Yep. Basic & maple. Hickory. I forgot the chile powder to add to the maple,as experiment.
These were some meaty bellies I cut up yesterday.
Make for meaty elk burger, I'll cut the "fat" to 10%. It will make some killer sausage and I happen to have a brand new grinder.

Did 8 jalapenos per 10lbs think I should have added a few more.

Just looked at my notes, quarter cup of each (jalapeño and cheese ) per pound of meat. Note says a little light on the 1/4 cup is better than heavier

All depends on the peppers seems there's no rhyme or reason for me one time you can barely cut em up and my eyes are watering next time you'd swear they were bell peppers.

I'm assembling my smoker today. Fire it up if I can. Bacon in Sun.

 

[hank4elk]

About 3 hrs into my 1st smoke on the Pit Boss. Good color on the slabs so far.
Have burger thawing for hickory bacon burgers later. Gotta try the reverse sear.

 

[hank4elk]

6 hrs a bit too much temp wise. But damn,it's good bacon.
Burgers, beans & bacon. Rio approved.

Take any pics?

Smoked up 30 lbs of pork shoulder yesterday. One made it to our friends for SB, the other 3 are pulled and ready to be frozen for easy dinners.

Came out well, but my bark is pretty hard. I think I put them on the smoke too cold (in the middle) so it took longer to get to 170 and wrap.

Lessened learned.
