Who's smokin/grillin what this weekend?

[tRidiot]

Dennis, that is awesome... I am gonna try the egg thing. And I might just take you up on the asparagus too! We LOVE some asparagus but I've never done it smoked! I usually marinate it in olive oil and garlic/salt/pepper and throw it on the grill. I'm over your way alot,we need to get together for a beer and a smoke.

Every time I hear the word asparagus, it reminds me of college botany class, my prof was Indian, and he pronounced it "ass per hagus".

Dennis, how old are your asparagus plants?

Let's do that.
I'm not far off of Hwy 60, or I can roll into town.
Asparagus season is coming to an end. Usually the second week in June is when picking stops, and you let the plants go to fern. They have to add more crown to put more on next season.

My oldest plants are 24 years old. The newest and best are a mere 12 years old.
My mom had a small patch that was probably 40 years old. 8'X4' space gave us all we wanted to eat.
Here are the eggs when done. They normally get low and slow cooking for a couple of hours, but since my darling bride was late getting home, I had the smoker set on 275 vs 175. The fast cooking didn't get the inside as brown as low and slow, but the smoke flavor was there. Very light flavor.
The smoked bacon on a stick was incredible.
Now I want to buy a pork belly, cure it, and put it on the smoker.

Remove the shell from one of those eggs and wrap it in a coat of Jimmy Dean sausage then smoke that guy... MMMMM.. smoked Scotch Eggs

 

[Wheel Gun]

How long do the eggs take in the smoker? I assume at 225?

 

[dennishoddy]

I like to do them at low heat. 175 preferably. The longer they stay in there, the more smoke permeates the shell. A couple of hours smoke time.

Have a roast, a pork butt and a few spare ribs on. Getting ready to wrap em up!
