    Regardless of the cut of meat, I liked the fact it was all meat, no yucky bell peppers ruining the entire kabob.

    Growing up, my sister and I had a word for the chunks of bell pepper our evil step-mother liked to put into almost everything.
    We called them "Green Ickies".

    I know how ridiculous this sounds, because I am a meat eater...but the thought of heart makes me squeamish. (Go figure, since I love chicken liver and foie gras.) SGH, your description of how to select one did NOT help at all! Having said that, it looks like a great cook and kudos to you @DMW for branching out. Nice job! Also, huge props on the weight loss...here's to many more years with with your big guy!

    The best coney dog in the world is from American coney in Detroit Michigan. The meat they use in their chili is beef heart and it is Awesome.

    I have been making chili with smoked brisket a lot lately but thanks to this thread I am going to use a beef heart next weekend for the chili, but I need help on how to smoke a whole heart. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I wish I could help you on how to do it whole. That was what I wanted to do, but from the research I did the muscle is rather lean and I'm not sure how it would lend itself to a low and slow smoke.

    I have a feeling @SGH might be able to help with this question.

    Bump for response when time allows.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    My brother in laws dad used to eat deer hearts. If one of us killed a deer and didn't save him the heart he would get real pissed off. God rest his soul.
