Recap
1. Great first cook!
2. Great bark as you like
3. Freezing and a short cook time
4. Learning your cooker
5. Hot knife thru butter. Welcome to the rest of your life. You'll be chasing that. I know I do.
6. Making us all hungry!!
Well, a huge thanks to all of you, whether it was on this thread or one from a year ago that I dug up. This is really fantastic, I’d take it over pulled pork I’ve had at any BBQ joint in the Triangle area - and I’ve done my best to visit them all! The pork was actually very moist, and it just fell apart, the bone twisted out clean. I picked a little piece of the money muscle off for me and the wife and it was like butter! Experience is key, I definitely have a few ideas for things to try differently in the future. If I’m being really picky, I like a spicier rub than MMD. I’m also curious about the smokiness - it’s delicious and all thru the meat, but juuust hinting at almost maybe close to a sooty taste in some bites. I had white billowing smoke early but it settled down into what I understand was the "blue smoke". Not sure if I used too much wood, or if it’s really in the bark and would mellow out if smoked longer at a lower temp. Regardless, the wife and kid are insanely happy and that makes me happy. And full! 👍ðŸ»
Amen to that Steve R. I think this was the Sunday before the ‘Bama v. Georgia Monday night game - which I slept thru. 😞 I’ve dropped 2 or 3 not-so-subtle hints about a set it and forget smoker next year, and haven’t felt much resistance yet. 👍ðŸ»
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I have to admit Mudkat even getting up that early - it was fun! Probably because folks here helped me get it right! Learned a lot in just a single smoke, always good.
