Smoking day

Huh? What? · Oct 10, 2019

Started the day firing up the smoker, so to speak, to cold-smoke the bacon I cured.

Pre-smoke bacon...

Dirty Chai

Chipotle Morita/Cayenne

Cold-smoking...

Post smoke bacon, ready to be vacuum packed.

It gets vacuum-packed and goes in the fridge for the next week to give the smoke and flavors time to meld.

After this I reset the smoker to do ribs at 225. They'll be done about 4:30.

Looks really fantastic. You should start your next batch in brine because -
just like jerky - it's all gone before you know it!

Especially as I have a line of people forming to try it.

You could send some to me for quality control.

I'll add your name to the list.

The ribs are out of the smoker and resting. As soon as this episode of Master Chef is over, I have to go make BBQ sauce.

The finished ribs...

Basic 3-2-1 smoke. Not much visual smoke ring, but the mesquite smoke is there.

One tip, though. It is a mistake to accidentally snort BBQ sauce while tasting it. Avoid doing that.

Curious what's in your dirty chai rub, care to share the details? Is it chai masala and coffee? Chai masala, coffee and tea? None of the above?

You've also peaked my interest.... always interested in Indo-Pak flavors along these lines...

They look tasty!

Looks excellent!

Um, yeah. I would not want my BBQ sauce in my nose either. :shock::wacko:
