I tried a fun experiment with the kids tonight. I smoked 3lbs of breakfast sausage with a chunk of oak.
A - Jake's Country Store spicy sausage with Owens BBQ Buffalo Wing Rub.
B- Jake's Country Store mild sausage with Oak Ridge Secret Weapon.
C. Grain fed show pig from last years Indiana State Fair with Lawry's Total Seasoning.
*Notes - This is locally sourced pork. Jake's is a mom and pop store in Bardstown Ky. My friends wife raises show pigs.
Score 1-5 (1-bad/2-not good/3-average/4-good/5-excellent)
Son - A4..B5..C3
Daughter - A5..B4..C4
Me - A3, B5, C5
Total A12, B14, C12.
The Winner - Jakes Country Store mild sausage with Oak Ridge Secret Weapon. The flavor stood out.
I must say though the show pig was very good imo. Grain fed pig with no preservatives. It had a slight but not overpowering game taste to it which I really like. As fresh as it gets.
