This morning I smoked a home cured ham (just a rolled joint as a dry run for christmas) and this afternoon roasted a rack of pork over direct charcoal. Love the crackling.
Invited to some friends place for some epic BBQ. Mate cooked pulled pork, beef shorties in a Yoder pellet smoker and his lovely wife made pork belly burnt ends, chicken lollipops and cornbread in the Green egg. I contributed a potato bake. The most tender piece of beef I have ever eaten. The burnt ends literally fell apart as you picked them up. What a feed.
We all got several kilos of doggy bag to take home.
Oh... there was some salad as well.
Day off yesterday so had the offset fired up. Pastrami, Cheats ham and Pork belly burnt ends. No point running it half empty so smoked some mixed nuts, salt and eggs.
Looks good RJ, :drooling: same here mate no use running it half empty , i love smoked peanuts , :drooling: since my mate left the farm he was working on i have had to buy them ,we used to pick up a spud bag full of spillage each when they loaded them in the truck at his boss's farm
Nothing wrong with cheats ham RJ i do it quite often when i am to lazy to brine the bloody thing, corned silverside is a good one to do as well ,and lamb bacon
If i are doing any for xmas i brine them myself , my grandfather tought me how to artery brine the hams , when we killed all our own meat here i artery brined the hams ,if you know how to do that it is a lot easier than needles and pumps and you get a far better brined bit of meat, but you have to trust the butcher to not cut through the artery's when dissecting the legs (they have to be found and tied off before you cut them or they do the disapearing act) then you can't find them to do the brining 8.(
