i used to add a bunch of stuff to my burgers. it got so bad that the burgers patties wouldn't even hold together on the grill anymore. now, i just buy some 85/15, patty it out and season the outside. it's much better this way. less is more.
i've started using japanese dark soy and i like it much better. just make sure that hydrolyzed vegetable protein is not in the ingredients. as far a the worchetershire... i like anchovies in it. the vegetarian stuff doesn't taste right to me.
i know a guy who does this. he pre-smokes ribs, then shows up the next day and tosses them on the smoker again to reheat. it always seemed like a great idea to me.
what they said. hickory is also a good wood option. if i were you, i would do the briskets/butts a day ahead. a good size packer can take 24 hours (or more). just reheat the next day with a good finishing sauce (ala - soflaquers). do the ribs and chicken the day of, b/c they're much more...
it's funny in the end when they're all patting each other on the back, congratulating themselves on what a great job they did. grubbing down with huge smiles b/c they're so darn proud.
a fattie is made with grind and any bacteria that once was on the outside would be mixed in upon grinding, so it would need to come to 165* internally to be considered safe by VA state law. depending on the size of it though, you'd probably hit 165* in under 4 hours anyway.
i'm 30. i've been rocking the ECB for about three years. i converted to propane some time ago and never looked back. all hail propane! probably going to pick up a CGSP in a week or so... planning on installing the afterburner in that one too!
i've never thrown away any meat. i've seen a few posts on here that describe folks throwing meat in the trash and i've never understood that. anyway - about butts... like others have mentioned, no matter how small the cut is, it seems to take almost as long as any other sized butt. i.e. no less...
beard makes a good point. but, other than more charcoal, there's only one thing that can make a fire hotter, and that's more air. if you need more air than your set-up can provide, don't be scared to pop a couple holes in the fire box. make sure you don't go crazy with holes though. also, lump...
most anything will "work". the brine it def a great idea for something that lean (and thick). try not to over-cook it or it'll be dry eatin'. seriously, be careful not to over-cook it.
