Yeppers, I guess I do.

Not only is it cute/funny and macabre at the same time, but I bet it tasted wunnerful.

A strong first entry!

Redhot · 11-29-2010, 04:08 PM

Awe...how cute! But for some reason I wasn't expecting the last one - don't know why 'cause I should have. Nice entry!

Little too close to the truth...

Rules for entering are available on the first post of this thread. Just make sure your entry is cooked during the period this contest is open, and the pics are posted within the proper timeline as well.

There are no rules for judging. Voters are free to decide what they think is best on whatever criteria they choose. Typically it is a combination of best sounding dish, best looking dish, and maybe even photo quality, but really having a good dish is the most important probably.

I'm in...
I got a free smoker last week. I had never smoked anything...and can cook a hamburger on my propane grill if I pay attention. I started researching what this was all about and wound up here asking questions. Thanks to the fine answers and resources here and elsewhere on the web I got an idea how this thing was supposed to work.

I started by trying test runs on the smoker trying to figure out how to control the temperature. I burned through 20 pounds of charcoal figuring out how to seal the air leaks and feed the fire over 2 days. I bought a shoulder and split it in half to shorten the cooking time, while I was at it I tried two different rubs, bagged and in the fridge over night.

I smoked it as directed, and basted it with apple juice mixed with homemade apricot jam. After 10 hours in the smoker it went into the oven to finish. The meat turned out perfect with a nice bark and a deep coloring.

Verdict...really good food! Good enough I'll keep at it.

Thanks for the guidance, it would have been a catastrophic failure without the help.
here's a picture

I wasn't thinking about taking a good picture...just documentation.
I made some Carolina vinegar/mustard sauce, it's OK but I like SW style sauces better. Still the flavor could grow on me.
