Second smoke of the almost spring.. here’s photos

[JB_rD81]

With the price of beef sky rocketing and chicken being scarce at the stores, you can still find pork loins and tenderloins for about 1.30-1.50$ Per pound… smoked a pork loin last week and didn’t take photos, so here’s the one from tonight…

I’m slow smoking some chicken thighs as well… I’ll post pictures when they’re done

I like pork

 

[JB_rD81]

It would be great if Ribs would be on sale… or even shoulders.

 

[JB_rD81]

And here’s the thighs… with skin and bones of corse, they don’t taste the same without

I love the food porn. Can’t wait for the warmer weather!

 

[JB_rD81]

I’m not sure how often beef will be on the menu this year… unless I can find a killer deal

It’s sky high on the east coast. So is about everything else…

Our grocery bill has gone up about 25%…including toiletries cleaning supplies etc.

 

[JB_rD81]

Yeah, mine has gone up about 30% in the Midwest… not super thrilled… going to start putting live traps in my yard and living off rabbit and squirrel

Looks great like always

That’s a beautiful pork loin. I feel your pain, I was really looking forward to briskets this summer but bone in pork shoulder will have to suffice. I like doing whole chickens too and then making chicken salad out of the leftover with red onions and chipotle Mayo.

 

[JB_rD81]

I do my whole chickens on a beer can, or spatchcock. I think that will be on the menu this weekend

 

[Symarip85]

I just season the skin with Traegers and throw the whole thing in. I leave all the organs inside too. I like to grind up the organs for the chicken salad. They’re super nutritious and I think they add another layer of flavor you really can’t get otherwise.

 

[JB_rD81]

I eat gizzards, but they have to be battered and fried…

 

[Symarip85]

Try making a paste out of the heart, liver, and kidneys and mixing it with the chipotle Mayo before it goes into the chicken

 

[Poppy]

I like chicken guts!

 

[Poppy]

Gizzards and rice are in the rotation

Sheeesh I wish I would have took more pictures. I been using my smoker 3-4 times a week.
