A quick hello.....
Down here, on the south coast.
Not sure if I've "got the bug" yet, as I'm gonna try making my own chipotle first.
The jalapenos are nice and red, a small Brinkman smoker/grill arrived mid-week, so I'm gonna get it cured etc, as per the instructions today. Then hopefully get some of the chilli smoked tomorrow.
Hopefully, it's a good enough set up to have a go at doing some "long and slow" as well (there's a piece of pork shoulder in the freezer).
Looking forward to having a good read about the best methods etc to achieve a nicely cooked product, rather than the usual British "burned on the outside, raw in the middle" technique, loved by all food poisoning addicts...
