This is deserving its own post. This beauty of a cutting board was made by our very own OverLanderJK.

Nice looking cutting board sir. I have started making them as well. Just something about using stuff you made yourself.

Everytime I see you post those I tell myself I need to go buy a rack and get smoking, as I've never done those before. But here we are again. They look delicious

What kind of time and temperature?

275 for 8ish hours.
Sprayed with apple juice about every hour after the fourth hour. I didn’t check for temp till the 6th hour then started checking every half hour as it was getting close to ~200 but more importantly feeling for that buttery poke.

Pork ribs are trash but I had some in the freezer from the pig order.

Meh. Pork ribs suck.

If you can smoke it, you can eat it! And if you’re worried about freezer burn…… drink more beer! Those look fantastic.

I might have missed it if it was mentioned earlier in the thread but has anyone smoked cheese? I've tasted some fantastic smoked sharp cheddar but I'm not sure how to pull it off in my barrel smoker without just making a mess... or what kind of wood to use. I guess the idea is to keep the heat as low as possible?

You don’t want any heat. You want smoke. Best option is to go with a smoke tube.

OK, thanks! I'll look into that. I was wondering whether people were using conventional smokers but I just couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Scrambled eggs wrapped in ground sausage wrapped in a bacon weave. It was fantastic.

Massive butt. Came out good. I’m not a swine guy but it’s hard to beat pulled pork piled on a kings Hawaiian bun. Or ten
