MacKenzie Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 When I was in Halifax the other day I picked up a slice of boneless pork leg. I can't remember the type of pie and how they are raised but needless to say not in a barn with a 1 000 other pigs. I believe these are free range pigs. Anyway the meat looked so good I though I'd try it. Also was given some whiskey barrel wood by a great friend who also has a brewery that makes grand slam beer. Picked up some of that too. Here is my smoking pot with some of the barrel wood in it and the edge is all ready to seal. Sealed and wiped clean. I do not like the smell of burning flour.:( Here are the veggies ready to be lightly covered with foil and put on the grill. Those 3 carrots were right out of the garden, a light scrub, and no need to peal. Pork is on the grill and I have the veggies underneath in cast iron dishes and foil loosely over the top and there is a space between for smoke to pass thru.:) Look at the white fat. So clean looking even though I have spiced up the pork. Grilled starting out at 275F and I let it climb to 300F. Took about an hour to cook. I didn't exactly have my act together so the IT temp was a little higher than I wanted, 147F. The meat was very moist and full of flavour. I neglected to mention that the aroma from the smoking pot was the sweetest I've ever smelled. The carrots were awesome. Plated. The KK is cooled enough to pull out the smoking pot and see what's inside. I did have to pry the lid off so I guess that water/flour seal worked. 5
Stile88 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 Mac that looks so delicious cant beat having it with veggies yum yum
MacKenzie Posted October 1, 2016 Author Report Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks, Stile. The carrots were the star of this show, everything tasted great but the carrots were over the top.
Shuley Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 That looks like a fabulous meal. I think that pork looks just right for my liking on the grill (no pink but still very moist)and those carrots look phenomenal.

dstr8 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Real pork! We're getting back and away, at least on small lot specialty farms, from the detestable "other white meat" of the pork industry machine. As always MacKenzie, very nice post and tasty looking food pics! Edited October 2, 2016 by dstr8

As always MacKenzie, very nice post and tasty looking food pics! Real piggy rocks! As Dan said, "other white meat" - bleech! Best part of living here in Iowa is the great heritage pork that's readily available (OK, sweet corn in summer's not too shabby either!) 1
MacKenzie Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks, guys and yes Tony, fresh corn on the cob is definitely one of life's real joys.
ckreef Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 That is a really great looking piece of pork. Nice cook all around.

tinyfish Posted October 3, 2016 Report Posted October 3, 2016 The carrots the star of the show...I don't know that pork looks very tasty.
MacKenzie Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks, tinyfiah, I really enjoyed those carrots and the rest wasn't too bad either.
