Dry rub... Paprika, kosher salt, brn sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne.
Cooking... GOSM gas smoker, hickory chunks mixed with some apple chips. Digital thermo (MUST HAVE DIGITAL!) temps between 225 and 240, never higher. Smoke (light blue, not grey) until internal temp reaches 165ºF (also on digital dual-probe thermo)(about 8-12 hrs depending on outside temps). Baste with apple cider from a spray bottle at least once per hour to keep the outside from drying out. Then pull it and wrap in HD tinfoil. Add more apple cider (maybe half a cup or less) Seal tightly and place in 210ºF oven until internal temp reaches 200-205º (maybe another 12 hours). I use the oven for the second half because trying to smoke it overnight is tough and also tends to toughen the outside and can cause excessively heavy smoke flavor. The initial smoking penetrates far enough to give a good rind without making jerky. At this point it pulls perfectly. SAVE THE DRIPPINGS! Sauce... Cider vinegar, water, sweet pickle juice, catsup, apple cider, brn sugar, hot sauce, creole seasoning, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and pan drippings. Sauce warmed just enough to dissolve the sugar, never hot enough to boil. Now when the Q discussion is done, we can talk about smoking steelhead fillets. Costco has some marvelous steelhead at times... *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 7:32 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: Carolina "BBQ Sauce" (was Re: Proxy server and ISA) > > I don't do competitions (don't want to commit the required time), but being a good NC > boy, I'll take that challenge. > > Of course, being a good NC boy, taking the challenge = another excuse to eat some Q > > Dry rub, sometimes inject with Apple cider, smoke 240 degrees until it's done.
