I haven't smoked a lot on the SmokeFire. My first efforts were discouraging and I'm trying to lose weight. Again.
Top round was on sale and I had a hankering. I bought a nice four-pounder and rubbed in some SPOG. Wrapped in butcher paper, it went into the fridge for a good night's sleep.
Next day, after five hours(!) at 225° F it finally hit the perfect 135° F internal temperature. It came out for a tin foil wrap and a 45 minute rest in a lukewarm pizza oven.
It was warm and jiggly. I just had to cut into it for a peek inside.
Sure, the presentation needs work but, wow! A wall of uniform pink through and through and not bloody. PERFECT for slicing!
This... THIS is the meat I've been dreaming of. Yearning for. Warm. Tender. Juicy. It melts in your mouth and pops with flavor. Just perfect
I did a couple of double-cut, extra-thick pork chops and some chicken cutlets along with them. The chops were so good that my wife and I wolfed them down before I could snap a pix. The cutlets were toast and barely worthy of Daisy the Wonderdog but she's laughing.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did eating it!
