Nice job Al!!  Are you going to take on pork if we go to the AR?

No, but I’m thinking of brining my ribs (would do pork if needed).  My brother in law suggested brining the ribs.   He also suggested parchment paper instead of tin foil. I have experimented with that. It is amazing how it keeps the moisture in, but is harder to work with.

Looks great, but no pics of flowers?

I like to start off with either flowers or a scenery shot. Don’t have any recent flower pix but as we get closer to spring & summer . . .

I don't believe that brining is required on enhanced pork products (or any enhanced meat) as they already contain phosphates and other stuff that help bind the water that is added for this process. Check out the label info.

http://articles.extension.org/pages/27340/functionality-of-non-meat-ingredients-used-in-enhanced-pork

Very interesting article. There is a lot we don’t know about the meat we buy. Unless we buy direct from a farmer. I noticed Bentley mentioned adding sodium phosphate to the brine (might be in his pork recipe in the recipe section). I did no have any so did not add it, but by the looks of this article they most likely already have it in there.

Thanks for all the nice comments!  Nothing original here with me. I was blending Bentley’s recent post in this section and his recipe in the recipe section. Looks like they work. Thanks again Bentley!!

Very aggressive bark for being foiled! 

Glad it was not mush for being cooked to appx 250°IT... :pig:

Checked at 9:30 and internal temps were in the mid 200’s so I pulled it off.

Sorry for the confusion. When I said mid 200’s I meant 203-205

Man, that butt looks like a meteor after passing through the atmosphere! Love the bark on that.
