How to have a fun and exciting day:
1. Your entire office network connections will be turned off at 7:30am (you start work at 7:00am)
2. Your team lead informs you that all of your production SQL Servers seem to be down (no alerts on your work phone about this)
2.5. You also find out that several other servers you're not responsible for and that aren't SQL were also down
3. You get all your production servers up and working again at 7:28am
4. You then try to after-action / what happened using a cellular / wifi device that is being shared with 4 other people
5. You figure out what apparently happened (and it wasn't anything you could've caught in advance,) with about 20 minutes to spare before the retirement ceremony for the division boss
6. Your team lead tells you to finish out the day teleworking as the office network is still down and isn't scheduled to be back up until 3:30pm
7. The office network came back up about the time you got home and hooked up to work...
Of course, the good news is that when you spot-checked some of the databases for corruption from the outage (storage disconnected from the VMWare) they came up clean. You, of course, still scheduled a CHECKDB of all your databases for this evening...
I would've preferred to run the checkdbs immediately, but some of the servers have databases big enough to take ~20hrs to run the regularly scheduled checkdb (Gianluca's dba_checkdb script)...

Ah.... haven't tried it but my imagination is going....Save the liquid. Then, after its cool enough, put it in the fridg and wait for any fat to surface. Skim off the hard fat and make some Barley soup with it the liquid that remains. Either that or (yum) good gravy!

I certainly didn't say discard it. π This is the guy who uses bacon fat instead of butter for many many things. I save the drippings from lots of stuff. I didn't save it this time as it was an experiment and I fear the liquid would be overly sweet with all the sugar in it. But definitely the fat on the top would at least make for some yummy oils. Think cooking eggs in this instead of butter. Or even on toast.

Haha biscuits and gravy is my father's weakness. At least once or twice a year I make him about 2 gallons of sausage gravy and freeze it in smaller ziplock bags so he can thaw it and have 2-3 worth in a single bag. Makes it really easy if you have good gravy, then even the biscuits in a tube are pretty good.

I grew up with a big "strainer" of bacon grease on the stove. That was what everything was cooked in. I'm really hungry now.

I use bacon grease instead of butter when making cookies. My last batch of cookies was bacon chocolate chip cookies. And the insanity didn't stop there. Oh no. I actually baked one large cookie in the bottom of a 10" spring form pan and the rest of the dough as cookies. Then made up my cheesecake and crumbled up the cookies into the batter using the cookie as the crust. Topped it off with ganache and some more bacon bits. All together it was 1 1/2 pounds of bacon in a single 10" cheesecake. This was for a charity auction. I did pull out just enough batter to cook myself a 4" cheesecake which I promptly devoured.

There is definitely some smokey magic happening. Here is how I made these.
Cut up a pork belly into ~1" cubes. Apply a liberal amount of dry rub to cover all the surfaces. Then on the smoker at 275 for about 2 1/2 hours. I used apple for this round but any fruit wood would work well.
Transfer the cubes to an aluminum pan.
cover the cubes with:
~1/2 - 3/4 C brown sugar
1 stick of butter chopped up
drizzle with honey.
Cover the pan and put back on the smoker for another 90 minutes.
You will want to drain off the liquid at this point.In a separate bowl mix:
1 C bbq sauce
~1/2 C apple juice
~ 1/2 C apple jelly
~1-2 T franks hot sauce
Pour the glaze over the drained cubes, cover and put back on the smoker for another 10 minutes or so.
The fat parts just melt in your mouth and the meaty parts are little sweet nuggets of jerky. Well worth the effort.Very nice, Sean. Thanks for sharing the recipe and technique. It's the brown sugar and honey at 275 that produces the char. You won't get a deep bark from only 2 1/2 hours, but the sugar will work nicely. I like the addition of just a hint of heat from the hot sauce, but not enough that it'll knock my daughter over just by looking at it.
Thanks again. You've made me want to fire up mine. It's still pretty new, so it doesn't have the years of seasoning inside, but it sure does look nice.
I replaced my old one as it literally fell apart. The ring in the bottom to hold the burner fell on the ground. Amazingly when I put it at the curb somebody picked it up within a few minutes. Not sure what they would do with it since there is nowhere near enough material to weld it or anything.
As for spice level both my boys gobbled this stuff down (ages 9 and 12). And they both do not even pretend to like anything spicy. Let me know how this turns out for you if you try it.
Any suggestions for my next experiment?
I had the Smoky Mountain out in the middle of last month on the first dry Saturday we'd had. Unfortunately it was -4 C and there was a gusty wind so getting any consistent temperature was tricky. As Mrs B pointed out, many of the states where smoking is big can have daytime temperatures nearly halfway to smoking heat before any charcoal is lit, so I was fighting with one hand behind my back in those conditions. On the plus side, the Welsh Black brisket I had was nice and fatty and the closest thing I've seen to American cut brisket and I got some good results. I also had a major success at the first attempt with my Jack Daniel's sauce. I'm hoping to get the smoker out a lot more this year but it all depends on the weather.

Have you tried smoked mac and cheese? I may have some notes on it at home, which I'll try to find tonight. I really need to formalize it into a recipe.

Baking with it just like using lard. I mean the fat comes from the same animal, it just has that awesome smoky bacon flavor where lard tastes like cardboard. I would only use it in those places where you want that kind of flavor.
