I have a group effort of about 100lbs of Belly,Brisket and Top round I was forced to put in the freezer.
It's been 100-110 lately.
Just my smokers
(I have only 3) siting in the sun is 100 degrees.
If I put a chunk of oak and hickory in there it would be a gazillion degrees.
I like slow and low.
YA I'm going through MAJOR pain every time I open the freezer.
I see beef and pork along with 20+lbs of smoked manzano powder and 3X more of other dried pods and powders for rubs just sitting there calling out to be invited to a major pig out.
It Really causes me a LOT of mental anguish and pain.
I NEED to do up the belly first.
It has Skin on.
Bacon and chicharones.
The secret is to do the bacon trip with skin on.
Remove it 3/4 of the way to cured bacon.
Sprinkle the skin with smoked Manzano then after an overnight sleep FRY Them up,HOT AND FAST.
Oh shit,I think I just had an orgasm....
Smoke the bacon to about 160 or so and put it on my slicer at about 1/8th in. slices.
Best to let the smoke set in after slicing for a day...
Top Round makes great thin sliced smoked beef(rare) and Jerky.
We all know about brisket. Smoked Pastromi or just brisket.
Dam It,I'm going to have to look in the freezer and drool all night now...
Luckily I have 17 lbs + of the top round from the last sale smoked up and thin sliced in there too.
Guess since Avacado and Roma Tomatoes are on sale I gotta get a couple of each and some bolitas at the Mex Mart.
Cheese,Gotta get some too.
Swiss and or Provalone,add a couple peppers from outside,It might work.
Hot mustard from powder...
Out of Homebrews but I'm working now.
Tomorrow I gotta get cheese,Tomato,Avacado,Beer,tortillas and Bolitas.
Sorry I have old cameras.Batteries are dead for one and memory cards are filled up for the other.
Gotta hit up radio shack next week...or figure out how to put my memory cards on CD so I can erase them.
I think I have a post about the meat I have elsewhere.
I gotta get the cameras working and deal with the heat to get this stuff turned into good eats.
I know,no pics,it aint true.
Just to give credibility to the fact I do smoke stuff here is some chicken in one of my smokers.
Just to keep on the flat top subject...
Shread the chicken,toss a floatilla on the flat top,toss on some cheese,onion,smoked tomato,peppers or whatever floats your boat.
I'll post a couple pics of chicken,BUT be warned I have no use for presentation these days.
These pics look pretty sexy to me.
Screw the crap that looks like artwork.
A bunch of ribs looking like they just came out of the smoker sauna and are properly mopped with some sauce on the side or lightly applied work for me.
If you want artwork put a pool of sauce on the plate before yo put the ribs on it.
Green crap in a styrofoam container....
Chicken and Manzano pig out.Sorry no flat top involved...
Only 15 or so full birds.3 - 3 1/2 per shelf,split a couple in half
Wheat flotillas,Fresh Manzano,Refrieds.
Now IF I had a Flat top,I'd blister the Foatills in a thin wipe of bacon grease.
Id grill a few peppers and toss some shreaded Sharp Cheddar and Jack on the Floatilla.
Meanwhile I'd have some shreaded chicken on the top warming up with a dash of smoked manzano in it,and add roasted onions and garlic.
Add whatever you like.
Dinner is served.
