First QVQ Try

[pjlstrat]

Here is my first try at QVQ via the Troutman post. I will continue to edit and keep updated....

4.2lb Chuckie from Crowd Cow


48 Hour dry brine thanks to great advice from the Pit



Rubbed with BBBR and on the Primo with Post oak chunks at 275deg.....Put on some chicken legs for dinner as well.


Also a little Whistle Pig Rye while the Primo does it's thing


The Bark set pretty good.....Pulled at 125


Into the SV...



I use a colander when it floats a bit



Next Post on Saturday!!

Final Product Came Out Fantastic!!!



That was a really fun cook!!! I want to thank Troutman for the QVQ directions!! They were fantastic. My only complaint, which has zero to do with troutman's instructions, is I over smoked mine a bit. I went with 3 post oak chuncks on the initial Q and another 3 on the final Q. That was too much. I will dial back next time......and OH THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME!!!

I like the rye whiskey part the best

My husband always says, "Kathryn, you don't always have to fix a drink whenever you fire up your cookers." Whaaat? That's part of the fun--watching that smoke and sipping a libation.

How long in the water bath? What temp?

[pjlstrat]

temp 129 deg for 3 days....Then an ice bath and into the fridge for a day until the weekend. Then a 3 hour smoke at 250deg but I did not let the meat get above 130.
