Bourbon glazed pork & smoked potatoes

BRush00

Subject said it all for me really.

Cooked at about 375/400 raised direct.
Smashed potatoes with blue cheese, bacon, green onion, and bacon grease. Molded the spuds onto a cedar plank and bam!

The pork's done with a light Montreal steak spice coat, with a bourbon maple glaze.

Lovin the planked potato idea. That goes on the list, thanks
Did you make the glaze or find a good commercial one?

Oh man! That all looks great! Did your potatoes get very smokey? I need to do them again as they turned out pretty good but my fire wasn't quite "clean" enough and the taters took a little more smoke than I wanted.

+1 on the potato planking. Looks great.

Man that looks awesome.  That is a really cool idea with the spuds and it gives you a pseudo-indirect and direct at the same time.

The spuds take on a really 'nice' amount of cedar smoke - not a ton, but enough that you notice it.

The bourbon glaze was mine; 3/4 cup of bourbon, 2 tbsp maple syrup, some brown sugar, a little mustard powder (why? No idea). Boil everything, then bring to a simmer to reduce.

Bookmarked- love the potato idea. Thinking I could also do in a skillet to get crispy edges and use chips for smoke...

Weird, not sure what happened here, but I can see my first (pork) photos on my phone, but then on my work computer - can't...

Just thought i'd throw the Pork pictures up again, incase people can't see them...

FWIW- I found that if you follow a link from a notification for some reason the pics don't show up. I still see 'em.
