180 is a bit high. If the casing is filling with grease then you are definitely going too high on IT. The goal is to cook the meat without rendering the fat. I always go to 152 IT on them then immediately into an ice water bath til it cools. I have a few wrinkles but not much.
Can she explain exactly whats harmful in it and what effect it has? I'm interested. Not that I'd change anyway... Everything is harmful these days, just depends on who's telling it.
I always thought gin tasted like the smell of pledge. Is that the taste of juniper? I never tried it but it was on my list to try, literally on my dry erase board shopping list lol.
Looks great. What did you end up going up to for IT? I did mine the same as yours with the brine and went to 152 and it came out just right for me and everyone tore it up.
To get the smoked one better, try letting it cool over night then steaming it back up to temp the next day, whole. I just did 1 that way and it came out awesome.
