First Smoke

[Socrates]

Saturday, I smoked my first shoulder. It turned out great. I'd just like to thank Klink and the rest of the gang for the advice they supplied on this fourm. I'm much too modest to talk about it, so I'll let Xanthippe wax eloquent on the subject.

What a tease on the thread title.

I thought you were going to talk about collie.

[hollywood]

So now you get to decide what you'll smoke next. Brisket? Chicken? Duck? Turkey? More pork? Lamb?

[col klink]

I'm with hollywood. Now that's you've climbed up to shoulder base camp, are you going to take the north brisket ridge, the west poultry face or shoot right to the top of rib peak?

[MatthewB]

Here's Lee Perry's suggestion . . .

I think brisket is next. I'm a red meat man. When it come to poultry I like dark meat, but maybe smoked the white meat would be OK.

Xanthippe might have a say in this.

Do you have any more where you've cut into it?

I like it that you put a beer next to your butt. What kind was it?

[mcdowell]

And what did you do with those anchovies??

[col klink]

Thanks for the pic! That's a damn fine lookin' butt ya got there.

That picture there is why I love the shoulder so much, that marbling is just beautiful. You also have a nice carving knife, they're indispensible for carving roasts. I feel so goofy for using an ordinary chef's knife in the past.

Bass Ale. Life is to short to drink bad beer!

Something I have said to Xanthippe on many many occaisions!

Caesar Salad.
