What's on the smoker today?

[avidcork]

The last of my cow bison ribs and some pork ribs. Started with some pecan wood sea salt and will finish it up tomorrow.
Pecan and post oak wood mix for the ribs. Chupacabra 2 Gringos rub on the bison and Head Country Sweet and Spicy on the pork.
Anyone else fire up the smoker today?

I just did a couple racks of Pork ribs and a nice beef chuck steak using Hickory! It sure turned out nice. I did a large turkey for Thanksgiving and a nice ham and a whole chicken before that. Used Apple wood on the turkey and the chicken and a combination of apple and alder wood on the ham. All were very good. I just purchased the 40" Masterbuilt electric smoker that Cabela's sells and could not be happier with it. Works outstanding! I can't wait to make up some jerky.

Any ideas of needing to brine a duck for the smoker?

I guess take a raw one and put it on the smoker???? . I’m thinking you found the wrong thread. Or forum?? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Or the pit boss. Haha

Don't is my first suggestion. First question is what species of duck? If there must be a brine I'd have some apple cider vinegar herbs of your choosing and a touch of brown sugar.

Consider checking Hank Shaws tea smoked duck recipe.

I have not done a duck on the smoker yet. I imagine it would be excellent and I don't know if you really need a brine. I just did a wild turkey I killed on the smoker. I breasted him out and put the breasts in water and sea salt and added some really good maple syrup with it. I put it in the fridge for 24 hours before I smoked it. After I took it out of the water I patted it dry and then set it on a meat rack to air dry a bit. Before smoking I rubbed the breasts with some Virgin olive oil and on the smoker they went. This might work great for duck as well!

Finally found a good brisket to cook. It’s been months of looking to find one that is not all fat and 1/2” meat. I bet I’ve looked at over 100 to find one worth buying.

Looks great! Another week up here in tropical north dakota before I get our pool running. But that doesn't stop the grill...griddle..and pellet smoker!!! Tomorrow it's Cornish game hens in the smoker. Finished with Thai chili sauce at the end on high heat. Good vittles.

Looks great. I noticed that strategically place pie in the photo. Any Tillamook to go with that?
