This cut is so surprisingly tasty and tender. I'll certainly do more of these. Would be great for a crowd.

Oh man! That looks so good. Perfectly cooked. Thanks for the review, I'll give it a try. What type of wood did you smoke with? We need a smiley face icon with drool.

I used Hickory since the bacon salt had hickory flavor to it. It was fun and really good tasting.

It looks delicious, Jean! I probably won't see it around here, but if I do, I'll surely give it a try. I will mention it to my butcher buddy, though, just in case.

Anybody notice my banana jello?? Anyone still make that, too? It was such a good 'foil' to the spiciness of the meat.

I don't have bacon salt though . . . .

Looks great, Jean, I'll have to look for this cut. I think some of us bought the Bacon Salt while Billy was still was us. I know he sent me some.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
