What can I say? Looks awesome as always. What was the marinade for the flank steak?

I'm on a roll lately! Bought some pork belly and it's in the fridge curing now... BACON!



It came with the skin on. The lady asked if I wanted the skin off and I said yes, and then remembered to ask her to not throw it out. So now I also have... HOMEMADE PORK RINDS.



Ancho and Lime flavor :-)

In other news... I almost wept yesterday. On my way to the hardware store to pick up a few 'necessities' I saw a new shop across the street. "Barbecue & Co." "What could this be, another crappy weber outlet?" I asked myself. But no! No! They have DRUM SMOKERS. They have enormous bags of LUMP charcoal, they have seven different kinds of smoking wood! They have 30 different American-made bbq and hot sauces, and they even have Napa valley wine! It's heaven. Really. I mean... I tried to explain the feeling of joy that I had in finding this shop to my wife and I think she got the idea. But it wasn't just the shop, the guys working the counter were really great, and asked for my details so they could get in touch with me about perhaps organizing a homebrew section for their shop.

So cool. http://www.barbecue-co.com/

I bought a cure mix (bay, salt, sugar, e250, e251, other spices) from an online store in the UK. Basic treatment is: dredge in cure, vacuum seal, put in fridge for ~1 week until firm, smoke with apple wood chips at 180f until internal temp reaches 150, remove, slice, vacuum seal and freeze. That's the plan anyway, never done this before.

You guys'll love this:

Homemade chicken plucker

schrader valves with the stems removed...

That's what we use on the farm.  Works like a charm.  It gets passed around from farmer to farmer for use.  Everyone pitches in to keep it fixed up and in good shape.

Didn't get around to smoking this weekend after all...  good lookin stuff guys!

I threw together a marinade out of what i had around last Thursday.  Basically .5 cup of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, a few shakes of black pepper, the leaves of 6 or 7 pieces of fresh parsley and couple of glugs of sesame oil.  There may have been some red pepper but I wasn't really keeping track because I was in a hurry.

I put it in a bag with 3.5lbs of fresh salmon for 24 (or so) hours and then hot smoked with mesquite chips until the fish was flaky (I turned after about 10 minutes and then cooked for about 10 minutes longer).  All indirect heat.

It was amazing the difference the smoke made.  Wow!!!  I wouldn't have tried something like that without all the examples form you guys over the years.

Thanks!

No pictures to post.  My 4 hungry kids and my wife wiped out all the vittles pretty quick.

Bah, I just heard back from Weber on a replacement lid for a 22.5" - they want $50-$60 including shipping, when the whole grill is only $100 locally.  Hard to decide - do I get the whole thing and have another grill, or do I just buy the lid?

In the meantime I'm trying to find a used one that is in decent shape.  I want it for my UDS, so I can do two layers of salmon at once.  I might be able to smoke 3 salmon at once that way, more than 2 for sure.  The problem I'm having with the salmon is that I smoke at such a low temp (starts at 120F) that I get condensation on the lid that drips back onto the food and doesn't look or taste that great.
