What's cooking today? 🔥 Pics are necessary!

I used my “Molasses brined pork chops “ brine on some pork tenderloins and there was a bit of space left in the brine pot, so I threw in some chicken drumsticks. After 24 hours of brine, I seasoned the tenderloins with MC Honey Hog and the drumsticks with MC Holy Voodoo. I put the chicken on first at 180’ for about 15 minutes and then slowly cranked it up to 350 over about 25 minutes. They finished faster than expected and I put on the tenderloins. About 25-30 minutes at 350’ and cranked it to max for the last 5 minutes. Both were very good. I’ve done this before with the tenderloins but never with chicken. The drumsticks reminded me of the $20 smoked turkey leg at Disneyland. I will probably do it again.

Cooked a pork butt Sunday for July 4th family gathering. Total cook time 11 hours using Meat Church method. Tasted really good when I was pulling it apart Sunday night. The pulled pork is now vacuumed sealed and frozen, ready to reheat in sous vide cooker on 7/4.

Smoked stuffed peppers. I’ll let you know later. 250 for a while. Then bumped it to 325. Just waiting for the 160 or so internal
Looks Amazing!! What's your stuffing? Looks like rice and pork? Please post your recipe! Gotta try that!

Thanks PH, they turned out great. It was 85/15 ground beef, then added two of the small cups of sticky rice. One can of diced tomatoes, drained, a few bread crumbs, and whatever seasoning you like. I’ll double check with my bride and let you know if I’m forgetting anything. I didn’t cook the meat beforehand. Some recommend that, but I just let the Traeger cook it to 160 or so. Smoked it at 225-250 for an hour then cranked it up to 325 to finish off. I didn’t use dairy because we made them for our daughter who just had a precious baby girl. She thought she had a dairy reaction earlier, but turned out false alarm. Who can survive without dairy? Lol. Took about two hours total I think. Beers were helping me out, so the time may be off a tad. Would definitely do them again with a little cheese mixed in. Ps, also added a little marinara sauce and chopped onions. About a quarter cup of marinara.
