My dad's birthday is this weekend, so they came up to visit and we crammed about as much as we could into yesterday.
Started out at 5:00AM by loading up and heading to the lake with my two oldest. Had a great time - nothing like limiting out on a sunny day at 10,500 feet with Grandpa.
Then it was a drive by at Sam's for some BB's - what a fricking zoo! Brought'em home, rubbed, and kissed with hickory at 235 for 4 hours. Used a pritz of home canned concord grape juice and E&J Brandy....woo damn! Haven't bought BB's in I can't remember how long...damn they were good.
The kids pulled a mellon, chilled it, and we chopped'er open - it was perfect.
Had that along with some grilled corn the folks brought up.
One hell of a B-Day dinner if you ask me!
Wrapped the day up by sending home the o'l man a load of fresh smoked trout. I think I've nailed the brine...third times a charm I guess
1.5 C water
1/8 C kosher salt
1/4 t cure #1
3 T brown sugar
3 T soy sauce
good shake of ancho garlic salt
Brined for 3 hours, lightly rinsed, smoked at 150 for an hour then 180 for an hour using maple.
Thanks for coming along with us!
