Intrigue me. What is the most unique meat you've smoked? the most unusual wood? strangest rub? weirdest combo or recipe? that turned out good. I want to push the envelope, but i need a great idea.
I know folks that smoke coarse sea salt, but haven't talked to anybody about kosher salt. I would thing it would do well, also! The guy I know smokes sea salt at 200 - no need to cold smoke (it won't melt). He puts it in a coffee filter. I haven't tried it yet, but would like to!
Look under the fish section. I have a fully documented lobster smoke. I have done them 3 times & it will definitely be done a few times yearly @ my house.
Most people think of meat when they hear, "smoked". This year, for me, has been a lot of venturing into side dishes. I'm going to do a smoked mashed potato casserole with onions, bacon and cheese for a Christmas party this week.
Something I never would have normally done- my grocery store had Italian turkey sausage links, the size of large hot dogs, that were marked down from $4.99 to .99 because they expired that day. I smoked them in apple and they were great.
You cant beat the deals at the store if you are there at right time. I've done this 3 or 4 times and they turn out much different than on a grill. Better.
