“and they did feast feast feast and they ate the roast beast…”
Snagged a 12 lb-er @ $8.99. Monday evening I trimmed the fat cap and mostly separated the bones. Salted it heavily and wrapped in plastic wrap till Christmas Eve afternoon. Unwrapoed and hit it...
He substitutes 1/4 cup of honey in place of the brown sugar, and he suggests 2 tbsp of crushed red pepper instead of 1 teaspoon. Also, I didn't find Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning by the time I needed it. So, I found a very clean Cajun seasoning called Cajun Trinity containing only four...
Thanks! I'm extremely pleased with the results. Much better than doing it via the crock pot!
I've saved the recipe for finishingsauce from soflaquer for future reference trials.
Interesting to see if the membrane peels right off and how seasoning after cooking turns out. Saucing would be the same, being at the end over heat. I just hope it is much better in it's original cryovac bag than like my ex FIL that boiled slabs in 1/3rds and finishing on the grill with...
Finishingsauce!
The FinishingSauce I use is as follows:
1 Cup Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Course Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
It was fast and furious once the line formed and only got to snap 1 Pic.
They all turned out good and seemed to be enjoyed by the crew.
Served up with finishingsauce and an assortment of Myron Mixon sauces.
Thanks for lookin!

That finishingsauce is killer! Vac sealing is key if you want storage for more than a month or two. I bought my first FoodSaver like 27 yrs ago. It lasted 25 yrs. I...

I dont recall the lbs but smoked it until 208 degrees IT
Unfortunately, I did not catch a photo of the "finishing sauce", but I poured 1 part Frank's Hot Sauce to 2 parts apple cider Vinegar.

...was moist. I think there was about 4 1/3 pounds of pork. I pulled it and added some of the sauce/juice from the pan, and some of JJ's Finishingsauce...
I tried it plain, with Jeff's BBQ sauce recipe, and with JJ's finishingsauce. I really liked it with either of the sauces. My wife...
I wish I had the space for a chamber sealer. I hunt each year and bag 3-5 animals (deer and pigs) per year and the chamber sealer would take me forever but I still love the idea of it!
...is mostly to prevent the bark from getting burned, so I'm holding off, until the meat is darker.
I'm a little concerned with the finishingsauce and whether I should be prepared to make the JJ's finishingsauce that many people seem to like (It is more of a vinegar sauce, vs this broth/cider...

That is the perfect doneness for my taste.
Christmas dinner for my wife and I was two nice size filets seared in butter, garlic, and rosemary, finished in the oven to 130* internal.
(I'll take them out at 127* next time, they were a touch over done from me).

...just using a rub, cooking at a single temp, cooking with split temps, etc.
With my first butt, the plan was for a rub, and a finishingsauce based on broth for boating at the last stages.
I hit a few problems. First, the finishingsauce was to be placed in the smoker in a pan to render in...
