HI Gang,
Summer was kinda crazy but I finally got to it.
I hope this post is fun and interesting for you and of course ,,, I have a few questions.
So I was so anxious to get started - I forgot to take the label off ! hahahaha
Ok, so here I start :-)
I got the bed of coals ready
Dropped in the coals - added a bunch more because I didn't think I had enough.
During the process I added some cut apple tree branches from the property, wet hickory wood chips, and some
split oak from the property :-)
Out with the mustard, Texas dry rub, and marinade for a day :-)
Did I mention a little red wine in the marinade?
I was able to keep temp between 200 and 300 but not able to keep it consistently around 225.
But I did manage for about 15-20 minutes but that's about it LOL
I cooked for 1.5 hours and mopped a few times,
The middle was very tender and juicy, the bark had a bit of kick to it.
The second piece was chopped and cooked in a stew - which was just as
delish !!
My better half loved it and can hardly wait till I do more, in fact, she insisted LOL
