Worked from home today to do a little side project! Needed to get these done as they've been in my freezer for a while and I will use at least some for deer camp cooking. Wasn't sure what to expect but I think it's safe to say they turned out! Not gonna lie, I'm just gonna eat at least one of these plain. When I opened the smoker, the sugar in the brine combined with the drippings to form some "fat-cicles" hanging off the smoker racks - it cooked and solidified as it dripped into a gooey, crispy goodness, so that was a treat when taking them off. The German Gumbo and some Ham/Bean soup are in my future!
I used RH's method, if anyone's curious. Thanks RH for granting us rank amateurs access to your amazing knowledge through your page!
