Hey Naes......RE: the carrots and lettuce leaves---Bend Over.

Soddy, I too often smoke turkey (yeah, I know, its hard to light)....I use a supply of apple wood atop the charcoal, fill the steamer pan with cider and chopped apples, and "stuff" the bird with apples too. Have you tried smoking with oranges? Another winner.

For those of you who don't like turkey.............

Spaw's Black Walnut Pork Roast

You can use any pork roast you like, but a nice tenderloin is hard to beat. Make up the following "goo"

1 Cup chopped black walnuts
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 Cup Chopped Apples
1/2 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Apple Butter
Dash of GROUND Nutmeg, Allspice, Clove.
1 teaspoon salt

Slice the roast lengthwise to create TWO long pockets and pack them full of the "goo." Tie it up as best possible and then cover the entire roast in the remainder of the goo. Use an appropriate pan, add about a 1/2 cup of water, and cover it with foil. Bake at 375 at 25 minutes per pound.

Cool slightly then slice and serve. The residue in the pan and the cutting board scrap can be additionally moistened as necessary and poured over each piece

Black Walnuts, Apples, and Pork were made for each other.
