Time to make some Sausage!!!!! When you building the Walk-in? Damn your not allowed any new toys. But it really wouldn't be a new toy if you put a couple bags of frozen corn in there out of the kitchen fridge!!!

I just picked up 20 lbs of Tender Quick... for free too! I don't use it a lot, except for curing but what the heck, the price was right! :D

Well i did 3 of the pork roasts. Here are the results and some Pros/Cons

Pros

They were free ;D
Half of the roast was nice and juicy tender when shredding
The net came right off. I was worried they would burn or melt.
They didnt take long to cook/smoke
The Carlonia Treet injection worked great

Cons
No bone which made some of the meat kinda dry
Not as much fat to render down through the meat.

These would do great to smoke for a few hours then into the crock pot.

With the injection, do think it might have been a tasty "slicer" at a lower IT?

It does look a little dry but some good BBQ sauce would make me happy, you want my address?

Did you have a water pan in the UDS?

Caribou · July 13, 2009, 06:43:14 AM

Wow Nepas!
What a beautiful roast!
Congrats on the 300 lbs of pork. I know it's all in roast but that's about a pig and half if it was hanging weight! Youzzers is right!
I am a believer in God's providence and this once again confirms it!
So there!

I had three roosters that needed to be "utilized" yesterday.
I laid them on the counter after I plucked them and saw a photo op I couldn't pass up!
Because we hatch our own chickens for egg layers we do get extra roosters that we can use for meat which dress out around 3lbs.
I do have three big meat chickens that I'm trying to raise to roaster weight.
So there...my friend!
