats, Bacon wrapped Boneless Chicken Thigh with Heath Riles Everyday Rub, and TBones with Heath Riles Garlic Butter Rub and Waltons Steak and Roast Rub. Also had Mashed Taters with Chicken Gravy

I’ve been so deprived of ordering I’m going through withdrawals. I got so much I want to buy and get done but all my funds are going to pay for my $25,000 kitchen in 8 months then save up to order my new truck in July 2022. Seems like I work for free right now since I don’t see more than $25 of every check….it’s brutal but it’s life goals I guess

Finished product

Well finally got the stud back!!!

Golden oyster mushroom!!

So used to eating fast food, feels like I’m eating like a KING!!! I miss judged the time to start it in the smoker, so yes I’m eating at 9:30 at night…lol

Beef short ribs

AaronSilves just to clarify you set it to 175° from the start of your smoke/cook cycle and let it go? Or did you do the step up temp settings?

Saturday i had a 6 point at 20 yards broadside, he got a save a life card for a couple more years. Was fun watching him and being in his home with him.

RafterW call them the Dynamic Duo or with one in the oven maybe it should be trio. Happy for them, great looking bucks

AaronSilves the homemade smoker dont sound too off the wall, just unsure about of the insulation factor to retain heat.

Other than that im guessing the issue is somewhere in your processing or smoke/cook schedule

bocephus oh that sounds great

cdavis basically a pulled pork taco

Tex_77 it just too fine, I only ground it twice through a 3/8 with minimal mixing to avoid protein extraction. Gonna try a 1 grind next time

Tex_77 I do but this was a quick meal decision and were thawed out in the grocery store, which were right by the chicken thighs I picked up. As well as I’m not happy with my brats texture
