Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Smoking a Christmas chicken and an elk loin with apple wood chunks in the in the Smoky Mountain Smoker. It's at 150 degrees now, almost ready to come out.
In winter it's cold and breezy here by the river so I drape a welding blanket over the smoker to keep the temp up.

These pics of prime rib are killing me but got me motivated to pick one up this week. Pit has been cold for 7 months due to fire ban and we just got released last week...woohooo....so....
RIBS FOR CHRISTMAS!

Cooked way faster than I expected. Turned out great though, just ate earlier.

Dayum!
The finished product. Eaten to quickly to get a picture of the slices!

Ours was just a little one, maybe 5 lbs(3 bones). About 2.5 hours in the Pit Barrel to get to 125*, at least an hour faster than I expected. Got another larger one in the freezer for the next big occasion.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Lots of great looking meats here fellas.
A confession: the elk loin I smoked yesterday was from my 2011 bull. I don't know how we missed that until a recent freezer cleanout but there it is, a 9 year old steak. I regularly keep some game meats for 2-3 years and recently fixed an elk steak that was 5 years old. It was tender and good with only a tiny bit of freezer burn on one end. We vacuum seal and double bag every meat that goes in the freezers. Our freezer tremps are -15 to -20 degrees.
This 2011 steak was still moist but had freezer burn odor enough that I didn't think it would be edible. But Mrs. Hummer trimmed it well and put a heavy rub on it that made any burn taste almost undetectable. It came out rare and tender as elk loin/backstrap always is. Amazing!
My smoked apple pie tastes exactly like normal apple pie, but I'm not complaining.
