What did you smoke today (NC) II

[rodwha]

Undercrown’s Sungrown. I found it be to fantastically smooth, and it paired well with a stout:



But it had construction issues. It soon after lighting began to split and flake as though it was dry and crispy, and the middle was squishy, not firm like a properly rolled cigar should be:

Diesel in the duck blind this morning



Then I got this sucker

I’ve often heard duck (and other water fowl) are a love it or hate it thing. What do you do with your duck?

We take the breasts, cut a pocket in them, stuff that with a cream cheese/jalepno mix, wrap it in bacon and grill it just under or right on medium rare. I am not sure how anything can taste bad with that combo, but if you overcook duck it's awful no matter what you do. On the grill it's not for anyone that likes their meat well don that's for sure, and probably why it gets a bad wrap.

Ouch! How big of a deal is it that it's a tracked bird?

Sounds pretty dadgum good to me! I’ve just heard it said water fowl has a muddy taste. But then I’ve heard people not liking venison and hog as it’s gamey, which I disagree with. Maybe it’s in the prep work and/or how it’s cooked. To each their own maybe. Guess I need to give it a try. There’s some swans in our lake that people dislike... 😈

It's actually part of the process, reporting bands of those birds you kill. The bands are there for helping track data such as migration or age. There is a .gov website that is setup so that you can report the band, get the information on where it was banded, who banded it, and the date. They then send you a certificate of achievement actually as the bands are pretty rare and they appreciate you reporting it. I posted because it doesn't happen that often and when it does it's a pretty cool thing.

Always looking for new little morning coffee smokes. Can you tell me about them (strength, full name so I can find them, price point, and packaging {tins/boxes}, etc...)?

You can’t keep pulling the “no pix” crap! We don’t like slackers around these parts.
