Nope, not about the Politics.
No this is more immediate and more important to me. I'm sitting here smelling a 5 1/2 pound Picnic Roast as it slowly finishes cooking in the smoker.
It's travels started yesterday when I bought it. Then when it was brough home it was rubbed with freshly minced Garlic, Freshly minced Onion, crushed Ancho Chili's and crushed Chipotle Chili's. It was then stuffed gently into a large bag and vacuum packed before being put in the fridge overnight.
This morning I fired up the smoker and brought the temp's up to 200°F. When it reached that temp the roast was pulled from the bag and placed gently and lovingly into the smoker.
It has sat there for most of the day. The only times the door has been opened have been when I replaced the woodchips.
When it reached 190°F internal temp. it was pulled from the smoker. It is now sitting on the stove for the next ten minutes to settle.
For those of you who haven't figured it out I have been making Pulled Pork.
My next step will be to gently and lovingly pull it apart with a couple of forks.
It will of course be served on nice white bread rolls, with the BBQ Sauce on the side.
Naturaly there will be plenty left over, but that's what freezers are for.
Now I just have to wait for it to sit. (Yes I am drooling.)
