I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

Who eats real cranberries. Not that gelatin stuff in a can I mean I dont really like them so damn bitter. I like dried a lot better. I love candied yams but hell with cooking all that sweet stuff all the time in skillet or oven. I'd be a blimp if I ate that regular. The bread pudding I love and could eat all time to the pilgrims didnt have preservatives so stale beginning to mold bread was edible this way just cut out that green stuff. [Reply]

Real cranberries cooked down with a little orange juice are the shit. I love those things. [Reply]

It's not quite Thanksgiving but I'm going to smoke a small chicken that I'm going to use in making some chicken & dumplings. Smoked Chicken & Dumplings! I'm going to tweek the family recipe and see how it turns out. And since the smoker will be fired up I'm throwing on a couple of cornish game hens as well. Brine and then rub with some Poultry Magic with little sage, rosemary and thyme. I'm going to smoke it all on a rack over a pan so hopefully I get lots of renderings for the stock needed with the recipe. Smoked Chicken Stock.
thanksgiving Doing bacon wrapped turkey breast on the smoker for traditional Turkey entree.
smoked cured Sausage stuffed pork loin smoked over cherry and apple wood
Experiment during week to take to pitch in meal. Spaghetti squash lasagna with Italian sausage with ricotta and leftover/clearance mixed varieties of cheddar cheese (Murray's cheese)
