Smoked Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is the first thing I became really comfortable smoking and being able to achieve a consistent end product. Dare I say perfect? I mean, the recipe is made the way, I really like it so I guess it’s perfect for me. And it’s become pretty popular with whomever, I have made it for…
Spiced Onion Rings
