pork loin and shoulder muscle for lunch meat and i did a test run on MH pork brine

[crusty ol salt]

so i am just over paying extra $$$ for things i can make at home. lunch meat is one of those items, when i make it at home i control the ingredients and i gain increased quality.

i took a whole pork loin and i cut it up. i reserved some center cuts for the grill and i brine each end (about 3#'s each) in Mad Hunky pork brine. i dusted one with mad hunky rub and one with damn yankee rub.

the beef is a shoulder muscle injected and rub with capt dan's basic rub and injection.

here is everything on the SnP


pork loin with mad hunky brine and mad hunky rub



pork loin with mad hunky brine and damn yankee rub


beef muscle, funny i cooked to medium well. the smoke ring is pink and the center is grayish pink.


big ol stack of sandwich beef


i sliced up or cubed the end and plated them with some yellow rice, a squirt of damn yankee red sauce, a glass of sweet tea. dinner is served.



thanks for letting me share my smoke with you

Nice meal! I hear ya bout the lunch meat. The beef looks med well or well from here. The P loins look wonderful. Nice work!

[Fishawn]

Looks awesome Marcus ... I've been trimming well, then cutting chops outta the loins & using the trim for sausage.... Wife likes the totally lean, thinly sliced chops & I like all the stuff left over for sausage

Man, that beef with some horseradish on a sammy would be killer

You deserve a smoke ring award for that. The brine looks effective, plenty of moisture shown
