leejp Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 We have a TON of apples left from apple picking a couple of weeks back... They are getting soft and in another week will practically be cider. Now... I'm looking at the bushel of apples and I'm looking at my cooker and thinking.... What if I placed these apples in with the lump/smoke wood? They would cook/steam and eventually smoke. Would it add any/different flavor to the meat? Hmmmm.....

Firemonkey Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 sounds like a trial run is in order! I suspect that you would get more of a steam, with the smell of burnt sugar than smoke, but give it a shot, You might be onto something. I always wonder how many plants our ancestors had to smoke before they found a few that they liked. If you cant cook with them, then you can use the KK to make a pot of apple butter. Just thinking about the smell of apple butter cooking over a wood fire has me hungry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemonkey Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think I have a good one, that I got from some of my Eastern TN kin-folk. I will see if I can find it and post it when i get home this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I am guess it might be kinda nasty burning fructose on the fire, kinda like the nasty stuff left on a heat deflector - not the kinda smoke you want. Now if you dehydrated them, it could be worth trying. My suggestion is to make hard cider out of them!! -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think put an iron kettle on the K, and make apple sauce or apple butter on the grill. Or else lpie crust the cored apples, and make dumplings on a pizza stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
