For burnt ends/meat candy, pork belly and beef, I use the same things. I always bring to temp and then cool a bit and cut. I don't cut first or wrap half way through.Good people I'd appreciate some help: can someone kindly write a couple of glaze recipes? It's been my weak point and I'd like to change that.
For more of a glaze, I thin a commercial sauce with a little apple cider vinegar or a jam (like pepper jelly).Good people I'd appreciate some help: can someone kindly write a couple of glaze recipes? It's been my weak point and I'd like to change that.
I hate eggplant, but that looks good.Smoked stuffed eggplant (Imam Bayildi).
Smoke the oiled and seasoned eggplant for about 30 minutes at 450 while making the tomato and onion stuffing. Stuff the eggplant and smoke again for about 3 hours at 225.

Get a bottle of Ken's Steakhouse Raspberry Walnut vinaigrette dressing and add 1/2 cup of honey or brown sugar. Mix it up good and start slathering it on during the last half hour of cooking. Works best with pork. it's on the thin side, so be sure to repeat often .Good people I'd appreciate some help: can someone kindly write a couple of glaze recipes?

Eggplant is polarizing. I generally only like it as parmesan on occasion or in a specific Thai dish (pad ped).I hate eggplant, but that looks good.
I was waiting for pork shoulder to go on sale. Well, it just did. So ...Have you done a pork shoulder yet? Hand pulled, vinegar based sauce sandwiches ala North Carolina, It was a family favorite. Vinegar and pork are a marriage made in culinary heaven.






I love my WSM 22". It maintains heat very well once you have it set where I'm only making little adjustments every hour or two.Oh boy - been revisiting this thread and so many great ideas. I've been spending time on the laptop this weekend trying to decide on a smoker - torn and will continue to be between a WSM and a pellet version (and leaning heavily toward Rec Teq for a little more versatility - I've had a Pit Barrel Cooker, which is great, for a long time but the heavier charcoal version of smoke is sometimes a little more than we want, or maybe I'm just getting lazy, lol).
I use a pellet smoker that can get up to 450, so it smokes and grills. The more hands-free approach of a pellet smoker regulating temperature (especially in Michigan, where you can get all four seasons in the same day) is perfect for my lifestyle due to work, family, and household obligations.Oh boy - been revisiting this thread and so many great ideas.
