First day off in months. Smoking meat and watching football. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

It sounds like you are having fun. Though, I never did engage in the practice myself.

Football was a big disappointment, but the meat turned out well.

All backstraps. Generously rubbed with ground pepper. Then slathered with cheap mustard and allowed to marinade. Then wrapped with a cheap bacon weaved blanket. Then smoked for half a day with a combination of mesquite, hickory and pecan.

The bacon's a loss, but the backstrap is great.
