Just Some Good Ole Pulled Pork

Nothing fancy...just had a craving for some good ole pulled pork. I also needed to replenish my freezer stash. :)

I injected a pork shoulder with spiced up beef stock then sprinkled with Big Poppa's Little Louie's rub..

into the drum with a kiss of hickory...

smoked to 200F internal temperature, wrapped and let it rest in the ice chest..

meanwhile... I sauteed onions, garlic, bacon and peppers. Added them to a pot of beans.

wrapped and seasoned some ears of corn...

into the drum while it was still hot..

topped with some Boot Kickin' Spicy Q sauce and served with some of my twangy dill pickled beans and slaw....I was a pretty happy girl. :)

Quail on a Stick and Bacon Wrapped Brats

Guess the title says it all!
 I wanted to roast a few quail over the fire while camping last time and had planned on just whittling a stick down to slow roast them.  Then someone wanted brats....with jalapenos and bacon....and you can't have bacon wrapped brats without onions, kraut and spicy mustard.. so the menu grew. :)

Fired up a few logs in the tractor rim...

Skewered the quail and seasoned with Tatonka Dust

wrapped a few of them in bacon...

and onto the fire to slow roast....

I split the store-bought brats, inserted slivers of jalapeno then wrapped them in bacon...

onto the fire with a skillet of onions in butter....

added the kraut to the onions....

                           

a jalapeno stuffed bacon wrapped brat with caramelized onions, kraut and spicy mustard...

I was a happy girl!! :)

A couple of roasted quail on a stick and a cold beer to wash it down, it was a perfect meal for sitting around the campfire that night.  I hate to say it but it was a heck of a lot better than a marshmallow on a stick. :)
