    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    No it is not.  But the effect of evaporative loss could be observed around the meat because the meat is transferring energy out to a cooler area.  (Infrared energy moves from higher energy to lower energy.  But for the stall to happen it has to be happening at resonant frequency.  Some meats...

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    Would love to, but that requires you to have a degree in Spectroscopy or we are going to be here for a long time.  As far as amylase and Maillard, just look em up.  You will be surprised what you learn doing a little research to educate yourself on something someone said.  Then ask questions if...

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    This is caused by being so far above the water activity boiling point. You move from slow water activity to the higher level in the steam tables. All cooking is water activity, temperature decides what phase the molecule is in. Sometimes referred to as state.

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    You will need to review a little on fluid oscillation as well. The water activity goes high and low as the infrared energy pushes from molecule and exits to the next. If they reach resonance where the energy added by the heat source equals the energy into the item heating which equals the...

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    That is correct. Maillard reaction takes place at all temperatures it just takes longer.

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    Yes anything that disrupts the thermal energy current moving in the same path does it. Sometimes just flipping them is enough

    Pork Shoulder took 36 hours to smoke - Why?

    Water activity hysteresis equilibrium stall. Mallard reaction takes place at all temperatures. Just slower when lower. Basically the water activity reaches a resonant frequency where energy in equals energy passed through. Evaporation stalls so time rise stalls. Easiest way to change it stab...

    Smokin in the Rockies August 12th through 14th Rocky Mountain Regional SMF Gathering

    I am going to have to cancel this event.  The company I am the engineer for has decided to close its doors as of last Friday.  I will need to concentrate on Finding work. Sorry for the short notice, but these things happen in this economy. Catering company is way down so I don't have a large...

    Sloooooow Motion Forum Today! Anyone else having issues?

    The orange juice overhead and sidebar thing is back.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

    Fast things ready for a putt, momma loaded up!

    It rained yesterday so I spent the day changing oil, replacing brake pads and generally pollishing and cleaning the machine. Since it was an out of state title I am stuck with the paper plates for another month..... but we are cruise ready!
