I wanted to try the Cajun Power pork and beef stew mix so I made a big pot recently. In a big black pot, brown very well 2 packs of pork backbone and a small Boston Butt cut up into chunks seasoned with Cajun seasoning. Set aside and cook down the trinity, scraping the bottom of the pot to get the gradoux into your gravy. Add the large jar of Cajun Power and enough water to nearly cover. Add a good amount of roux to thicken and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours and serve over rice. It came out very good and you could cut the pork with a plastic fork it was so tender.

On one of the fastballs that whizzed over a batter’s head he said, “That’ll put a crease in your Stetson.” :lol:

Burn seasoned wood and oxygen is your friend to get a clean fire. Don’t choke your fire where you have a thick white smoke. It could make the meat taste bitter if cooked with too much thick smoke. Experiment with dampers on the firebox and chimney exhaust to get a clean burn with thin blue smoke out the chimney. Enjoy the process and don’t get frustrated if your first few cooks aren’t perfect. Have fun!
