Yea like Tonto said, ya need to spray that meat with something that will create a crust, something with sugar like apple juice or so, Also IMHO I really donâ€8482t think us guys with the electric or gas smokers really get a crust as prominent as the stick/chunk burners will get anyhow! Course, I...
I read this earlier, that sodium nitrate appears naturally in lots of veggies, so that would make perfectly good sense, now if we can only get some details!

If you are using the loins for sammiches, I wouldnâ€8482t even reheat, treat em like fancy lunchmeat…thatâ€8482s just me! (saves them from drying out)
On a bird that big, you might wanna consider putting about 1/4 tsp./lb. Prague #1 in your brine to kinda cut down on bacteria growth while youâ€8482re trying to get that bird out of the danger zone. Mine wasnâ€8482t hammy tasting, but very rich tasting, more like dark meat tastes! Try it some...
To be on the safe side, I would allow myself more than 1 day to smoke! Itâ€8482s probably gonna take ya 4-5 hours just to slice it. If I figured right, 1/4 lb. meat per person. 300 people…thatâ€8482s 9 pork loins at 8 lbs. each. 3-4 hours each! yeah, more than 1 day!
Al,
Another way to go might be to smoke a pork loin or 2 and maybe make Dutch’s Mahogany Sauce (fine eating) remember that pork butts gonna taste like a big juicy fat pork chop not ham. I did a butt to slice a few weeks ago for hot roast pork sammiches & gravy, but the wife & grandkids are...
Maybe you got prime rib ribs last year (really) and maybe these aren’t from the same area this time and maybe they did peel em for ya last year!
Age of steer has an effect too!
p.s. ask butcher specifically for prime rib ribs (probably cost more, so what?)
Well…they might brine em or rub em for a couple days in fridge, or they might partially smoke them to tender, then finish next day to firm up! There are all kinds of tricks!
Ya might wanna consider some turkeys-or turkey breasts (start watching for sales-right after easter they are dirt cheap!) they take pretty much same time (especially if ya split em!) alot easier to carve too! Plus some butts! Or how about a couple whole pork loins (get em on sale cheap at Sams...
Man, Thatâ€8482s a lot of chicken! I would think that a chicken wouldnâ€8482t serve more than 6 people-that makes 50 chickens. I would try to talk her into pulled pork & briskets myself! What kind of smoker are you going to use! Do you think you are ready for something that big?
