We're about to redo our small pantry and turn it into a little bigger walk-in pantry. Once done maybe I'll get a slicer since I'll have a bit more storage space. D'oh! Sliced and vac sealed it today without pics. Fried up a couple of slices, though, and it was awesome. Planning to use the end bits this weekend in some spaghetti carbonara with fresh homemade pasta. Will try to remember to get some pics then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what to think about that. Tease us with an on grill picture and then no done and sliced picture? We're going to call an emergency meeting tonight to determine if we need to revoke your BBQ/Grill Master card or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 No pixs usually means it didn't happen. I think we might consider getting Rob to reactivate that chip Dennis puts in every grill and turn his grill into a single burner gas grill. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Do word pictures count? Seriously, I was surprised by how much maple flavor had permeated the meat. I used Chris Lilly's recipe from Fire & Smoke, in which you pour maple syrup over the belly after rubbing in the cure and black pepper. Between that and the hickory smoke, some really great flavor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyfish Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 The first pictures with the steamed bun were great. I made those steamed buns once and they made a perfect little sandwich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo good! Once I get my pantry rebuilt (expanding it into a small walk-in pantry) I'll have room to store a slicer. Then I'll give it a go.
