New Years Eve Plans for your Smoker? New Years Day?

[TentHunter]

We're planning on finger foods for our New Years eve celebration.

Tomorrow I plan to cold-smoke some extra sharp cheddar for some Smoky-Beer-cheese-spread. We also plan on smoking some Cheddar-Sausage Balls & slicing some of the Holiday sausage I just finished.

New years day I'll be smoking a picnic ham I have curing in some brine right now, and we'll probably do the traditional roast pork & sauerkraut with the trimmings.

How about Y'all?

I will be cooking a 7.5lb prime rib low and slow tomorrow. Unfortunately it will be my first go at it and I have to work. I will put it on at 9am @ 2:15 and pray it doesn't go off before I can get home. I will program the MAK to turn off at an IT of 125 but I am still rolling the dice.

New years day I am going to smoke bacon for breakfast and follow up in the evening with smoked oysters.

This is going to be fun!

I tried a diffeerent slant on the sausage ballls tonight. Used a sweet basil italian sausage and smoked montery jack cheese. They were very good.

Oh man that does sound good! I love smoky gooey Monterey Jack cheese! I got another variation using cream cheese/cheddar cheese combo too. It looks like it will be a good chance to experiment. Thanks Rick!

Thanks for the heads up on the timing. Schedule change for all and the roast went on @ 2 with grill set at 225. Rubbed with EVOO, Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Rosemary last night. I am cooking over Hickory.

I don't have a recipe so my oysters will go something like this: In a cupcake pan I will place an oyster, fresh spinach leaves, butter with sautéed garlic, bread crumbs and topped with parmesan. I'll wing the temp and time to get it right. I am going to smoke some fresh salmon and make a smoked salmon salad to accompany the oysters.

Happy new year!

Yummmm, I will hop on to all of your houses and celebrate in all time zones! In reality though my smoker will be lonely as I am going to a murder mystery party.

New years Eve

Steaks on the Hasty Bake

Not enough photos on this site lately. So here is a tri tip we did on the weekend
Start with a frozen tri tip on smoke two hours. Then insert meat probe and turn up to 245 until done. We cooked it Trisket style to 165 the wrap in foil with some BBQ sauce and cook until 200. Slice and serve. Scooter Don't look at the photos!
