WE ARE!

Penn State is now 3x Big ten champs and sitting pretty for 3x national! Spend the day clearing the yard of kiln dried and cooking this....













Ribs, Pork butt and a tired pup ...

I bought a pork butt to smoke this week, thanks for reminding me why I do it, those pics are a nice reminder of the fruits of my labor!

Did the ribs 3 2 1 style, and they turned out great. Pork butt was on for 12.5 hours and will be finished off in the morning for potluck at work. I cut a cherry stub a few weeks back just for this occasion and it worked out well combined with the apple on hand. Time to get the saw in the orchards though because you can NEVER have too much apple laying around.

Do you brine?

That dog sure cooked up nice.

Not often that I literally laugh out loud at the interwebz. Thank you

So warped . . . and yet so funny. I'm not sure whether I should even admit to laughing out loud while reading this.

Eat all that yourself, and "porkbutt" will stick as a nickname

I brined a few times before smoking but now I just make a dry rub and refrigerate it overnight. It seems weird to some but I slather the meat with yellow mustard first so the rub has something to stick to and since it's vinegar based it does a good job. My sister gags at even the smell of mustard and didn't believe that it was the base of my rub since by the time it's all smoked, the mustard taste is gone.

I leave my brining to my thanksgiving turkey, that I just cook in the oven but it's a whiskey based brine, love it!

Speaking of Whiskey, I have some Jack Daniels smoking chips I can't wait to try. They chip up JD barrels and sell them as chips, they smell amazing,

MARSHALL!

title of thread "we are" this is the "battle cry" so to speak of Marshall University in West Virginia.
