MacKenzie Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I am ready and waiting for the IT to get to 147F. Done. I used the KK cold smoker for this cook. I can tell you when the fire seems to be dying down in the smoker a very small shot of air from the Milwaukee Compact Blower does wonders to revive it. Most of the smoking wood was whiskey barrel wood and some maple. When things were done I took the top off the cold smoke and in a very short time it went wild, BTW the air pump was still connected. Tomorrow I will slice, package, vacuum seal and freeze. Edited August 11, 2017 by MacKenzie 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Looks amazing, MacKenzie. Got me motivated to thaw out that pork belly in my freezer to start brining, but I'm going out of town for a couple of days, so it'll have to wait until I get back. @Aussie Ora - and Yes, Santa should bring you a cold smoker for your KK.

MacKenzie Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Shuley, between you and me we have most things covered and if we add in CK and his preserves and we are covered. We should be abandoned on a desert island. Edited August 12, 2017 by MacKenzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 My Homebrew Club's annual festival is next Saturday. I have 3 beers to pour - Belgian Trippel, Purple Crack (Blackberry Wheat with Taz Pepperberries), and Chocolate Imperial Stout. There'll be over 130 different beers there. My club alone will bring at least 100. The other 6 Clubs coming will bring lots of tasty beers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I am pretty sure Shuley and i would be very happy with that selection, we'd never get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
