Butt Spritz

Any on spritz their butts??

I’ve been shopping for an offset and the guys talking about spritzing giving you a mean brisket bark. 

Got a butt going right now. It’s coming along, but really tempted to hit it with a spritz if I can get caught up from working in the shop to make it.

    I do if I’m not going to foil to finish it. I think it helps the bark to not dry out too much. Typically I just mix 50/50 oil and apple cider vinegar. Little bit of fat and a little bit of flavor. 

    Looks great by the way

    I generally don’t do it. Offsets are a drier environment so spritzing is more beneficial.

    I have a couple offsets , I rarely if ever spritz....I get passed the " it looks dry " it looks that way right before fat render properly ....Spritz to slow the cook that's about it

    I spritz with around a 50/50 water ACV mixture after a few hours into the cook and then around every 90 minutes or so until the bark colour (nod) is what I'm looking for.  FWIW-

    I realize I’m late to the party here but I spritz once every hour or so with a 50/50 mix of apple cider vinegar and apple juice

    What kind of offset are you thinking?

    prolly a 250 gallon on a trailer. I’ve borrowed a friends Lang a couple times. Just slowly looking. TMG is amazing. But I don’t think I’m ready to spend that.

    Totally OT, but our bidet nozzle mechanism malfunctioned and needed replacement within 20 months of installation. I’ve ordered a replacement and just hope they ship some sort of instructions re: the part swap, but I’m really not holding my breath.

    Best advice for the repair is 3 layers of gloves + bleach

    So I got the part swapped. There were no instructions, but it was pretty straightforward. I have long, slender fingers, but connecting the electronics proved very challenging in the tight spaces. Luckily, I have very small zip ties lying around. The replacement part didn’t come with any, but they were secured on all of the hoses of the original part. 

    Unfortunately, the same problems persist despite the part swap (wand not retracting), so I’ve contacted the manufacturer for further advice. 

    Sorry for the hijack OP!!!

    Read this article and immediately thought of @dmchicago and the good ol Friday night Covid Zooms:

    "In 1982, a peculiar commercial aired on televisions across Japan. An actress in a pink floral dress and an updo drops paint on her hand and futilely attempts to wipe it off with toilet paper. She looks into the camera and asks: 'Everyone, if your hands get dirty, you wash them, right?' 'It’s the same for your bottom,' she continues. 'Bottoms deserve to be washed, too.' The commercial was advertising the Washlet, a new type of toilet seat with a then-unheard-of function: a small wand that extended from the back of the rim and sprayed water up. After its release, Toto, the Washlet’s maker, was deluged with calls and letters from viewers shocked by the concept. They were also angry that it was broadcast during evening prime time, when many were sitting down for dinner." Well, they got over the shock and anger and their bottoms are all the better for it. "Washlet-style bidets, sold by Toto and a few smaller rivals, are a common feature in Japan’s offices and public restrooms and account for more than 80 percent of all household toilets." Is the magic water wand finally catching on America. You bet your ass it is. NYT (Gift Article): The Rise of the Japanese Toilet. "Toto is selling more bidets in the United States. Toto’s president says not even tariffs will halt its advance." (The article mentions a few celebrities and influencers, but it's a safe bet that none of them has done as much to spread the Toto gospel as Howard Stern. He's been consistently describing his use of the product in extremely specific terms for years.)"
    I know @Canugghead has worked this topic with much appreciation...     B) 

    It is Friday eve!
