Hmmm 22 degrees...must be the secret. Well...either the seasonings cause a small cure, it soaked in color from them, or yer oven's on fire?

edited the post, 200 degrees, took about 7 hours @ after starting @ 450 then cranked it doen to 275 after 20 mins.

not sure if salt, jalapenos, garlic, cayenne, sugar, and paprika will cure anything overnight.

looks great Jim!!!

I think its more like if you want to have great tasting pork, you need to buy great pork. but you can take less than superior tasting pork, smoke it, and have great tasting pork....
something like that anyway...

great looking eats there bro!!!

mortons table salt...2 tbsp, with 2 tbsp cayenne, 2 tbsp paprika, 2 tsp white sugar, a bunch of minced garlis, and a few seeded jalapenos..

Jim looks good no matter how ya cooked it

[Richtee]

Huh... maybe the paprika color? I was thinking maybe ya used some of the "sea" or "natural" salts... which can of course contain nitrates.

[Richtee]
