I often brine pork - butts and csr's. I like to play with flavors, and if it's tenderer, just a bonus. don't brine a piece of pork that's already been in some sort of solution in the package. my xmas pork post has a rough outline of one of my brines...
I have a Cookshack Smokette, similar to Scar's Smokin' Tex. New they're darn pricey; don't forget to check out Craigslist, that's where I got mine. I have to cook on a deck, and live on the wet side of washington. Electric is best for me right now. How much space do you have? How much time do...
You might not need to spray at all. But you can water down some bourbon, or any fruit juice you like, apricot tends to be not as sweet as some. The nectars in the Mexican food aisle are handy for cooking (and mimosas). I often use peach or apricot along with some bourbon if I foil, or I use...
I do a rub overnight, mine are very light on sugar and salt, as a rule. I often brine them, too. You'll find LOTS of good tips and recipes here, just do a little searching and browsing around the forum. What kind of smoker are you using? Where (roughly) do you live? What kind of fuel/wood are...
Looking Good!! Costco had some nice tri-tips last week and I didn't get 'em. Now I have to back! Nice job!! Can you give wifey the cuts from the small end? That's what I do for my "I prefer medium" hubby. Or I pull @ rare to rest; after the juices have had time to settle a bit, I cut a chunk...
Hey! Good job there, Edmonds! Always glad to see more smoke from our neck of the woods. There's plenty of good butchers in our area who make sausages - go find a favorite and you'll really be glad! I used to drive to Silvana Meats from Everett just for their fresh bratwurst. I want to make my...
NIIIICE!! I'm gonna have to put this on the short list, now! I love mine rare, too. Thanks for a great q-view and the clear explanation on the reverse sear. Cheers!
Until recently I'd never bought a sauce, except for buying a gallon or so for bigger parties from my fave local joint (sadly out of business), but hearing folks talk about some here on the forum got me curious. The best I've found so far is a local guy here in Western WA, Biff's BBQ Sauce. It...
We had beef ribs, spares and bratwursts for our daughters 2nd birthday (18 years ago!). Great time had by all. Did the ribs ahead and rewarmed them, sauced, in covered foil pans. The brats were parboiled in beer, then grilled just to brown and flavor them up. I was still pretty much a q-noob...
