What's on the smoker today?

Well all this talk got me wanting to smoke something. Honey mustard binder and a quick homemade rub at 3pm today. Let it sit all afternoon and evening and put it on at 11pm after fireworks. 200 degrees fat cap down. Blend of cherry and hickory pellets.

Having it for dinner tomorrow but I like a long 2-4 hour rest in a dry cooler so should work out.

Also have some coho and sablefish filets in a dry cure that I plan to smoke tomorrow afternoon.

And a wild turkey breast that’s getting a 24 hour cure vac sealed in salt and honey. I’ll smoke it with the fish while the butt rests.

What was your recipe?

We make a version that’s a blend of a few recipes. We call it Swine Wine

1c Vinegar (I like half apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar)
1/4c ketchup
1/4c apple juice
1tbl mustard
1-3teas hot sauce
2-4tbl sweetener (I like brown sugar)
1tbl your favorite rub
1/2teas salt (unless your rub is mostly salt)

Adjust the seasonings how you like. Sometimes I like extra black pepper in it. My wife prefers sweeter and I like spicier so I might make two batches.
