Jonathon They don’t have a scale but the head guide estimated a live weight of 350 lbs. I can tell you it was all 2 men and a college baseball player could do to get it in a pick-up!

Wild Boar Canadian Bacon -
Wild Boar Canadian BaconJonathon Actually, the next batch I am going to do I will use the 5 Pepper Seasoning, but scrape off most of it after smoking. For my family, this gave a great flavor we really liked. It is rather amazing to me how much the pepper flavors penetrated the meat and how much flavor is still there when you remove the big flakes. The Apple pork butt seasoning was also very good. Family has requested half and half for the next run (this coming weekend).

Wild Boar Canadian BaconJonathon This one was taken at Ted Nugent’s place in Jackson Michigan. Fun off season hunt!

Wild Boar Canadian BaconI made a test batch of Canadian Bacon following Jonathon’s video the last couple days…man it came out good! I made one piece using the 5 pepper blend Jonathon recommended and the other using the Apple pork butt seasoning. Both good but man that 5 pepper has some kick for my taste buds!

Pa's Black BullCabelas90 I have not used on poultry (yet) but have been very successful on ribs, brisket, and venison using the ratio shown on the bag, then putting everything in a vacuum bag. I let the vacuum pull until the liquid gets close to the seal bar then hitting the instant seal button. Once it’s sealed up I roll it around to get the marinade all over the meat. When I remember, I also flip the bag in the fridge to re-distribute the marinade.

Drink of Choice
Tried this last night on a friend’s recommendation. Not bad, very mild flavor in my opinion. Easy drinking on the rocks. -
Making bratstwilliams The apple is now our favorite in my house. Haven’t made any with cheddar yet but will soon. Let me know how they taste.

EasterI have a brisket thawed for Easter. Will be the first one I’ve done in the PK100.

PK100 door seal lubeI see in the directions as well as guys on here using mineral oil on the door seals of the PK100. I been doing this too. Yesterday I was running behind getting a roast in the smoker and just used the same spray on olive oil I coat the smoker racks with on the door seal too. very quick and easy and seemed to work great (no sticking of the door). This seems like a an easy simple alternative to mineral oil.
Does anyone know of a down side to spray on olive oil over mineral oil?

Sausage Stuffers39Buick I have stuffed 16mm cases on my 11 lb several times. While I would not call it effortless, it is certainly manageable, especially since I screwed the press to a piece of plywood to make it easy to clamp down to the work table.

Making bratsJonathon That’s the beauty of all the flavor choices Walton’s offers, something to suit everyone. I made 4 lbs each of apple, buffalo wing, and garlic with the intention of narrowing it down to one or two before making a bigger batch. I can’t really cut one out, I like them all!

Making bratsTried the Garlic Parmesan yesterday, they were very good as well.

What did everyone cook today?Jonathon Little if any but nobody seemed to care! They were the best I’ve ever made.
-
What did everyone cook today?Did ribs again today, came out quite good if I may say so myself. Marinated in Pa’s Black Bull, then into the PK100 for 3.5 hours. Wrapped in foil with butter and brown sugar in the oven for 2 hours, then just a few minutes on the grill to crisp up.

Making bratsParksider Have not tried the ghost pepper, certain it’s too hot for my tastes! I have mozzarella on my next order list.
-
Making bratsPapaSop I was kinda thinking the same thing on the mozzarella. I agree on trying new flavors straight to begin with, I only make 4 lbs of each this go around. Have Garlic Parm thawed to try tomorrow.
-
Making bratsPapaSop Jonathon suggested cheddar cheese with the apple and may try it next time. Was wondering what cheese to potentially add to Buffalo Wing…not sure.
-
Making bratsPapaSop Dont judge the apple till you try it. I was pleasantly surprised. Like I said though, the Buffalo Wing is incredible in my opinion.
