Hey all, first of all thankful today for those who gave their lives so we can have this blessed freedom!
I purchased a 12.8 lb packer from Costco and have been wet aging 30 days. Today I trimmed her up and separated the flat and point. Unfortunately I ended up with two pretty puny and thin sections.
Smoking them tomorrow after 24 hour dry brine and I'm thinking of smoking in foil pans to keep them moist. Downside is no smoke on one side but I'll smoke the flat fat side down which won't matter anyway.
I'll also probably foil cover the pans at 160, earlier than normal and will forego the butcher paper this time. I'd imagine bark will be set fine at that point with the arid climate.
Thoughts?
