Poultry Smoking

wvhunter1965 lol fair enough!

So, the verdict from this past weekend is… Delicious! The pork butt and all the chickens turned out amazing on the new pellet grill. I plan to reserve the pellet grill for events and smoking meats the best it will allow me to and continue using my LP grill for normal stuff. Since my dad passed last October, int is only my wife and I now
so our meals are smaller.I made hamburgers tonight and sprinkled them with Pa’s! They were great! Planning on using the remaining Pa’s in two weeks when I am doing a whole brisket for a family/friend gathering! Gonna use the Pa’s on the inside and Malcolm Reeds recommendation for the outside. Will update when it happens to let you all know how it comes out.

TexLaw,
Thanks again, the chickens turned out great as I said above and they were smoked at 275-300 with no cure! Saves a step which I am always willing to take but only if needed.

wvhunter1965 Get a new dog, that’ll take up the time and fill the house out! I’ve got one you (or two) you can have if you want! Pay no attention to the fact that I am trying to get rid of them, they are great dogs, I promise…

wvhunter1965 I’m glad it turned out so well, and I’m always happy to help! The only thing I ask in return is that you tell my wife that I -might- know what I’m talking about (even if that isn’t true).

TexLaw Don’t know how old you are, but I’m 64 and I have learned that i am never right. First thing I teach any young cook that i am training is how to make homemade chocolate truffles. Then teach them to tell their wife or girlfriend “yes dear, I’m sorry and I was wrong. May I bring you some more chocolate please”. works most of the time. LOL

Chef One of the best things for our marriage happened while we were engaged and planning our wedding. We had gone out to one of our favorite places for dinner and drinks and were just sitting at the bar, as we often did. We were discussing some planning point, and I was getting pretty pushy and hornery, and my lovely bride-to-be was getting a little upset with me.
At some point, she excused herself to powder her nose. When she did, a guy that was a few stools down caught my attention, apologized for butting in, and offered me some advice if I was willing to listen. I told him to lay it on me. He raised his open palms up to his shoulders in that “I’m backing off” and said “you need to learn how to do this. You’re not right. You aren’t gonna be right. This is her domain, and you just need to back off. Just do this,” he said, emphasizing his hands again. He was as nice, cool, and sincere as anyone could be. I took his advice to heart, understanding that he meant it to apply to a lot more than the wedding plans.
I apologized to my lovely bride-to-be and started doing a lot of backing off. The man was absolutely correct.
We just celebrated our 25th anniversary. During that time, I’ve passed the same advice along to many a husband, boyfriend, and fiancé. I sure am glad that guy was there, that night, and set me straight!
(That’s not to say that I’ve not had my moments where I needed to show up with chocolates!)

TexLaw That is a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

Chef and TexLaw,
My wife and I have a great understanding and compromise on many things. I did, however, lay down one law before we got married. I made it clear that I was hunting for years before I met her and I would be hunting for years after her so don’t try to keep me from going hunting! To this day, she has never made a comment about when I go hunting and even made sure we were married when no hunting season was in so she didn’t have to worry about me being around for anniversaries.
I certainly can not complain about my wife. She is a good woman, hates diamonds and shopping and doesn’t like to spend money so I set the hook in that one right away!

wvhunter1965 TexLaw Well, as much as I joke around, I, too, am a very blessed man. Messed up once and raised 2 boys a a single dad. Very fortunate to meet the right person. We both support and make each other better. Marriage can be wonderful with the right person! Just made 16 wonderful years.
