Merwin Kokes
« on: June 01, 2023, 05:53:35 PM »
Smokin Kokes in the new Brunswick smoker. So far so good. 6hrs @ 150* cooling down now. Also, I bought a bag of smelt 🤫🤫🤫 tried to see if it would taste like it did growing up. That would be a negative. They might be smelt, but they’re not. The candle lighters that we got have here in the Pacific Northwest.
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

 :tup: Thanks

I really don’t worry about the pin bones. As long as I remove most or all rib bones, I’m good.  :twocents:

I have not had smelt since I was about 10 years old! Our family use to got to Ocean Shores, and the Pacific Beaches to dip nets. There were so many that while my Dad used the dip net, us kids would wade out and flip them up on the beach with our hands. You could feel them running into your legs.
Fried up smelt is like eating a crispy fish potato chip  :chuckle:
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

That’s a awesome memory.

For me going on the cow or sandy 1-2 dips equaled 10lbs. My grandfather would use the little chief and smoked them up. I remember yelling grandma, look she’d turned around and I’d be biting their heads off. She’d say oh Michael that’s nasty😂😂😂👍
