Looks like bacon in the making

I just fired up the Copperhead to make some Char Siu. It's a test run for my raman addiction.

I got the idea from what is called thermal mass.
This is one of the reason cheaper offset BBQ pits like mine are so hard to operate and cook on.
That and size.
Some are even cheaper.

Actually, the heat sink idea is a great idea. It gives you a lot of flexibility in how you cook for an extended period and allows you to better utilize the energy from the fuel you use to generate heat.


You may have no interest, but I follow a lot of forums on tapatalk. I found the following post interesting for both what was cooked and how it was cooked.

I think I have accidentally been to that site a few times.
Here is the bacon.
It took several days of not smoking meat for me to enjoy the flavor.
Cut some up in big cubes last night and deep fried it then ate it with crispy hash browns.
It sure was good.

Thanks everyone.
The cure is a little on the lite side but it works and the pan isn't covered in salt after cooking.

Later today I will post what is my idea of the ultimate BLT from this heavenly stuff.
It wont be like any BLT ever seen before here on this forum.
Fit for King Henry VIII himself.

BLT made from deep fried bacon chunks in a submarine roll with extra Dukes mayonnaise.
It had to be wrapped in a paper towel like a mummy so I could eat it.
This by far was the best BLT I have ever had in my life., it really was.
The salty smoke flavor that came through was unbelievable.

That looks like a good breakfast!! The only thing I would change is the mayo, I gotta have Blue Plate.

Progress so far.
My mouth is on fire from making and testing the beak of the rooster.
Habanero jalapeno tomato onion.
Added leftover black pepper salt and cumin from meat rub and lime juice on everything.

Who would have thought.
Nothing I hate worse than tough fajitas with the meat pulling out.
Off to the Steam Punk pressure cooker.
Gonna see what happens at 10 psi for 25 minutes.
