Yes your post last week had me hooked to try. I though I had a pork butt in freezer but found the chuck roast instead. I have also seen this with chicken breast as the protein though I might go with thighs for shredding to sandwiches. [Reply]
Anyone or anyone's parents make Rumaki (bacon wrapped water chestnuts) back when it was popular? I loved them as a kid when moms made them for parties so I thought I'd try them BBQ style.
I soaked water chestnuts in soy sauce with a habanero overnight, wrapped them in bacon, put on a sweet/heat rub, threw them on the smoker and glazed them with around 15 minutes left. Like BBQ popcorn.

Yeah, they pick up some of the soy, but it's mostly a texture thing. I was thinking of adding/subbing something. Kielbasa could be good. I was also thinking maybe a poblano with the water chestnut, wrapped in bacon. [Reply]

Hell yeah. I used to make a variation of that using thin sliced venison, a slice of onion, slice of water chestnut, all marinated in soy/brown sugar, wrapped in bacon. It was a PIA to make, but man they got absolutely destroyed coming off the grill. I didn't even know there was a name for it.

Yours look very nice.
Oh damn, that sounds really good. Didn't even think of a thin sliced meat to add. Was your venison already cooked/cured beforehand?
Lol, I didn't know the name either. I googled it as I knew it was a known 80s and prior party treat. [Reply]

Nah, venison was uncooked going in. But it cooks very quickly when sliced thin. It soaks up the grease from the bacon and comes out just perfect. [Reply]
