NEW WALK-IN SMOKEHOUSE





My dad.....closing in on 80yrs old missed his smoked bacon and sausage too much since selling their acerage and the old smokehouse along with it.

This spring he started construction on a new one and this past weekend I took a trip back home to help him finish it off. All steel construction consisting of steel studs and sheeting. Sheet metal wrapped door and a new wood burner fire box.

Dad can't wait to get his famous bacon cure going again....

TWO CHICKENS.....One Half Empty Coors Lite Can

Okay.....went for the old staple of BBQ today....BEER CAN CHICKEN....plus for comparison one whole chicken on the grill indirect heat.

Long and short.....Beer Can chick was "slightly"....more moist. In the end it was a waste of a beer for me.....next time....I will drink the whole beer and keep with the indirect method for doing chicken.

They were on for about an hour and 20 minutes. Lathered on a mix of Bulls Eye Hickory BBQ Sauce and good ol' Canadian Maple Syrup for the last 15 minutes. Very very good skin. Almost to the fall off the bones state.

Now tomorrow is ribs......
