Almonds, Cheese, Ribs, Burnt Ends, and Sausage

DMW

Started out with a slight trim on some spares:

They were still mostly frozen, put them in the fridge from freezer last night, so I used mustard as a binder for the rub to stick.
Rubbed with Head Country:


On the XL with cherry wood for smoke just after 10:00AM this morning:

Later I got the Hasty Bake Legacy setup with the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker:


And put on some almonds, Jarlsberg, Gouda, and pepper jack cheese:


Let the cheese go about 3 hours, and the almonds 4 hours. Both are vac sealed and will mellow for a few weeks.

I had some brisket point left from Wednesday, so I cubed that up and put them on for burnt ends. Just sauced them and also added some sage sausage to the XL:


My sister her family are coming over for supper tonight. Chances are I won't take and post more pictures, so I figured I'd go ahead and post now. Just waiting for things to finish up and them to arrive. And I'm getting hungry.

Robin, he's doing well, thanks for asking. I brought him home from the hospital on Wednesday. Both stents went well, his recovery looks good. He'll just need to take it easy for awhile, and that will take some adjusting for him, that's just not his style.

Sounds like a fun day . I haven't tried smoking nuts yet. Did you season them too or just smoke them ?

And wishing your dad an uneventful recovery.

Thanks @caliking. After smoking the nuts, I vac seal and let them mellow for a week or so. Then I season them and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes. I think you might have Ruhlman's Charcuterie, the recipe I use is from there.
