A friend made me a rub for the venison he gave me. But I would use salt pepper with maybe a bit of dried onion and a little garlic powder if I did it again. Very simple and not over bearing with flavor. If I do merinade i go with straight Worcester sauce in a baggie over night
Made a second batch on NYE and this time I tweaked the filling I added garlic powder and italian seasoning mix and a few dashes of hot sauce. Was much better the second time around, the first time although good it was a little flat.
Looks awesome! Welcome to the addiction. Soon you will be smoking everything in site and pondering how even the best of meals would be better if it were smoked.
I spritz about 4 times during the smoke after the initial 3 hours or so. With my 40" gasser my chips burn off way to fast so after 2 or so hours I have to replenish the chips. That's when I spritz. And only like 2 pumps of a fine spray nothing crazy. Still a working out all the kinks, but...
Great job! Best part of pork is that it is very forgiving. I was told that a couple of months ago by the smoking vets here and it couldn't be more true. Another important question what was the beverage of choice for this smoke?
Thanks! The Sprite worked I left a few unsoaked for the people who can handle heat and they said they had the right amount of heat. The soaked had very little to no heat at all.
The finished product. Just a taste of spice nothing more and got rave reviews. I keep this up I will be catering everywhere we go. The pink one was broiled a bit longer. It wasn't done done because I hid that one under a slice of leftover bacon.
