First is a pic of the pastrami I made using the AR wet cure then desalinate method...I agree with many others that've said the pastrami is the best recipe on the site. So good.
In other news I took a bit of a break from concentrating on cooking/bbq so I can double my efforts to get into a bit of woodworking. That said I started small with a cutting board. I have a ton to learn but I learned a great deal in building this. From milling lumber to gluing and the importance of grains etc. Unfortunately I've definitely entered into a new real of MCS. Wish me luck!

JakeT Both your pastrami and your cutting board look great! The pastrami is so moist. Did you use a Sous Vide/BBQ method, or straight up smoking then steaming?
Thanks,
Daniel

Dr. Pepper I smoked to 150* IT then steamed until it was probe tender. It was definitely juicy and very bendy!

Haven’t been cooking too much lately it seems, but got back at it with some French apple Brie burgers. Unsure who/where I stole the ingredient list from, but when I served it up my wife dove in and stopped when I sat down, slowly looked up from a huge bite, and said "this is what we are serving to our guests from now on" ain’t she sweet!?
fried apples, caramelized onions w/balsamic, Brie, bacon, on a toasted brioche bun. Served with some crispy (too black according to the Mrs.) zucchini and corn (not pictured).
these were sweet and savory and meaty and all around tasty.

I did some back bacon along with my normal streaky bacon (apologies for the British terms, I am hoping you understand from the pictures.
).
I used Supacure and added some brown sugar and mixed spices. Let it cure for about 10 days (I know the Pork Belly was probably done earlier, but I wasn't about to smoke it separately.) and then Hot Smoke it (using oak and hickory) at 225-250 for about 2-3 hours (internal temp 150).
I could probably have done twice as many...
Beautiful colour.
This is the Back Bacon, is it Canadian Bacon you call it across the pond?
Cast iron loves Bacon. Obviously I save the fat for cooking later.
I usually cold smoke my bacon (yes I know it is not a topic for this forum and I am not asking about it, and I certainly don't do it when it is too hot outside) and vacuum packed it lasts absolutely ages in the fridge. Does anyone know how long Hot Smoked bacon (sliced and vacuum packed) lasts in the fridge? Thank you.
On a final note, hot smoking bacon means it is fully cooked and can be eaten without frying it, right? I am still trying to get my head around that, but it is so funny to freak my friends out. lol

smokin fool, Thank you for clearing that up. I keep hearing Canadian Bacon in TV shows from the US and I have never known what it is. Much appreciated.
But then the question becomes, what do you call the Back Bacon over there?
-
Tomaron - contrary to popular opinion, there quite frequently is no real "over there". While a lot of the world thinks that the US and Canada are interchangeable, we really, for the most part, are not. For instance, in Canada, it isn't Canadian bacon, it is either back bacon, or pea meal bacon. Follow me for more amazing North American cultural insights. :-)

I know what you mean about there not being an "over there" and to be honest, I was actually looking for a Canadian and an American answer.
As a Swede who used to play Ice Hockey I know you are very much not interchangeable!! lol
We have the same thing with Danish Bacon over here, in Denmark it is called something else. Best example are the Danish Pastries here in the UK. In Denmark they are not called that and, weirdly enough, they are called Wienerbröd (literally Bread from Vienna) in Sweden

Red beans and rice for dinner tonight. Used up some leftover pulled pork from Memorial Day pot luck instead of Tasso ham. Used Domingo Rojo beans from Rancho Gordo. Used homemade turkey stock cause that’s what I had and a few bones from the pork shoulder. Soak, rapid boil then simmer, simmer, simmer. Chop, sprinkle, sauté, and simmer some more, cook rice. Plate! Eat!

Try this red beans and rice recipe sometime (if you have and Instant Pot), just for kicks. You may like it:
Instant Pot Red Beans and Rice is an authentic New Orleans recipe that's made with andouille sausage and leftover ham bone or ham hock. This pressure cooker recipe is simple yet so flavorful! Perfect for feeding a crowd, Instant Pot Red Beans and Rice tastes as though you've simmered it for hours on the stovetop, and is even better the next day. Instructions included for quick soak dried beans.
