I've been running a Masterbuilt electric 30" analog smoker for a couple of years. I love it. I had to replace the burner, but the universal one I got must be a higher wattage because it's easier to get to and keep temp than it ever was. I've learned a lot from this site and have made the best ribs and pulled pork ever using Meathead's Memphis dust and his Last Meal rib recipe. My wife 'didn't' like pulled pork until she tasted some I smoked last year. She'd a fan of this site now also.
So, I'm in Memphis and it's almost illegal to use any beef except steaks or hamburgers. I just picked up a 9lb flat to put on the smoker early on the 4th. My biggest question is about dry brining...and this even applies to my pork too.
Can you dry brine too long? Since I have the brisket, I could trim and salt it today. So it would be 36 hrs +-. Is that too long? Can you dry brine too long for brisket or pork? I also plan on injecting with some beef broth...so same question. Can you inject too early or does it make a difference?
I'm ready for sliced brisket already!!!!
