Post by: Willy on May 24, 2015, 07:22:48 PM
For my Son's Graduation from the University of Maryland I decided to do something special for him, Ladies and Gents may I present Daniel Christopher Schultz. Aerospace Engineer

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f138/bill_schultz/dan%20grad/DSC00847_zpspllqf1bq.jpg)

10 Lbs. Pork Belly trimmed and cut up for the grinder

Real File Spice ordered a couple of weeks ago, all the spices, Sweet Paprika, Cayenne, Garlic, Kosher,File, Thyme, Crushed red pepper

Through the grinder after being spiced

Stuffed and in the fridge to season for a day or so

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f138/bill_schultz/dan%20grad/DSC01712_zpsqv6yg0hj.jpg)

Stubbs and Cheery wood got the nod, arranged for a low 150 degree cook for a few hours so the fat does not render out and then graduate to around 200

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f138/bill_schultz/dan%20grad/DSC01714_zpshdmyod4z.jpg)

Done at 165 will rise a little after being removed. About 4.5 hrs. total

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f138/bill_schultz/dan%20grad/DSC01720_zps9pa51ptl.jpg)

The Gumbo triumvirate, diced onion, celery, green peppers

Congrats to you son.  Now get him a job and start contributing to our SS.  Just kidding. 

This has to be a really proud moment for you and your family.  Just remember, with cooks like your latest, he will want to stay home or close to home to get those good eats.
