- We have had several people ask us for some details on how we smoke our pork belly, ham and hocks here at The Crouch Ranch. Here is a video that breaks down how we do it! These pork belly slabs and hocks came from one of our own hogs that we raised right here on the farm with lot's of tender love and care. Let's walk through the temperature and use of applewood and rosemary smoke while we chat a little about whatever comes to mind.... Yes, you can make your own bacon and ham hocks ! Enjoy :)

That cameraman deserves an a award.
Thumbnail is amazing!
Really like the videos where Mike explains pork cuts...seems like he knows his shit about pork belly.
Lot of people, especially up north,, don't know pork belly from bacon, from pancetta, from ham ECT.
ACTUALLY learned a lot from the pork videos.
Thank you! (Mike)
My wife's name is "3 horses," (nag nag nag)....
She says MY Indian name is "Walking Eagle" because I'm so full of shit I couldn't possibly fly. Lol
😝
I have that same smoker. I've smoked and grilled a lot and it always comes out perfect. Great smoker to hang around and drink with friends and smell the goodness coming out the smoker.
Yep 👍🏻 we love it and thanks for watching
I'll tell you what your wife is an amazing person. U have got to be the luckiest man alive. God bless you and your family man.
😃 well thanks for the compliment and I’ll make sure he rewards this comment 😝
Mike, you lucky dog.

Hey buddy, don't worry about the critisizm, she is beautiful and you are right about it.
Well you might have the fire at 150 degrees but Syd is OMG probably 1000 smoking degrees!!!! Ohh my lord I love that woman.
Everytime I watch a new video I think to myself how in the hell does this absolutely stunningly beautiful lady not melt everything around her seriously like how do the plants and house not just spontaneously combust and burst into flames and leave the earth scorched everywhere she walks!!! I've said it before and Ill said again again, that woman is 100% PERFECTION.
Wow 😮 quite the compliment.... thank you
Ok, on the eight try, and over two weeks, I finally made it all the way through this video. The chicken plucking pool scene is a close second to this one.

Great idea smoking ham hocks before throwing into pea soup and great idea adding maple syrup. Saw some great Bacon, ham hocks and butt :-)

HAD TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT YOU WERE SMOKING PORK BELLY. FOR SOME REASON I KEPT THINKING IT WAS BUTT. NOT QUITE THE IMAGE I WANT FOR MY BACON TUTORIAL. GOOD LUCK! IT WAS FUNNY. I WILL GIVE YOU THAT..LOL
Pork butt is a thing ... it’s actually the shoulder and what is most used for pulled pork and can be smoked and is delicious 😋 thanks for watching
Thanks for taking the time to share your methods and ideas.......
Thanks for watching 😉
I like the way you set up the smoker channels, never smoked my own meat before was cruising the you tubes to see about it, nice set up you have there.
Thanks and thanks for watching
Amazing!! Tried this and people won’t stop talking about how good it turned out! Doing another one today 😋
Awesome ! I love that !
Yeah that made me hungry all right. At first I was wondering why you were glazing the meat so early...you know, the fear of burning. Then it dawned on me...you're not trying to cook it all the way. Well, what do you expect...it's after 1 in the morning. LOL Thanks for posting. Looks awesome!
😝 the dangers of 1am 🤣🤣
Great scenery , cant get enough of these videos,

😝 thanks 😎

🤣👍🏻
Yes she's perfect.
Great video guys, loved the smoke diffuser, good idea, and by the way, that is nowhere near Winter, lol
It’s so cal winter 😝
The majority of your videos are showing your lady,I wonder why.LOL🔥🔥🔥👍😜
Whatever gives you likes. Lol
Because her ass is wayyyyy better to look at. Wait, what was this video about?
you describing a sweat lodge. each session is generally called a door, pending on the medicine man or shaman. the little things in the tree are prayer ties. the "herbs" are most likly bear root(osha root), sage, ceder,sweet grass and willow bark, non of which are a hallucinogen. the safest spot to breath in a sweat is to put a cloth over ones mouth and go as low as you can go to the ground or between your legs. being you where doing this with the Nez Perce, there may have been some cactus thrown in there. just clearing up some things. but your spot on with the description.
Thanks and thanks for watching but this was in the 70’s or early 80’s ... so maybe something else in that smoke 🤣🤣
Beautiful smoker dame i need one just like hers.
🤣 thanks
No pork bellies in sight but truly a smoking video....
🤣🤣🤣
slow cook is the best taste ,i do that almost al the time
thanks for the video and thumbs up for this and more video,s to follow
Thanks and thanks for watching 👍🏻
So if this is like my brinkmann, I suggest you turn the ash grate around. It has a channel that will butt against the opening of the firebox and it will drag the smoke across your smoker. Use your bricks on the middle and right side and don’t use the wire internal handle on the right hand side for elevation. Oh and thank you for sharing beauty.
Also suggest going to your hardware store and picking up some fireplace rope, this will help your smoke.
Great camera work. Great view of everything.
😝 thanks for watching
I like the gap.
Home made maple ham and bacon YUUMMMMM !! have you guys ever seen snow where you are? I've seen snow in Julian and the Cuyamacas but not there.
Yes … it snows her every couple years .
Lol winter is out spring is in the air and we are in the Great White North better known as the Great Lakes State
Man that looks like some real good eating right there...
It was yummy !
Nice.. Great smoking tips too..
Lol your wife is such a smart ass I LOVE IT! GREAT PERSONALITY and a pleasure to gawk at since she’s finer than a frogs hair!!!!! Damn I’d drink her bath water lol 😂
I’m a little late to the party. Got distracted by the thumbnail. Great camera work haha!

Just came across your channel, Great to see a nice young MEAT EATIN couple especially from California with all the TREE & BUNNY huggers out there!! Does Mike Deer Hunt?
He has ... but not recently... grew up in Tennessee doing it

Timberlake halftime or Crouch Ranch.....yeah, no brainer...Crouch Ranch wins every single time!
Lol 😝 thanks .... he’s a better singer than I am though 🤣🤣
TheCrouchRanch depends upon the ear the music/noise falls upon. You're much better entertainment than Timberlake.
🤣🤣
I think I love her!!
No i love her ! Im her second husband 😆
😝 welcome to Utah
Damn, that looks great! Great job!
Thanks
Greetings from Sweet Home Alabama....Enjoy your videos! Build yourself a smokehouse, you will not be sorry!
It’s in the list of eventually 😉
Understand completely! I think we all have that list! The smokehouse was a real game changer for us though.....ours is 4'x4' and about 7' tall, so it's plenty big for half hogs or deer or whatever. 6 whole bellies at a time with no problem. Fold up shelf for jerky, chickens, turkey, fish whatever.
Sounds great ! Yes it’s such a long list 🤣🤣
Yep, sure my list will outlast me! Damn list will be laughing when they lower me in the ground! Job security, I guess. Keep up the good work! Holler if you ever get down this way! We'll burn some meat, sip some whiskey, drink a few beers and lounge in the spring fed pool.
Roger 😉👍🏻
I used to have a Weber vertical smoker. I found it really hard to keep a steady heat. It was either too hot or not hot enough. I was still able to get the job done but you had to baby sit the smoker. You have a great smoker and know how to use it. Apple wood was my choice wood to use as well. I bet your bacon is the best around !! What more could a guy ask for ? Smoked bacon and a smoking hot trophy wife !! :)
😝 yep it’s a great smoker and I’m getting used to my title 🤣🤣🤣
GOOD VIDEO!!! WE NEED TO SEE YOUR ARM WORKOUT NEXT!!!!
lol thanks 🤣💪🏼
that meat ain’t the only thing smokin’ in this video..
😂
TheCrouchRanch sorry.. couldn’t resist lol
that looks so good I love it
Thanks for watching
GRILL TIP FROM A ER NURSE !!!!! Do not use wire brushes on a grill ! I have had 2 patients
that ate food with small pieces of wire that caused serious problems. One got caught
in throat cavity and the other in the stomach lining.
J.K. Cooke They do sell wooden grill cleaners nowadays. After using them once or twice they fit your grill perfectly and clean better than wire brushes.
Nice meat. Oh the smoker too!
🤣🤣🤣
New sub... Congrats on landing her!
Like I’m a plane ✈️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😮 like the pants!
Derek Comingo creepy
The grill isn't the only thing smoking in this video!! I rubbed some meat after watching

Greetings from an Appalachian Gridder,,,,
