Love my Cameron's
Love the Cameron's as I am trying to get more flavor out of my food as I am trying to get "cleaner" with my food. Today I am even giving away my stash of DaVinci's sugar-free syrups and weaning myself to rare use of liquid stevia. Back to Cameron's. I just love splitting the center-cut pork chops I get from CostCo (wheehaw...there is a brand-new one just 3 miles from me, even in Texas) and smoking them. They are actually better the next day. The smoke flavor is more subtle than the commercially smoked, but you can use different wood chips, that go a long, long way. I especially like the hickory, cherry, apple, and mesquite chips. Chicken is good, too, although I think I will brine the next time, as it does not have enough fat as the pork. Fish is especially good and reminds me the smoked fish we used to get when I was growing up. We used to get smoked whitefish from Lake Michigan. Still better cold with some mayonnaise, dill relish, and chopped onion. Shrimp? Yes with Heinz Carb One and horseradish, a "kinda" cocktail sauce.
Next step I am contemplating is ground pork sausage with herbs, spices, and smoking/cooking the patties in the smoker. I'll post on that experiment when I get to you.
Caveat: You need a kitchen exhaust fan unless you want a somewhat smoky house.
