Whole herb crusted elk sirloin, as well as all the shanks. Shanks will be lightly smoke, then used later in osso bucco, sirloin will get to 135 and get sliced thin, then sandwiches, crackers, cheese etc for christmas eve

....can't see chit captain....but it sounds delicious.
 
Just a couple racks of spare ribs for dinner to try out a new rub I found. I'll throw a couple pictures up once they come off.
 
I did a 10# beef brisket smoked using Hickory for 9 hours a few days ago as we had two couples over for dinner. The next night I smoked up a couple batches of pork ribs and the left-over beef brisket was thrown in the smoker as well wrapped in tinfoil to keep it moist when heating up. Man it tasted good.
 
A little late but I'm going to start brining my turkey around noon today. Then chickens tomorrow afternoon. Making jerky today as well.
 
Made a batch of duck bacon today. It’s really just cured smoked duck breast but we call it duck bacon. Make a brine with roughly 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1 tsp Prague powder, aka pink salt, and a quart of water. These are approximations since I usually don’t measure it. You can use the brine recipe on the Morton tenderquick bag also. Soak a bunch of skin on duck breast filets overnight, rinse free of excess salt and pat dry. Coat one side good with black pepper and smoke for 1.5 hours at 200ish degrees. Serve hot or chill and serve cold, can’t go wrong either way.F7A8997B-750B-48DB-A780-6D1097074C7A.jpeg

I'm gonna have to give this a try!
 
Looks good! Dual probes are the only way to go. Started out with a Polder and killed probes twice. Moved to an Ivation remote and it's been great.
 
The thermpro is really nice. Super easy to use!

The carving set is a Hammer Stahl set from.my sister. Took that bird apart perfectly. Seems like very good steel. so picked up a 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven & a 3.2 quart combo cooker. I'm a blessed guy.
