Perfect. I live in the sticks but the closest full size grocery store is Meijer.

Yep, I find the same when I make the base recipe I got out of the book Charcuterie. I've now cut back on the amount of sugar I use just for that reason.

Peter,
That sauce looks fantastic. Thanks for the link. Do you use the apricot nectar? Not sure I have ever seen that stuff around. I might sub a little OJ in place.

Yes, I do use the apricot nectar.
If you are familiar with the Kern's nectars, they make an apricot that I use.

Default Re: What's in your smoker?

I've been working like a mad man the last couple of weeks, but had committed to cooking a couple of pork butts for a youth fun raiser. So after a 65 hour week, I kicked back for a all nighter at the smoker Saturday night.

3:30am


Just a little butt...(14 actually)


Pork was NOT the only thing smoked!


The really hard part was going back in to the office Sunday night after serving the food! I am starting to think I am too old to do many all night cooks these day. I may have to pick up a Brandywine one of these days...

That is really nice looking Steve. One of these days I hope to have one of these small Cadillacs

Actual temp is approximately 230*

It was excellent. Trader Joe's corned beef brisket (~5 lbs). Rinsed off the seeds and seasoning. Put it in a pot of water and brought it to a boil. Drained the water and repeated 5 times. This REALLY reduces the saltiness.

2 hours on the smoker @ 225-250. Remove and place in an aluminum foil pan with the sauce. Cover with foil and another 1-2 hours until internal temp of 185.

Dee-lish.
