I ended up with the finished consistency you describe. Additionally, you need to use a curing agent...

    Chuck Short Ribs

    Those look fantastic. I have a rack of them I picked up at BJ's a couple weeks ago in the freezer. They may have to come out now and hit the smoker.

    Goetta Pork Sausage

    Seems that's an acquired taste. Tried it and didn't care for it, but haven't been in PA that long. My tastes are more Midwestern.

    Boneless pork loin ham

    This tends to be sweeter than CB. Usually season CB with onion and garlic powder before smoking. This has no rub prior to smoking.

    Boneless pork loin ham

    I used Pop's brine recipe with some maple syrup and clove added. I injected both chunks of loin and brined for 15 days.
