Meats

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Select Your Meats

    Choose any three types of meats from the options provided: rib bones, pulled pork butt, smoked pit ham, hand-cranked sausage, turkey breast, or smoked vegan jackfruit.

  2. 2

    Prepare Rib Bones

    If using rib bones, season them with your favorite dry rub and let them sit for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pulled Pork Butt

    Rub the pork butt with a mix of spices (paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper) and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Prepare Smoked Pit Ham

    Score the surface of the ham and rub it with brown sugar and mustard. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  5. 5

    Prepare Hand-Cranked Sausage

    If using fresh sausage, prick them with a fork to avoid bursting during cooking. Season with herbs if necessary.

  6. 6

    Prepare Turkey Breast

    Brine the turkey breast in a saltwater solution for at least 4 hours to ensure moisture before smoking or roasting.

  7. 7

    Prepare Smoked Vegan Jackfruit

    Drain and rinse jackfruit, and marinate in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Cooking

  1. 8

    Cook Rib Bones

    Smoke the rib bones at 225°F (107°C) for 3-4 hours until tender and the meat pulls away from the bone.

  2. 9

    Cook Pulled Pork Butt

    Smoke the pork butt at 225°F (107°C) for about 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C). Shred with two forks when done.

  3. 10

    Cook Smoked Pit Ham

    Bake the ham at 325°F (163°C) for about 15 minutes per pound, or until heated through, basting with juices periodically.

  4. 11

    Cook Hand-Cranked Sausage

    Grill or pan-fry the sausage over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning until cooked through.

  5. 12

    Cook Turkey Breast

    Roast the turkey breast at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 13

    Cook Smoked Vegan Jackfruit

    Sauté the marinated jackfruit in a pan over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.
