Panhead John Great article. I actually read the whole thing.

Ditto, and Ditto.

We ate what you see there standing at the kitchen island in about 5 minutes. Tasty but too expensive as I mentioned. Probably order 3 if I ever do it again.

Kathryn, you will like it. Consider it like you would a steak or something in that same weight range. It's an appetizer for a crowd, as Troutman says, or a meal for 2-3 depending on the size of the pork brisket. Mine was 1.9 pounds, and the two of us ate it all. I probably ate a lot more than Yvonne though.

[jfmorris]

Agreed in that you won't feed a crowd with a pork brisket. I look at it like I would an expensive steak, and it was a fine meal for two.

Uh oh. I'm glad I bought two of them, Troutman .

I enjoyed the pigsket but not the value assigned to it. Considering it was as expensive as it was and what little meat you eventually get from one, it's only really good as an appetizer.

Cool, that’s great to hear. I wish I could find pork brisket here, need to talk to a butcher.

Henrik the flavor profile of the two rubs worked very well with this cut of meat. My wife is usually a "sauce" person and she wanted nothing on this meat. The combination of the dry brine, the smoke, the Bonafide Beef and the lemon peppery KC Royale on juicy pork was very very good.

wrgilb it took over 6 hours, with the last hour wrapped in foil, to hit 190 on my probe. There results were very good though!

[jfmorris]

Considering there were NO leftovers and zero waste - the precooked weight was 1.9 pounds, and it was probably well under 1.5 from shrinkage - it was a huge success! It was an interesting cut. A little like a beef brisket in consistency, but also like the best and juiciest pork loin you ever had.

I will order one again some time for sure.

[Henrik]

Very cool. I'm also surprised it takes so long. Looks like a pork belly in size/thickness. Anyway, let us know how it turned out! How are the flavors?

[fzxdoc]

So how did you like that pigsket, jfmorris ?

I've got one that I'll do later this week jfmorris. I'm going to do it about 275, hopefully it won't take near that long.
