Nice. Looking forward to the finished product. Have you done it before?

Was tighter than I'd hoped for sure. This year, if we get to or maybe through the sweet 16 I'd be ok.blind99 said:I see this post came after the game... bulldogs did pretty well ehh?Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga -

@bgebrent I just checked the Alton Brown method (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pulled-pork-recipe?ref=amp) and had a few questions:
1) Brine looks awesome, do you think that's the biggest difference maker with his method?
2) I've got a bit of a sweet tooth and love brown sugar in my rubs. In his method I didn't see any sugar (or pepper), so I'm curious how flavorful this rub is compared with the "typical" rubs we use.
3) The suggested 210 smoker temp is low, and if you recall last week I was worried about a butt I put on because it took almost 8 hours to get over 140 IT. I'm guessing if Alton suggests this then it's fine, but any concerns with the meat in the "danger zone" that long?
Definitely trying at least the brine next time! Thanks for sharing.

1). The brine is a difference maker flavoring the pork.
2). You get sugar from the molasses. If you want more sugar there's no problem adding it to the rub if you go L &S. Also, you could serve with a sauce to add some sweet notes, but this recipe really needs no sauce.
3). I smoke butts at 275 usually unless I'm in a hurry.
Let me know what you think!

Great looking venue as always-gotta be closing in on the finish-line. I'm sure the aroma is quite a teaser for the eats to come. Enjoy the banquet.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.

Nice stuff brother! Staff will be very happy!
since your threads have talked a lot about SV thought I'd drop this here - they are awesome for cooking things down quickly. Make an ice water bath and set the temp on the Anova to 32. Today's eye of round:
