I love getting results like this while I 🛌💤.

Pork Shoulder smoked overnight with Black Cherry at 210°F until 195° internal. A few spritzes of cider vinegar/water during the first couple of hours of smoking. Rubbed with Memphis Reaper Dust before smoking.

Now wrapped in butcher paper then towels and put inside faux-Cambro to cool before pulling.

Now that's some nice looking bark! 👀🤤

Well, that'll cover a couple of meals

Edit: premature tooting 😄

Really Crispy Skin BBQ Bird Bits

Chicken air brined 24 hours
Sprayed with oil
Tossed in ¼C flour, 1 Tb baking powder(not soda), garam masala, fennel, coriander, garlic, black pepper
High grill 300°F, lid closed
Flip after 15min
Check every 10m and flip/rearrange as req'd
Remove at 160°IT
Toss with Nando's Hot Sauce 🔥😋🤤

Same process works for an air fryer, just no char

Mmm... BBQ spatchcocked chicken!
Always turns out beautifully.
🤤😋

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

Works for me!

Should have toasted some sesame seeds though!!

Bubble, bubble, bubble...

Getting some char on the belly cubes.

Grilled rhubarb 'minced' and added to a pineapple BBQ sauce with the juice of an orange warming up in the background.

Looks like it's going to be pork belly burnt ends 😂

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

Time for a #FAFO cook!

Not sure where I'm going here but so far it looks interesting 😄

Pork Belly cubes tossed in flour/spice mixture and smoked at 225° for an hour. Not sure where the rhubarb is going to fit into this either!

Test run of the revitalized blower fan.

Five Spice-Cayenne Chicken Thighs.

Fan worked perfectly 👍

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

Blatant personal endorsement ahead.

If you are looking to try another lump charcoal, Kamado Joe Big Block is superb stuff. As long as it fits in your smoker 😄 I've actually had to break pieces for the Big Joe which is a huge smoker.

Not premium priced, very large pieces, burns forever, very little wastage per bag.

Only lump I'll buy now. And it's been at least 25 bags.

Some #BBQ spring maintenance. Lubricating the bearings of the smoker controller blower fan. It's hard to find a replacement because of the 90° air flow design unlike a regular pass-through computer fan.

Lubrication method is exactly the same though 😅

Now spinning like a top! Er, fan. 😄

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

And yes!! Recovery effort worked with an excellent result!

This is really darn good!

Thankfully the flavour wasn't taken over by the Carolina Reaper component of the rub.

5 mins later:

Nose is running and eyes are watering. I don't think it's a sudden cold coming on 😂

🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥

It's actually in *much* better shape than I expected. 170°F internal temperature. Meat is still 'jiggly' and you can see the front of the butt where the tongs ripped the bark removing it from the grill.

I may have been able to get away with not wrapping it but decided to go ahead as everything was prepped

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

Well 💩!

There's my regular reminder that pride goes before a fall

Smoker controller blower fan seized up at 2am which effectively turned BBQ off. Pork was just into the stall when it happened. Crap

I usually don't wrap/crutch pulled pork but I'm going to have to do it to add some moisture in the process. Otherwise it's going to be a rock

So. Thinly sliced onion/garlic in some chicken broth. I'll 'boat' this in the foil wrap when it hits the stall again

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

See ya in the morning!

Memphis Reaper Dust Pulled Pork on the menu tomorrow.

🔥🌶️🔥🌶️🔥

#HeaterMeter will keep a stable 225° smoking temp through the cook so I can 💤 in peace overnight.

#CrazyCanuckBBQ

Cast iron addiction intensifies. 🤗

I love this thing!! Can't wait to try it out on the smoker!!

#CrazyCanuckBBQ #CastIron 🔥

Oh my, this is a good batch! Very, very nice blend of spicing from the cure and then the maple, black pepper and smoke. Wow!

And here's the loin bacon. The smell in the kitchen is driving me insane. Time to go shovel the driveway to get away from it 😃

#CrazyCanuckBBQ
🔥🔥🔥

Now that's Bacon!!

The smell is at least half the experience but just 👀 at that! Still slightly floppy so it will slice and fry up beautifully when it cools.

Progressing down smoke road just beautifully...
