Gary's brother came to visit us last weekend, and Gary decided to re-enact a previous smoker experiment, the bacon torpedo.
With the amount of pork related products that go in this, I feel like I'm on epic meal time!
This is how it all went together:
1.5 lbs of Brother's smoked bacon, thick cut (3/16th in.) is weaved flat on a surface.
2.5 lbs ground and seasoned pork shoulder is spread over weave.
6 slices of smoked bacon fried and crumbled over ground pork.
The torpedo is then rolled and tied shut with butcher twine.
Because it takes about 10 hours to smoke the gargantuan mass of pork, Gary usually prepares it the night before hand. Note the ribs in the background of the following picture. They were smoked as well, I'll blog about those another time.
At 11am the following morning (he was running a little late :)) Gary got the smoker on the go and on went the torpedo.
Aft about 4 hours, I decided it was time for a pic.
And by about 9:30pm, off came the beast!
This is how it looked once sliced.
It was quite delicious indeed and we have enough in the deep freeze for a few more meals! Next time we'll just invite a bunch of people over. Enjoy it all that night and have no leftovers.
If you have any questions or maybe some suggestions or modifications, please feel free to comment!
Happy Eating!
