Got a pellet smoker (GMG DB). Did my first cooking with it today: a chicken and a smallish pork shoulder for pulled pork. Used the same rub for both, my own cayennier variation on meathead's memphis dust. It was a big success, even with explaining to the neighbour that the garden was not burning down.

Yep, that all looks delicious. This is the year we started canning. Next year is the year we start smoking.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Noted with interest: One of the main ingredients in Fette Sau's rub is ... coffee!
ReplyDeleteI might try a bit of coffee when I get to beef. The pork & chicken rub was a bit sweeter.
ReplyDeleteYou have my mouth watering, my friend.
ReplyDeleteSecond session went well last weekend. Did chicken, a rack of ribs, and some sausages. Nothing this weekend but next weekend some bacon and beef ribs I think.
ReplyDeleteI hope the neighbors don't call the local constable on you. =)
ReplyDeleteThere's quite a bit of smoke on startup, after that, not as much, but, yeah, it is a bit alarming for the neighbors at first!
