I finally decided to do my first overnight smoke tonight. I picked up two great looking 8# butts earlier in the week. I brined them on Friday night in my usual brine of pickling salt and molasses. I pulled them out early this morning and gave them some drying time in the fridge for the day.
Here they are right after coming out of the brine
I need to get a rack to dry things on.. Instead I use an old broiler pan...
I pulled them out of the brine about 9am this morning and put the in the fridge to dry. I let them dry until around 4pm and made up some rub.
The rub I used is
Hungarian Sweet Paprika
Chili Powder
Hawaiian Red Salt
Black pepper
Colemans Dry Mustard
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Brown Sugar
These are the rubbed butts getting ready for some more rest with the rub on them
I got the smoker started up around 930pm and by 10 the butts were getting some smoke
I'm spraying them with a 50/50 rum and apple spray every 30-45 minutes...
I'll be in the chat room most of the evening. Stop by and say hi
