  ... I was under the impression that we need to go from 40° to 145° in 4 hr. to keep Botulism from forming. Did you "cure" it

 , any kind of way?

Am I missing something here or what.

Hey Stan - You are correct & are not missing anything. I was in a hurry & should have been more specific earlier.

  He cured the meat in a brine for a couple weeks before he brought it to me & it was injected at the time it was placed in the brine. He wants it to be smoked for a few hours at lower temps before cooking it the whole way which is why I don't have the temp up yet. It is currently at 126* Will let it go a little longer then bring up the temp & cook it the whole way. Hope that makes sense

Well he came to pick it up & tried it out. He really liked it & asked if I could smoke him some more. I said sure & he said hang on. He just "happened" to have another piece with him

You can't beat that deal B!!!

One of my employees brought me a hind quarter early in the season.  I have it in the freezer and am still undecided on what to do with it...

What IT did you cook to? Also, were these deboned, and just brine, or injected also?

They were injected. I took them to 155 IT pulled them & wrapped. They went to 159 on their own from the carry over cooking. Really good eating
