I did a few searches and didn’t find anything that looked like it fit, so here I am with a question.
I have 6 pieces of meat that I’ve cured and am smoking. I’ve made some adaptations of one of Bearcarvers step by step’s, and love it. Usually all the pieces I process are approximately the same size, so it’s never been an issue, but this time I have 4 pieces of similar size (plus or minus <10% or so) and 2 pieces that are nearly double that size.
I ran 4 probes on my fireboard, all in the 4 smaller pieces, and planned to move the probes to the larger pieces when the smaller ones were done.
I got to thinking though, had I just gone by the largest piece, the end result would be the smaller pieces would just sit at the same temperatures as the larger pieces, but for a longer period of time. I guess my concern would be they would dry out quite a bit more than the larger pieces?
Thoughts?
