Holy smokes are those hunks of meat done yet Craig???? I was hoping to see this before I went to bed... you are killing us!!
We were hoping to eat it before we went to bed!
Thanks Lena....
Some more pics before the review OK...
Lookin good in the smoker...bout ready to be foiled...
At this point I want to say that the meat I smoked sucked...period...Have done many chucks and have never had any that compared to this...10 freaking hours......When the meat finally reached temp and then rested I tried to pull it...Notice I said tried...The stuff wouldn't give...As if it wasn't done...But the superfast grey thermopen said that they were both done...DONE...But still they wouldn't pull...
That aside...
Back to the test...
The brined roast was certainly moister and the color was somewhat red throughout most of it...Kinda like it was cured but not quite...But still wouldn't pull...Taste was great... the brine really pulled the flavors of the marinade into the meat...
Here is a sliced pic of the brined beef...Took pics of the pulled but seems photobucket lost em
A pic of the other roast pulled...More shredded than pulled...
Anyway the guests returned and it all turned out OK...Served up the parts that would pull and saved back the rest...
Here is a quick plated shot...
Supper didn't suck even though most of the cook did
Most folks went for seconds so I guess that says its not too bad...
In review the Nekkid brine did what it was supposed to do...Even if the chuckies were substandard the brine did its job..Thanks Rich...
