And I will eat Tamales. - Davey Crockett<br /><br />Greetings from beyond the internet void that was created in the past months with the lack of El Smokeador Y Smokehopper posts. You have no doubt been trying the various restaurants on the Fort Worth Restaurant List that Smokehopper compiled. Thank you for doing that Smokehopper. Fuzzy's truly is a gem in our small corner of this great state. We have been busy in the lab since the FWRL post coming up with new ideas that will mark 2012 as a banner year for our blog posting, meat smoking, most important, unimportant, little corner of the web community known as the internet. A taste of what we plan to bring you in 2012:<br /><br />1) Chocotaco with brisket as the taco - brisket formed into a taco shell and filled with chocolate.<br />2) The Brisket - a silent brisket that is the best silent brisket since the silent brisket era. Film buffs will like this one.<br />3) Karaoke Brisket featuring a Wolf Parade reunion and BBQ Beans<br />4) Untitled Brisket Music project collaboration with Dan Auerbach and the Ghost of Lightnin' Hopkins<br />5) A how to on microwaving a brisket and ribs. From scratch.<br />6) Another turkey sandwich from Smokehopper.<br /><br />Exciting. On to tamales.<br /><br />Since we are the number 1 internet stop for confectionery BBQ, we have been toying with the idea of a Christmas brisket for some time. Candy canes certainly had to be involved, but ended up playing a minor part in this. Kind of like Tea Leoni in Deep Impact. In this sites opinion, that tidal wave should have ended her storyline in the first 10 minutes. Just a terrible movie.<br /><br />Back on topic. I crushed up a bunch of candy canes with a hammer, rubbed it with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, etc. and the crushed candy canes, smoked it and it was good.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlsMk6esyEwyNyChyphenhyphenDef6XaCQjaEmOEjVp77wj0nU-TqbmRBTIvqu4f7Y1lcZ5SY0LZFqStUka0B2coebBCneRMInl7h5BS-NasErYNuMkc6e0Ra3AI1YklpS_kcOjL-UvMz-axTQu3hI/s1600/IMG_0487.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlsMk6esyEwyNyChyphenhyphenDef6XaCQjaEmOEjVp77wj0nU-TqbmRBTIvqu4f7Y1lcZ5SY0LZFqStUka0B2coebBCneRMInl7h5BS-NasErYNuMkc6e0Ra3AI1YklpS_kcOjL-UvMz-axTQu3hI/s400/IMG_0487.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697304042936869794" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjudLvK94qxRT1hWt9gefg6trf6WUVlU1owGCGYSaJLV-4JNeD3EKqnxn5yJz-le_ZgEtp6firihjQDNRw1HnetRwy6tOGGr1ziLWHTiTg8MIg7PlqrcMo8NHDBh7YWTFfQ9U-JPtmpASE/s1600/IMG_0484.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjudLvK94qxRT1hWt9gefg6trf6WUVlU1owGCGYSaJLV-4JNeD3EKqnxn5yJz-le_ZgEtp6firihjQDNRw1HnetRwy6tOGGr1ziLWHTiTg8MIg7PlqrcMo8NHDBh7YWTFfQ9U-JPtmpASE/s400/IMG_0484.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697304046509939554" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLg3cs0c0YJ8SJgZ_efYgr1wmrI_88wB-pGTXRUQMOTMxbpEiCg-IS-BpuGhLqDrz9PfcFfUw1UBX9ck9iZIcptKj_01lsDOUnWirjVE3If6DJLI9TplBusjeLrhfquoEdbDBkwXpcaEo/s1600/IMG_0489.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLg3cs0c0YJ8SJgZ_efYgr1wmrI_88wB-pGTXRUQMOTMxbpEiCg-IS-BpuGhLqDrz9PfcFfUw1UBX9ck9iZIcptKj_01lsDOUnWirjVE3If6DJLI9TplBusjeLrhfquoEdbDBkwXpcaEo/s400/IMG_0489.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697304057608667746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PgpKf7w9cbQZyGRKrcKabg0yk6jqtcpQElfVj1408_G6DEfvsB5Xs4v6ltKDCyT2_6q08tpE-eG7uPLbSGS5X5o_XCbuH5ME7bvpzvAbXRjjKy-djDf7IbHn7I5OnN8OTGMAo9gE6dQ/s1600/IMG_0491.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PgpKf7w9cbQZyGRKrcKabg0yk6jqtcpQElfVj1408_G6DEfvsB5Xs4v6ltKDCyT2_6q08tpE-eG7uPLbSGS5X5o_XCbuH5ME7bvpzvAbXRjjKy-djDf7IbHn7I5OnN8OTGMAo9gE6dQ/s400/IMG_0491.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697304059816747186" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It is time for a new smoker. The New Braunfels that has treated me so well for the past 3+ years isn't doing it for me anymore. 7lb brisket took almost 14 hours. Also, I need to take better pictures of the sliced brisket. This looks rubbery and tough, but that was not the case. The candy cane added no flavor to the meat. I was disappointed after the success of the <a href="http://elsmokeadorysmokehopper.blogspot.com/2009/07/butterfinger-brisket.html">butterfinger brisket</a>, but I guess that was to be expected. Long story short, after making a sandwich I still had half of brisket leftover. Luckily, I saved the drippings from the smoking process and had stowed them in the freezer. Couple of days later LSmoke and I conversed and decided that brisket tamales are not featured very often and it needed to be done.<br /><br />We started by soaking the husks for 45 minutes in warm water. No pictures of this. Put the husks in a pot and turn on the water from the sink. Add it to the pot. Let them soak.<br /><br />Chopped up the rest of the brisket. This is only some of it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZfDQZuoSCdc0GFsFSh9Kf1TfDr6xuW2jkFYDJaZA0XtVqVHPNUBXk1PBQNDijB1XYjKseqg3xB5jEfeVRpmnzlLmLFW6Fvj18Fm8eSoXvUhXLmv-EkSqnLyywiLE2xh5P2bpnu-BQ5o/s1600/IMG_0499.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZfDQZuoSCdc0GFsFSh9Kf1TfDr6xuW2jkFYDJaZA0XtVqVHPNUBXk1PBQNDijB1XYjKseqg3xB5jEfeVRpmnzlLmLFW6Fvj18Fm8eSoXvUhXLmv-EkSqnLyywiLE2xh5P2bpnu-BQ5o/s400/IMG_0499.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697305900687785362" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Took the layer of lard off the top of the frozen drippings and put the drippings in a pan and heated it up.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSXeOPSvdTDGokdMxFiSW6G6WosvGEcvBsyex_DE_62G-PL7RxK4hswADUyV158u2ma8i8i3MyePtzaIMYP1uwyH9daLmzYZKu39d8Xd93zFHBJ7P7mCqTxK1hryh0HDS5i_lPVMMHq6g/s1600/IMG_0500.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSXeOPSvdTDGokdMxFiSW6G6WosvGEcvBsyex_DE_62G-PL7RxK4hswADUyV158u2ma8i8i3MyePtzaIMYP1uwyH9daLmzYZKu39d8Xd93zFHBJ7P7mCqTxK1hryh0HDS5i_lPVMMHq6g/s400/IMG_0500.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697305901958803330" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Added the chopped brisket and a beer to the drippings.

Then add a scoop of the meat and roll it up.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBs0e9sRYEwdJhczQfvme1QQReq-t_W_AC_mA-9AlxPoR67M7EROKX6HYwvBSv2GRdWP4mzbfwvWCiQ9xlsNLcvEG_S3GufJTPxXTi-4S6Z1MYth2uf8tsuX1BGTe8RwwBWtdgWxvhuf4/s1600/IMG_0513.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBs0e9sRYEwdJhczQfvme1QQReq-t_W_AC_mA-9AlxPoR67M7EROKX6HYwvBSv2GRdWP4mzbfwvWCiQ9xlsNLcvEG_S3GufJTPxXTi-4S6Z1MYth2uf8tsuX1BGTe8RwwBWtdgWxvhuf4/s400/IMG_0513.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697308867809707826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pack them into a steamer.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVJyHqOaqOA_IB8MRfeMfyC-NmF2_IEhBCa0fVvBloZCo6jBtkETReKPTzHALE6-v-TTd_j3j2IcOYkjqAV_XXZQNRYll1RvO6xjFrCEa_Sc_48Fa7wtMQGeEx_EFKiHViTLobmmdbMU/s1600/IMG_0514.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVJyHqOaqOA_IB8MRfeMfyC-NmF2_IEhBCa0fVvBloZCo6jBtkETReKPTzHALE6-v-TTd_j3j2IcOYkjqAV_XXZQNRYll1RvO6xjFrCEa_Sc_48Fa7wtMQGeEx_EFKiHViTLobmmdbMU/s400/IMG_0514.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697308868872245426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And let it sit for about an hour.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYs-bq8uwxsWLar1RMhRo-e3pcGU5ZNMZK5-hwkrzdZ8Q6S0Ft7IZoVMheaC8Hh3EO9zqTs57Wwex0S00_HuHc2y4bjCJo6F4IyQ1nnC0ODtfSjS3GiI-19jkPS1cY4TdeFQajSkoNFNM/s1600/IMG_0515.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYs-bq8uwxsWLar1RMhRo-e3pcGU5ZNMZK5-hwkrzdZ8Q6S0Ft7IZoVMheaC8Hh3EO9zqTs57Wwex0S00_HuHc2y4bjCJo6F4IyQ1nnC0ODtfSjS3GiI-19jkPS1cY4TdeFQajSkoNFNM/s400/IMG_0515.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697308879114370754" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Celebrate like you're at a dirt bike rally at the AAC when they are done.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fetxmr6IoJbntIne7Eca49E6DWPjPMobOXZv1hxAI96bFntHhpdJE8pBh7C7Eyl4op1ppznDmTOzYj7kQaD49V7RfSrxPj6q30ptPADxHQUjfnRoivZnCrQSR0kJTaw43f4v48gOsLc/s1600/IMG_0137_2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fetxmr6IoJbntIne7Eca49E6DWPjPMobOXZv1hxAI96bFntHhpdJE8pBh7C7Eyl4op1ppznDmTOzYj7kQaD49V7RfSrxPj6q30ptPADxHQUjfnRoivZnCrQSR0kJTaw43f4v48gOsLc/s400/IMG_0137_2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697309769951262098" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finished product.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmT8RAeHptEDgN5YupDAQwQN_teNFUJx5yVtIYt4Xh3NfjCNm4DhxgrFQXKUKHxj2BP_01rHT7-vzmHDmTQtdkzubwxPEuxGhdCKEKFCsiKQnpbKQoNvmXRk8tX4CkVWLlNIN-XiY-rFk/s1600/IMG_0516.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmT8RAeHptEDgN5YupDAQwQN_teNFUJx5yVtIYt4Xh3NfjCNm4DhxgrFQXKUKHxj2BP_01rHT7-vzmHDmTQtdkzubwxPEuxGhdCKEKFCsiKQnpbKQoNvmXRk8tX4CkVWLlNIN-XiY-rFk/s400/IMG_0516.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697318667170795250" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbU3HVYLbLuqa2-ajngI-GDyeZB2aiUrplCyRODJSlS7eQPJds0rwkTZZBXy7XMipbktdz0mC6PN44yQK3RloSw6aG7UdHZZFvT6AcEY3FDGv51OmaPYy8ybjHnL7nSqLqearrzJSu5E/s1600/IMG_0517.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbU3HVYLbLuqa2-ajngI-GDyeZB2aiUrplCyRODJSlS7eQPJds0rwkTZZBXy7XMipbktdz0mC6PN44yQK3RloSw6aG7UdHZZFvT6AcEY3FDGv51OmaPYy8ybjHnL7nSqLqearrzJSu5E/s400/IMG_0517.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697308881613616530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />You can see the brisket in there. I am not the best at plating. We had an idea of making a white queso and an ridiculously red salsa to make a candy cane looking bed of stuff on a plate to put the tamales on. But I was hungry and didn't. Next time maybe, but probably not. Tamales all look the same from the outside anyway, right? Reconstituting the brisket in the drippings and using the strained juice in the masa added so much flavor that it was really like eating a tamale filled with brisket. I don't know how else to describe it. Delicious? Smokey? Candy caney? Yes, yes, no.<br /><br />We also made tamales with rib meat.

We were all tired of not having an adequate Fort Worth restaurant list...SO I BUILT ONE.<br /><br />The criteria for the list is as follows<br /><br />1) The restaurant cannot be a "chain restaurant". (Although there are exceptions)<br /><br />2) The restaurant must be inside the 820 loop. (Although there are exceptions)<br /><br /><br /><br />Here it is. Please let me know of any restaurants that I missed. This list is ever changing and I need everyone's help to keep it current, and accurate. As suggestions are made, I will update the list under this post heading. Please use it!!!!!<br /><br />Also, there is no ranking going on here. It will be up to you to determine if these places are worth going to.<div><br /></div><div><b>Updated: 9/12/11</b><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";

The BBQ sauce we made was <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Kansas City</st1:place></st1:city> style. Which means a thicker sauce with more sugar than acid. In my opinion all BBQ sauce has essentially the same four ingredients, with different flavorings. There always seems to be sugar, vinegar, tomato base and water. Vary their proportions and you get different styles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This could be totally false though. Anyway, here is a picture of the BBQ sauce and a little bit about how we made it.<br /><div><br />Ok, we started by heating up some beef fat that had solidified on top of the refrigerated brisket juices. (When you smoke a brisket and you wrap it in foil for a few hours, a whole lot of juice and fat seeps to the bottom of the foil. If you save this liquid, the fat will rise to the top and solidify in the fridge. Remove the fat and use it as you would any other fat. The reaming juices are chalk full of smokey flavor and gelatin. Culinary gold!) If you think it looks gross its because....it looks kinda gross.

A somewhat ravished and raucous crew of lakegoers ventured to Maudies for some post lake drinks and a hearty meal. Good times led to good drinks which led to a yearning, nay a hankering, for a grilled cheese by a younger El Smokeador. Originally met with quite a bit of "we can't do that" and "tell me again" my hunger (and quite a bit of the El Smokeador Y Smokehopper trademarked unadulterated gumption) prevailed and the waiter/cook finally agreed to make me a grilled cheese with fajita meats on the inside.<br /><br />I have tried to make this for the blog twice in the past 3 years to no avail. Turns out as El Smokeador gets older the ratio of good drinks to <a href="http://elsmokeadorysmokehopper.blogspot.com/2009/03/oh-no.html">bad pictures</a> has a direct relationship in which the correlation grows closer and closer to 1 as amounts of both variables in the test are increased. Never thought the MBA would make an appearance on the ol' blog. Statistics!!<br /><br />It should be noted that I cooked all of this on the stove top in the house I am currently leasing. Gas grill with a cast iron skillet. Here are the spices I used for the chicken. I am not going to go into great detail on certain amounts of what that I used because everyone likes it different, but lets say it was two tablespoons of olive oil and about a teaspoon of the rest of what you see in the picture. NOT THE METAMUCIL AND OATMEAL. THOSE ARE FOR A FORTHCOMING BRISKET. But the salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder and olive oil were all used.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MW91OOI2UaLMQNJCoYXV933zNBx_oqzXU2aYOkvHXRSlpJSMzgUFn62RuaAHS7bi3hvJn6EsBrS8kxK1vk9aVQKis2YjrqdkiAvDxckYiEFd5sHvBBjLEuV0kwY6rB5gRmm5CGLPCsk/s1600/IMG_2486.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5MW91OOI2UaLMQNJCoYXV933zNBx_oqzXU2aYOkvHXRSlpJSMzgUFn62RuaAHS7bi3hvJn6EsBrS8kxK1vk9aVQKis2YjrqdkiAvDxckYiEFd5sHvBBjLEuV0kwY6rB5gRmm5CGLPCsk/s400/IMG_2486.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581905119550257650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Bought three chicken breasts from the store.

Once everything was sliced in the most meticulous manner and the skillet was hot, I dumped the whole bag of chicken on (no oil as there was already oil in the marinade) and let it brown until the juice had simmered off. This is what we in the business of food call the wise mans gambit meaning its always better to have a little bit dried out chicken than the alternative of undercooked chicken. A wise man told me that once as I was huddled over a trash can nevermind. A little stream of consciousness folks.

That said, there is some cheese at the store that I have been enjoying, I think its New York Cream and Habanero Pepper-jack. I used two slices here. Could have used more to get a really cheesy sandwich, but I had a turkey sandwich for lunch and there is such a thing as too much cheese in one day.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZomsT8WxlfMITkCMlSjL6Rpm3XsE0W_OydaPjqaeGPCCAjvgG5kqgtTpXEkRv71A8juXEm4D_kJQOiGPLYH-IrvHZy11hwqnW6zVY50aCQOjub_CM7coFQpG31S_dwmT5T-4Y8ElAio/s1600/IMG_2507.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZomsT8WxlfMITkCMlSjL6Rpm3XsE0W_OydaPjqaeGPCCAjvgG5kqgtTpXEkRv71A8juXEm4D_kJQOiGPLYH-IrvHZy11hwqnW6zVY50aCQOjub_CM7coFQpG31S_dwmT5T-4Y8ElAio/s400/IMG_2507.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581911113980512930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Added the peppers and chicken to both sides of the bread and combined them into a singular being. Put the whole thing on a new non stick skillet and let it cook for about 2.5 minutes per side. You can do it longer if you want to burn your sandwich but I don't particularly care for burned bread. Toast on the other hand is delicious.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eIZBqBfC0uH_SMOs6Ue96YhUkyiNJuv-hcKjTTVN_ggxT9K7bJ0GaK69s1sNqzv9QJ796OFyB2wthyphenhypheniSVyhSpX76FkeBYWE42LZkZDgB8fVZPmM7VUpnENqISkfIlOZpyd-EV1fm2Ek/s1600/IMG_2509.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eIZBqBfC0uH_SMOs6Ue96YhUkyiNJuv-hcKjTTVN_ggxT9K7bJ0GaK69s1sNqzv9QJ796OFyB2wthyphenhypheniSVyhSpX76FkeBYWE42LZkZDgB8fVZPmM7VUpnENqISkfIlOZpyd-EV1fm2Ek/s400/IMG_2509.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581911120187209314" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8fIzNY5YUVamfMKIqnvu3biXY-VgFCbmMff2K7bMmxjnOSFzV4Vu-Fkex14QmoX7fnGRtfHjONywky1dQ-hgCOIep8Oml7Wy2OBCZ63G-wy-Sm-Zo8zGJFPCkwEY4jlX6fzpa9Q79KQ/s1600/IMG_2510.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8fIzNY5YUVamfMKIqnvu3biXY-VgFCbmMff2K7bMmxjnOSFzV4Vu-Fkex14QmoX7fnGRtfHjONywky1dQ-hgCOIep8Oml7Wy2OBCZ63G-wy-Sm-Zo8zGJFPCkwEY4jlX6fzpa9Q79KQ/s400/IMG_2510.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581911122362085058" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finished product with a side of Guacamole.

We planted a ton of peppers and herbs and miscelaneous home depot plants in both of them in April/May'ish. One garden got a lot of attention and the other was left to waste away and grow wild. One was enough work.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I was taking a look at the basil chaos that had become of the second garden last week and low and behold, I struck pay dirt. The Habanero had survived the insanity and made a bunch of peppers. See above.<br /><br /><br />Habaneros have great flavor, but they are very very hot. Burn the mouth. Singe the nostrils. If I was to take payment to rub one in my eye, the minimum payment would have to be $4,300. What is the minimum amount that you would accept to rub a habanero in your eye? Think about it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOAX1gQZPFqg-gVd69YIkD3rxC_p2HizaZsgS6M8r1vnjZ7DMqySoioHDD7TuoXnX0EEDDQLV376lvGjm0dsGCbwusskuLg1gNIKV6iRl8wteJgEYTBgLCq3LzvrWs7nWgYCsg-9aPKb6/s1600/DSC02026.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549524127295658050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOAX1gQZPFqg-gVd69YIkD3rxC_p2HizaZsgS6M8r1vnjZ7DMqySoioHDD7TuoXnX0EEDDQLV376lvGjm0dsGCbwusskuLg1gNIKV6iRl8wteJgEYTBgLCq3LzvrWs7nWgYCsg-9aPKb6/s400/DSC02026.JPG" /></a><br /><br />So I had all of these peppers, and I had no idea what to do with them. A freeze was coming, so I got them all off of the plant. Luckily, Kimistry Kitchen was in town and she and StephSmoke both wanted to harness the flavor of the habaneros in a long lasting jelly. I thought Jelly would be more fun than rubbing them in my eyes. So, we immidietly had the helicopter come pick us up and we went to the store for provisions.<br /><br />Apparenty you need:<br /><br />1) Peppers<br />2) Vinegar of some sort<br />3) Red Bell Peppers<br />4) Sugar<br />5) Pectin. Which is like bone marrow for plants.<br />6) A Helicopter<br /><p>Mix it all up and you've got Jelly.

I've made it known to a few people but not everyone that I am going to start a small catering operation sooner rather than later. I need to say right off the bat that this is an El Smokeador venture and not Smokehopper. He has offered to help, but has too much on his plate (food pun!!) to do it as frequently as I want to. That said, if you have a need for a couple briskets with sides for a holiday party you have coming up, let me know. <div><br /></div><div>I have provided briskets for a couple functions in the past that have gone really well and it's something that I can do a lot cheaper than your standard BBQ caterers. I can provide the following:</div><div>1) Brisket (Butterfinger/Candy Cane optional)</div><div>2) Buns, onions, pickles, etc</div><div>3) Sides (Potato salad and beans)</div><div>4) Dessert</div><div>5) Servers</div><div>6) Plates, utencils, etc</div><div>7) A garden hose if you require drinks. I will hook it up to your house.</div><div><br /></div><div>More or less anything you need me to provide, I can provide it. If you think you will be hosting anywhere from 15-75 people I can accommodate. If some of them require a fish or chicken meal, I can provide that as well. I can accommodate a family dinner if thats what you require as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a picture of a satisfied customer.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVwni42tCOsE6ntDqX91UUR-ssR7kXhfT0iR58tyRE4qs1Q4Q6l5_xctadB3aDCX1IcJnsvmF4NXBzA6SQQe7SVgmTjeCGaCjwP0UV3W85_qv_EJUKS2zIfj6VkbIs7K4pRHaik3TCCo/s1600/IMG_1675.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVwni42tCOsE6ntDqX91UUR-ssR7kXhfT0iR58tyRE4qs1Q4Q6l5_xctadB3aDCX1IcJnsvmF4NXBzA6SQQe7SVgmTjeCGaCjwP0UV3W85_qv_EJUKS2zIfj6VkbIs7K4pRHaik3TCCo/s400/IMG_1675.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538039836522005394" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>If you think you have something coming up that you want people to eat at, shoot me an email at elsmokeador@gmail.com and we can work something out.

Washed and patted the turkey neck pieces dry, added them to the pot and covered with chicken broth and water. This was all to make the stock for the soup which by itself was amazing. The jalapenos gave it a great spicy tinge that really brought out the flavor of the hot Chiturkey stock. Chiturkey stock is a good recipe for the common cold that dates back to the early 400's. When unicorn horns couldn't be harvested and hippo teeth had rotted out, the natives turned to Chiturkey. Enjoy it like they did. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWb1ZNhc-ktONHIj9av-S4rnpvbjZmHrhN256N7F2rbUiZApyC1FDUwJDYkBQcRnqw7gbn-wi_IOduQUt0MZ1NjXqzDeyB0aeDyeDG7ezWUbiVzE37HAXB-l7oJPR_2xJWr-_1xIALfJ4/s1600/IMG_2397.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWb1ZNhc-ktONHIj9av-S4rnpvbjZmHrhN256N7F2rbUiZApyC1FDUwJDYkBQcRnqw7gbn-wi_IOduQUt0MZ1NjXqzDeyB0aeDyeDG7ezWUbiVzE37HAXB-l7oJPR_2xJWr-_1xIALfJ4/s400/IMG_2397.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537286768051683170" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB93_OcJn7m9OzHXke_JdVDsML2FFTkjQ40eK_CtwjsPK96Kl3yIza_HDY0fX8FxnTMMjgwxdZhz2Pljkd5DnSiPj3YQtZljlhlzscDVjByI3MVHOwiBDv4iUCJ0uBngEfAvdT983MVk0/s1600/IMG_2398.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB93_OcJn7m9OzHXke_JdVDsML2FFTkjQ40eK_CtwjsPK96Kl3yIza_HDY0fX8FxnTMMjgwxdZhz2Pljkd5DnSiPj3YQtZljlhlzscDVjByI3MVHOwiBDv4iUCJ0uBngEfAvdT983MVk0/s400/IMG_2398.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537286774444008626" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiII5NT_e5njrKMEINhECr_cQRK4wUC84rVS4GlRUoA0KFxnSovL7mdpEiSuKuxiRtpCPfySMCIJJ03LYYvp6uotqmUVJORppdoKlgVkzcBbXha49NsX3WagdBqT8cpjDw0umOpc8YhBmI/s1600/IMG_2399.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiII5NT_e5njrKMEINhECr_cQRK4wUC84rVS4GlRUoA0KFxnSovL7mdpEiSuKuxiRtpCPfySMCIJJ03LYYvp6uotqmUVJORppdoKlgVkzcBbXha49NsX3WagdBqT8cpjDw0umOpc8YhBmI/s400/IMG_2399.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537286788252238002" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>After 6 hours in the crock pot (low temp) we reconvened and began finishing up the soup.

For that I would like to say something to Pecan Valley Golf Course in Fort Worth. No one wants your rainchecks. Just give the money back if the golfing experience is not good after one hole. Thats all I have to say on that.</div><div><br /></div><div>When Central Market announced that they would be having another Hatch Chile competition a couple weeks ago, we began brainstorming some recipes that would both be delicious and have not done before as that is sort of our deal. We don't like making things that have been made before. Still waiting on those butterfinger brisket royalties to come in. </div><div><br /></div><div>Smokehopper would not be in town for this delicious endeavor, so I called another culinary contributor to the site and thankfully LSmoke was available. We talked and decided that the best way to win both the competition and a delicious Saturday would be to make homemade sausage corn dogs stuffed with Hatch Chiles. We won. The delicious Saturday part, not the Central Market deal. But thats ok. We don't need justification from places that do not even carry the supplies we need. Onto that portion of this raucous tale.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is an interesting fact that you need to know when making sausage for the first time....you need sausage casings to make sausage. This is a list of places in Fort Worth that do not currently sell sausage casings and have no plans to:</div><div>1) The Mexican meat store on Granbury road</div><div>2) The Supermercado on Hemphill</div><div>3) Central Market</div><div>4) Alberstons</div><div>5) Kroger</div><div>6) and one other place that I can't remember</div><div><br /></div><div>You can however find them at Academy of all places, so thanks Academy. </div><div><br /></div><div>It should be noted that you should buy the hog sausage casings. They smell up the kitchen something fierce, but its worth it. This is what they look like in a bowl getting ready to soak for 30 minutes or so.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuIXebDtKf-s5qVxOMRLfEZGZqQJjT1dcWTeecWCHQ2k3vr33oeVAmgHZ5RGIOopatPn2WrAoc1wlYxdVFXZBBcMQWxG_FNxxzYBTsvBsQgUdMP3XgST5SXoHt6vggBk7BmNLR7FUmulM/s1600/IMG_2347.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuIXebDtKf-s5qVxOMRLfEZGZqQJjT1dcWTeecWCHQ2k3vr33oeVAmgHZ5RGIOopatPn2WrAoc1wlYxdVFXZBBcMQWxG_FNxxzYBTsvBsQgUdMP3XgST5SXoHt6vggBk7BmNLR7FUmulM/s400/IMG_2347.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511795916254437618" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>While they were soaking and making the kitchen smell mostly like a pigs insides, we started roasting the chiles.

Making corn dogs from scratch is a relatively difficult and time consuming task, but it was more than worth it on a Saturday afternoon. Add Hatch Chiles to the equation and the greatness increases exponentially. We thought at one point that it would take only a couple of hours, but when it came down to it I would say it was closer to 3 or 3.5. Regardless, more than worth the time. The sausage turned out fantastic and the batter was not too sweet but rather served as a good compliment to the salty consistency of the sausage.

I'm sure I forgot someone. We had some stiff competition, the other Texas guys again proved that our great state has the best backyard food to offer in our great country. Thank you Honeysuckle White for somehow finding our neat little culinary/literary venture and including us. Its been fun and you truly make a fine, fine product. We highly recommend turkey products from Honeysuckle White, they are a top notch little organization.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to the Delta Spirit, of montreal, Band of Horses, James Murphy, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney (the Black Keys who are apparently aware of the blog and what we do....big things coming...hopefully) and everyone else that provided turkey inspiration while we filmed countless hours of footage that was left on the cutting room floor. LSmoke and SmokeNor especially for helping with the filming and justifying our creation before we submitted it.</div><div><br /></div><div>We really liked the idea of filming blog posts and have a couple other vignettes that we will be posting throughout the rest of the year. You should expect to learn about the origination of our blog and its true ownership. We have other turkey recipes that didn't make the cut that we need to edit and post eventually. There will also be a Texas BBQ symposium in the near future that we are overwhelmed with excitement about. Our friends over at Man Up Texas BBQ, Full Custom Gospel BBQ and others will be in attendance. Please visit their blogs via the links on the left hand side of the page. They are good people and have good stuff to say. Or write. Something. </div><div><br /></div><div>On a serious note, thanks again for reading and showing your support for our fun little corner of the internet, you know for meat. We both wanted this really badly and hope you enjoyed the video. We promise to keep raising the bar when it comes to ridiculous food creations for many years to come. Maybe months. Probably weeks.

Not really, I guess.<br /><br />Anyway, I made a sandwich the other day that you WOULD NOT BELIEVE! I was hungry on Sunday night and there was no sort of dinner planned, so I raided the pantry/fridge and I ended up with pure magic. Here begins the story:<br /><br />Last week was a good culinary week, and there were lots of fantastic ingredients laying around. I will list them and tell the story of each ingredient. Remember them, because at the end I'm going to put them all in sandwich form. If you can image each ingredient indiviudally in your mind then you'll have a better understanding of how good this sandwich really was.<br /><br />1) Scratch Made Roasted Garlic Rolls<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44R-XnMRGaxL2ni3u5L208NGhNZmLursQnEj_nAt0MArYcTPvxk_1i-xTYBvOcp1t4izhtfoQ7q5wAvMsQxyfvUZG2O6BT272QBaITmy-o0L_9K5_e9vBzG2zLMp5ZZeV5nBmIuqd21aD/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493554075540415506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44R-XnMRGaxL2ni3u5L208NGhNZmLursQnEj_nAt0MArYcTPvxk_1i-xTYBvOcp1t4izhtfoQ7q5wAvMsQxyfvUZG2O6BT272QBaITmy-o0L_9K5_e9vBzG2zLMp5ZZeV5nBmIuqd21aD/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+003.jpg" /></a><br />(Imagine the smell)<br /><br />StephSmoke got a Kitchen Aid for her birthday and it smells like a bakery almost every Sunday at her house. She was nice enough to give me some homeade roasted garlic rolls. (She made them the same day I made my sandwich) Super fresh and delicious and filled with roasted garlic. Absolutely amazing. Thats rosemary on top. It smelled like rosemary. Close your eyes and imagine the smell of fresh baked bread mixed with earthy roasted garlic and rosemary. Culinary high five!<br /><br />2) Fresh Basil/Cashew Pesto<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuXAvzjn83wSwHeRPmtFrWgbJFZXhyZJ-UVS5fSc999SI9ggD8ogG8LIkyvbrSVmX2hn_FzyZoK8r2rmLPdsdpJPvC3gAUm2cipMZUCo4zOC8UTsUd8MgWRNYOFZADcCQ0NhFAapOVCUMs/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+004.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493554070415735970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuXAvzjn83wSwHeRPmtFrWgbJFZXhyZJ-UVS5fSc999SI9ggD8ogG8LIkyvbrSVmX2hn_FzyZoK8r2rmLPdsdpJPvC3gAUm2cipMZUCo4zOC8UTsUd8MgWRNYOFZADcCQ0NhFAapOVCUMs/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+004.jpg" /></a><br />(looks like goop, tastes like good)<br /><br />Uhhhh, I have a pretty awesome herb garden. I'm kind of a big deal. I mean...people know my garden. Famous people. Carbon Footprint. Urban Guerrila Gardening. Hybrid Cars. Solar powered zero point energy, but I digress. A few days back from the sandwich date (SD -3) I made an unbelievable fresh basil pesto. Pesto is herbs, in this case basil, and pine nuts, in this case cashews, and garlic and olive oil and salt and pepper. All mixed up in a blender. Its like The Rock of flavor. I mean the wrestler the Rock. But more like 1999 The Rock. Not Disney The Rock.<br /><br />3) Grey Poupon and Itasca Texas Chevre<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEkxDxj514LQIy8gotfs-uZdJqSBJ5uRVaKUx6RtEmPx_RY1Ln58LYHNgKMHhoyGCvUsJwJZl43E0bo7J-zNN9ucwE5XTg1f6uhOIXi40q9B0J5GJaw1mB0BqPMhoxehiTCVuSD95w55AP/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+005.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493554063430746978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEkxDxj514LQIy8gotfs-uZdJqSBJ5uRVaKUx6RtEmPx_RY1Ln58LYHNgKMHhoyGCvUsJwJZl43E0bo7J-zNN9ucwE5XTg1f6uhOIXi40q9B0J5GJaw1mB0BqPMhoxehiTCVuSD95w55AP/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+005.jpg" /></a><br />(this is where flavor is)<br /><br />I had gone to the Fort Worth Saturday Farmers Market (which is awesome) and got some goat cheese made in Itasca. I dont know how to describe the flavor but I'll try: wicked awesome . The Dijon mustard came from France I'm assuming.<br /><br />4) Blurry Tomatoes<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHyCj16umGhgo5WYjK8ZyKtLGqSM30ltU94oF7llIl9SXiUU0hk6Jvvbr5ZW4xugHGxYPOdML2_vzNoV84SkbYt0uR9zPwCDySdpYWhzUmKKL_5Fo-5GFGjFBTwpmK2Nc8kNqq69QaBwGO/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+007.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493554056244548594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHyCj16umGhgo5WYjK8ZyKtLGqSM30ltU94oF7llIl9SXiUU0hk6Jvvbr5ZW4xugHGxYPOdML2_vzNoV84SkbYt0uR9zPwCDySdpYWhzUmKKL_5Fo-5GFGjFBTwpmK2Nc8kNqq69QaBwGO/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+007.jpg" /></a><br />(tomatoes are a fruit)<br /><br />I also bought some tomatoes at the farmer's market. Parker County. I also got these minitaure peaches from the same guy. Awesome.<br /><br />5) Hass Avocado<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdMvwbxcCr9jm2V8TXhaplVm-D1Typt_Z2vQyUI55hnbNsGlFKj4RbhTghKW5Zyqq8lJBA9X-i11vxQGvXzMmrIlxUHH6jbxuJuZ_VuJN2RjmhT2IrOqrc-IEHDUfGJ0vSZP92sf7xDjRq/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+008.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493554045998929890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdMvwbxcCr9jm2V8TXhaplVm-D1Typt_Z2vQyUI55hnbNsGlFKj4RbhTghKW5Zyqq8lJBA9X-i11vxQGvXzMmrIlxUHH6jbxuJuZ_VuJN2RjmhT2IrOqrc-IEHDUfGJ0vSZP92sf7xDjRq/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+008.jpg" /></a><br />(Avocaodos from Target.)<br /><br />I'm sorry that there is not a good story to go along with these avocados. Did you know that all Hass avocados originate from a single tree!? Its the truth.<br /><br />6) Toaster<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28kqd9fCozN_1U0bvROqZyxELxCdXQVr6sJbQojCSyVVv6jNdfJB6l-J5wrLCL2FtRQzFKL_accy30ndCryXO7QHOxPB8mTMjhbGmERLMdQR8TXB85TkIxoOKpPOHmJcIn3rgULzjC2ls/s1600/sandwich+yum+july+2010+011.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493552342989977026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28kqd9fCozN_1U0bvROqZyxELxCdXQVr6sJbQojCSyVVv6jNdfJB6l-J5wrLCL2FtRQzFKL_accy30ndCryXO7QHOxPB8mTMjhbGmERLMdQR8TXB85TkIxoOKpPOHmJcIn3rgULzjC2ls/s400/sandwich+yum+july+2010+011.jpg" /></a><br />(I own a toaster)<br /><br />7) Slow Smoked, applewood roasted, duck fat braised Turkey.

Study them. Second, you better believe that’s real charcoal. No briquets or propane or other girly-man cooking methods; Ishmael throws down old school. First, you’ll want to soak the planks for a few hours in advance, and get a good, hot fire going. Finally, once that’s complete, it takes no time at all until your fish is perfectly done – white, moist, flaky and no risk of burning from the charcoal below. Stay with me here, we’re moving fast and not always in a straight line. You’ll be okay.<br /><br />And you know Ishmael (that’s me, remember, aka ODB, aka Dirt McGirt, aka “The Fishmonger” … okay, I just made that last one up, but I think it sounds cool anyway) keep’s the cuisine fresh and simple. Bring on the fish. (Where did you get the fish, you ask? Patience, grasshopper, and all will be revealed in time as we skip backwards towards many revelations.) Rinse the filets, and pat them dry. A sprinkle of Old Bay – you’re cooking on the Eastern Shore of Maryland now, folks, so get used to it and embrace our customs – and just a touch of fresh-ground Himalayan salt. (Frankly, if you’re still using regular table salt for your cooking, you are excused to go visit Red Lobster or Long John Silver’s. Go ahead. Good riddance, really.)<br /><br />Now buckle your seatbelts, ‘cause I’m about to pump another 1.21 gigawatts through the flux capacitor as we go back a bit further in time to the very genesis of this grand experiment …<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjRN6XfYcJ4Ey3ew1TChNVbR-TfbwTKbTDRFq_KRUwsw31_zUbv68KpAsD7dsXrVjMXv8tHYnah8SN_AdiKv1UPiFFxzzD3Hz6OhKf-bd8Dt9JIngER0IC7dZtJ5RXUWDtdm-uIpEU1FZE/s1600/sunrise.jpg"><img style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480587393324365426" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjRN6XfYcJ4Ey3ew1TChNVbR-TfbwTKbTDRFq_KRUwsw31_zUbv68KpAsD7dsXrVjMXv8tHYnah8SN_AdiKv1UPiFFxzzD3Hz6OhKf-bd8Dt9JIngER0IC7dZtJ5RXUWDtdm-uIpEU1FZE/s400/sunrise.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWKkgJY09af6D-K_68MNcjpHiO94GJ_4Sx84VD13Eke7zZgy6Y1sHpNIBHE5O2zdU4Axhv-n0J8esDB0ndgZ6CrRLKauA92EPCM6lUAjVponI3rri9O6mXxMv2QxY3XAYeaI1RmwNjoB7/s1600/ishmael.jpg"><img style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480587084904273154" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWKkgJY09af6D-K_68MNcjpHiO94GJ_4Sx84VD13Eke7zZgy6Y1sHpNIBHE5O2zdU4Axhv-n0J8esDB0ndgZ6CrRLKauA92EPCM6lUAjVponI3rri9O6mXxMv2QxY3XAYeaI1RmwNjoB7/s400/ishmael.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=""><v:shape style="width: 3in; height: 162pt; visibility: visible;" id="Picture_x0020_7" alt="IMG00288-20100528-0555.jpg" type="#_x0000_t75" spid="_x0000_i1031"></v:shape></span>That’s right: It’s morning, and I'm on a boat (sing along, if you know the tune).<span style=""> </span>Even better: it’s not my boat. Ishmael might be a charming wordsmith capable of challenging Smokehopper’s culinary commentary, but he’s also a cheap ol’ dirty bastard who’s always up for a free fishing trip and not ashamed to say it.<br /><br />As stated before (or later? this time travel storytelling is confusing even to a man of Mensa intellect) it’s okay to be jealous of me and my wily charm; you’ll get used to it. You see, grilling up some nice, fresh rockfish fillets for dinner is the reward for life on the <st1:place st="on">Chesapeake Bay</st1:place>. All told, it was another tough day at the office, as you can see. (Tomorrow I’m off to film another Dos Equis commercial – it is a blessing and a curse to be the most interesting man in the world.)<br /><br />Sadly, our journey into the past has served its purpose and we must now transition Back to the Future. So, how’d the cedar plank rockfish taste? Let me assure you that planks almost always provide a reliable, easy and tasty alternative to shake up your backyard barbeque routine. Stock up on grilling planks in advance at the local hardware store, or at specialty stores for a better selection … they are excellent for cooking a righteous pork tenderloin, among other uses. In fact many fish – salmon being a great example – are really excellent off of a plank, which imparts a subtle smoke and guarantees a moist, indirect heat.<br /><br />Unfortunately, today revealed that rockfish may be the exception to this rule, it’s flavor being just a bit too mild. My masterpiece looked excellent and cooked up perfectly done (no, I’m not showing the picture again – time travel your ass back to the top of this post and refresh your memory if necessary). But, just as I used my manly musculature to bully that fish from the sea, the planks and charcoal similarly overpowered the filets with a bit too much smoky flavor. It wasn’t bad – I ate it anyway (there was no plan B for dinner). But it could have been better. It should have been better. Dammit.<br /><br />We now return to your regularly scheduled broadcast with El Smokeador y Smokehopper.<br /><br />Ishmael out.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>SmokeHopperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10447715768511605724noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945535874447247382.post-79322711939630931142010-06-07T16:35:00.002-05:002010-06-07T16:37:31.566-05:00Contest Is OverWinner has been selected and the post will be up soon.

Lets get outside and do some stuff. You...you on the Couch! Get out there and be somebody. Punch nature in the face and take exactly zero prisoners while doing so. You may be wondering how to do this on a limited budget. The Answer is picnicking...TOO THE EXTRME. But really just going on a picnic will qualify.</div><div><br /></div><div>For my picnic meal I chose to make BLT's. But after I went to the store to shop for the B the L and the T, I saw some other good stuff and decided to make BATAMO's. Which of course is a Bacon-Arugula-Tomato-Avocado-Mayo-Onion sandwich.</div><div><br /></div><div>For my picnic destination I chose the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens because it is (1) awesome and (2) within walking distance. Anyway, we cooked some stuff prior to departure, and we assembled the rest on the garden grounds. Keep reading if you want to know more about this. I assume this is why you are reading a blog. This is what blog reading is. </div><div><br /></div><div>Step 1: Buy some quality food gold (aka bacon). This is Cherrywood smoked bacon. I didn't buy Applewood smoked bacon because when I looked at it in the butcher's case, it reminded me of an Applebee's ad. Way too much talk about applewood smoked bacon these days. I mean, I bet its good but...you know. I'm just sayin.</div><div><br /></div><div>I cooked it in the oven for a while and took it out and let it cool. There are no ovens in the wild, so you have to cook it before hand.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigKQpSrPS4GAry0w9tZQk2hXz2pjewjHevqcmN7KljfmdKH3_nJ5oT9gti6ITHeR4ZXPQ9NTKJaqhVchlBUyj_WIWDnvqer1650cIBMdhCK-pIpYy9N5d7IlvYPUdDQ7vZgEC2ICBimwDK/s1600/IMG00524-20100508-1001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigKQpSrPS4GAry0w9tZQk2hXz2pjewjHevqcmN7KljfmdKH3_nJ5oT9gti6ITHeR4ZXPQ9NTKJaqhVchlBUyj_WIWDnvqer1650cIBMdhCK-pIpYy9N5d7IlvYPUdDQ7vZgEC2ICBimwDK/s400/IMG00524-20100508-1001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469001244077092002" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigKQpSrPS4GAry0w9tZQk2hXz2pjewjHevqcmN7KljfmdKH3_nJ5oT9gti6ITHeR4ZXPQ9NTKJaqhVchlBUyj_WIWDnvqer1650cIBMdhCK-pIpYy9N5d7IlvYPUdDQ7vZgEC2ICBimwDK/s1600/IMG00524-20100508-1001.jpg"></a>Step 2: Make Mayo. If you don't know how to make mayo, its time to get with the picture. Its roughly twelve parsecs better than store bought mayo. But truthfully, store bought isn't bad, but if you have the ingredients sitting around, oil, lemon, vinegar...then I just make it. Thats what I say. (Note that raw egg is dangerous . They have special pasteurized eggs you can use to avoid this danger.)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzA-qe32D_u244QdEEsKGV1vgQdoknGzThErljmB4syA_iR8cbeq_ySW5mmziX0XbfAW-GeEjZm3r-ZK1wtoijpOV5G1U__SfIPmWHUSgr3OcBCzuT7WbLV60VgCQZ__tUUfMgWp60icq/s1600/IMG00523-20100508-1001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzA-qe32D_u244QdEEsKGV1vgQdoknGzThErljmB4syA_iR8cbeq_ySW5mmziX0XbfAW-GeEjZm3r-ZK1wtoijpOV5G1U__SfIPmWHUSgr3OcBCzuT7WbLV60VgCQZ__tUUfMgWp60icq/s400/IMG00523-20100508-1001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469000984065019346" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLzA-qe32D_u244QdEEsKGV1vgQdoknGzThErljmB4syA_iR8cbeq_ySW5mmziX0XbfAW-GeEjZm3r-ZK1wtoijpOV5G1U__SfIPmWHUSgr3OcBCzuT7WbLV60VgCQZ__tUUfMgWp60icq/s1600/IMG00523-20100508-1001.jpg"></a>Chop up some tarragon.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBUpmeQypq48696kKbnetNa0vavgl4M7ki3i0eAgp_RSSjRv32bXsMByCOKiN__yVJvsIawG0bDH3eYbIljHKLywN2n5TQ2pShgEiJ_nJYKHGnSehpwClLsl36TuqTZdhRpvyuGePrO1w/s1600/IMG00526-20100508-1010.jpg"></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBUpmeQypq48696kKbnetNa0vavgl4M7ki3i0eAgp_RSSjRv32bXsMByCOKiN__yVJvsIawG0bDH3eYbIljHKLywN2n5TQ2pShgEiJ_nJYKHGnSehpwClLsl36TuqTZdhRpvyuGePrO1w/s1600/IMG00526-20100508-1010.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBUpmeQypq48696kKbnetNa0vavgl4M7ki3i0eAgp_RSSjRv32bXsMByCOKiN__yVJvsIawG0bDH3eYbIljHKLywN2n5TQ2pShgEiJ_nJYKHGnSehpwClLsl36TuqTZdhRpvyuGePrO1w/s400/IMG00526-20100508-1010.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469000980059097170" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijBUpmeQypq48696kKbnetNa0vavgl4M7ki3i0eAgp_RSSjRv32bXsMByCOKiN__yVJvsIawG0bDH3eYbIljHKLywN2n5TQ2pShgEiJ_nJYKHGnSehpwClLsl36TuqTZdhRpvyuGePrO1w/s1600/IMG00526-20100508-1010.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"></a>Mix it up in the Mayo.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMiwW6IiC0_DGNA7drfzAd3ufwtkC8Og-nhnsBUKgfT5zpkidho6bjuBZrFYCmfL9ofdEdLL0kX6k4R3V9nWApiF8xT9IRSLmSmlx6SOk9bOai8hJdY8XTpHT-OATqcjZAH74I1Pq6P6B/s1600/IMG00527-20100508-1011.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMiwW6IiC0_DGNA7drfzAd3ufwtkC8Og-nhnsBUKgfT5zpkidho6bjuBZrFYCmfL9ofdEdLL0kX6k4R3V9nWApiF8xT9IRSLmSmlx6SOk9bOai8hJdY8XTpHT-OATqcjZAH74I1Pq6P6B/s400/IMG00527-20100508-1011.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469000973130727906" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHMiwW6IiC0_DGNA7drfzAd3ufwtkC8Og-nhnsBUKgfT5zpkidho6bjuBZrFYCmfL9ofdEdLL0kX6k4R3V9nWApiF8xT9IRSLmSmlx6SOk9bOai8hJdY8XTpHT-OATqcjZAH74I1Pq6P6B/s1600/IMG00527-20100508-1011.jpg"></a>Now you have tarragon Mayo.

We have a lot of ideas tabled and frankly rose the bar a little too high with what we did in 2009. Butterfinger Brisket, come on. Chicken Fried Brisket, right. So, this is going to be relatively short and sweet. Really sweet.....because the chicken turned out really sweet.

Zing x2.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is the smoker we used at SmokeNor's house. The original plan was to cook the chicken for about 4 or 5 hours at about 225. Things we didn't have that would have been great:</div><div>1) Meat thermometer (we ended up getting one later, so disregard this).</div><div>2) An oven thermometer that told gave us an accurate reading on the temp inside the chamber.</div><div>We didn't end up needing a thermometer but instead a better understanding of how the smoker worked. We didn't use nearly enough wood starting out and the heat only got up to 175 for the first 3 or 4 hours. Ended up cooking the chicken for a solid 6 hours after we figured out that we had to get a good sized fire going in the firebox. Took about 3 logs at a time. Sorry for the rant. It's under control.</div><div><br /></div><div>We did some ribs too, but only LSmoke's turned out good. Next time I needed to make mine a little more tender. I also tried out a Guinness inspired bourbon, coffee, heath bar rub that will not be posted.

Check out how the Guinness came out through the top and drizzled down the skin. Don't think that had any effect on the final product but the chicken was easily the sweetest chicken I had ever tasted.

The results of our undertaking that fateful afternoon will no doubt shape the world of brisket smoking for years to come on a physical, nay a metaphysical, level.<br /><br /><br />Just kidding, we didn't change anything on a metaphysical level but we were the first people to chicken fry a smoked brisket in the history of the internet. We did several google searches (why google and not bing, because f bing thats why) and nothing came back. Quotes, hyphens, ellipses, nothing worked. I would most likely go out on a limb and say that no one with any brisket experience has ever done this. We are proud of our creation and hope you enjoy it. In fact, take some time to try it out if you must. We insist.<br /><br /><br />It was cold as all get out on the 3oth at 9:30 when we started things up. This is a neat little trick that Smokehopper showed me. Worked awesome and kept us warm.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsII1NykBkcuDyDZU3clRqGAs4dsDHLUc7T2AoqOSH2e1wGlX4D-r4H2cazFnI0_L4FongPqbx9DGrYhASVauAt5m6R3v32ut34CrkmrpQXUGMUOclN_B4Sd3fI9rlIYcfBkcYan9nmEM/s1600-h/IMG_2028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433481600128813602" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsII1NykBkcuDyDZU3clRqGAs4dsDHLUc7T2AoqOSH2e1wGlX4D-r4H2cazFnI0_L4FongPqbx9DGrYhASVauAt5m6R3v32ut34CrkmrpQXUGMUOclN_B4Sd3fI9rlIYcfBkcYan9nmEM/s400/IMG_2028.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsII1NykBkcuDyDZU3clRqGAs4dsDHLUc7T2AoqOSH2e1wGlX4D-r4H2cazFnI0_L4FongPqbx9DGrYhASVauAt5m6R3v32ut34CrkmrpQXUGMUOclN_B4Sd3fI9rlIYcfBkcYan9nmEM/s1600-h/IMG_2028.JPG"></a>This is a proper smoking setup if you live in Fort Worth.

Decided that chicken fried anything needs gravy and we should use the brisket stock leftover from when they were in the foil to help make the gravy. It worked. Gravy went as follows: pan from frying, a little flour and milk added, wisk wisk wisk, add some of the stock, little more flour, wisk wisk wisk, more milk, oh shit, we're losing it, little more flour, more stock, little more milk, ok good we saved it. Wouldn't recommend following the steps above to a t, but you know what gravy should look like. Also, I wouldn't add any salt in this process. The stock has a salty taste and you should have already lightly salted the fried briskets.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAXEUaAt-OCsgXoVXx60eO7UMzn6hFE0DIEHDieWO1W_2p0aNHbG9J4s8w4_rrzlGORDDKMlhZITOX_fm2vOxSF9j3yeKYgBTeJuYmlVoF1bMzXG7mHzZk2gyfrE0bKnNvRVzEnSPTlA/s1600-h/IMG_2037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433483150197023042" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAXEUaAt-OCsgXoVXx60eO7UMzn6hFE0DIEHDieWO1W_2p0aNHbG9J4s8w4_rrzlGORDDKMlhZITOX_fm2vOxSF9j3yeKYgBTeJuYmlVoF1bMzXG7mHzZk2gyfrE0bKnNvRVzEnSPTlA/s400/IMG_2037.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHFdi3ezrRQj4sIvaRQ_Jqy_EAXn0A17BmOjfYy33UStIt-mg-RcEzxZuNNC_e1qSxZYCl0kRfyceggpYwpjak7ZtITmAvnP9ZRxF6VCJ3R5DH6ZJwK8c-ras7oi_N5dQk2dJ1kS0Gqk/s1600-h/IMG_2057.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433483865694120930" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHFdi3ezrRQj4sIvaRQ_Jqy_EAXn0A17BmOjfYy33UStIt-mg-RcEzxZuNNC_e1qSxZYCl0kRfyceggpYwpjak7ZtITmAvnP9ZRxF6VCJ3R5DH6ZJwK8c-ras7oi_N5dQk2dJ1kS0Gqk/s400/IMG_2057.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVuPOIg2e2IkVPryoWd8DTCdIk5UG_wq7ja3YnBabXziOC3d2zENuH1taxNOe80KiA5Ef-kchUPDCWtxhpZYYu4qFFxjuhrV8tPI-FU_hZ1WHNrQn6ISntWDneqobmI-1_1Uhm6S7_JQ/s1600-h/IMG_2058.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433484158154096034" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVuPOIg2e2IkVPryoWd8DTCdIk5UG_wq7ja3YnBabXziOC3d2zENuH1taxNOe80KiA5Ef-kchUPDCWtxhpZYYu4qFFxjuhrV8tPI-FU_hZ1WHNrQn6ISntWDneqobmI-1_1Uhm6S7_JQ/s400/IMG_2058.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0WtjSaLkUcdNmQCLPNw1xTeczS0245Ntkog8PEiAHcHfDSm4I-Cq9z5Op2NtGpOE-zDarlFBceXG33DLU19VE9QHR9wJ0DQwNjBIWn71YOhvoh8cgfIdo4TDUL0JPjsNWuR5HQUP7pYU/s1600-h/IMG_2061.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433484162218735202" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0WtjSaLkUcdNmQCLPNw1xTeczS0245Ntkog8PEiAHcHfDSm4I-Cq9z5Op2NtGpOE-zDarlFBceXG33DLU19VE9QHR9wJ0DQwNjBIWn71YOhvoh8cgfIdo4TDUL0JPjsNWuR5HQUP7pYU/s400/IMG_2061.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Now that everything was ready to be plated, I had a beer and let Smokehopper do the plating.

I was really looking to prove my theory right that you can fry anything and it will turn out good, but I was not expecting this to turn out as well as it did. The batter/rub had a great taste when fried and the brisket did not lose any of its consistency in the pan. That little guy in the middle was delicious.<br /><br /><br />We have other ideas that are on the way, some that are still in the developmental stages (minotaur leg) and others that might not ever happen. But, if you have something you want to see us try out please feel free to leave it in the comments or shoot one of us an email. If we like your idea, we will send you a hat. We made hats.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe22X1iHCCodS_o1egreqNtBeGUJG82s9wtDZIaFVMz8XcszVU1S9a-e4fSrdkvtbhkfP25NZCDpG7Hxk2aaZZYM-8gJDPHdJrim6VgZDFIVTJZZqHkyNhG9fezyINsVFAmMAwwCEt1kQ/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436090224999617650" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe22X1iHCCodS_o1egreqNtBeGUJG82s9wtDZIaFVMz8XcszVU1S9a-e4fSrdkvtbhkfP25NZCDpG7Hxk2aaZZYM-8gJDPHdJrim6VgZDFIVTJZZqHkyNhG9fezyINsVFAmMAwwCEt1kQ/s400/photo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />~El Smokeador~El Smokeadorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03059610843125475041noreply@blogger.com8
