[classicrockgriller]

Had two Chuck roast and a shoulder roast bathing in Sweetwater Brisket Brine.



Got drained, rubbed down with spices from the brine and salt/pepper and cello wrapped over nite.







Also had some Bacon wrapped skinless drummies. 1/2 got sprinkled with Double Barrel seasoning

and other half got sprinkled with Stubbs Herbal Mustard Spice Rub. Going to

give the chicken some smoke and finish on the Traeger.



This is a couple of hours into the smoke.

This brine is normally reserved for the art of Texas BBQ - Smoked Brisket. This brine is made solely of ingredients that were available to the cowboys and vaqueros that first drove cattle through the Texas badlands. It will season the brisket with the earthy and smokey ancho and chipotle chilies, apple juice, black pepper, brown sugar, onion, garlic. tamarind paste and a hint of cinnamon.

I skinned them drummies myself.

I have taken two out of FTC and got one more to go.

They are very tender and juicy, great taste, but they are not as rare as yours.

Did that brine give 'em some zing?

I thought maybe you were writing romance novels on the side

You taste some heat when you are eating it, but nothing lingers.

Now the Chipotle Sirloin Roast has some bite that last a while.

[classicrockgriller]

I had a couple pieces of bacon left over from the chicken drummies and one of the roast

got some stripes laid on top while smoking.



Here it is cut in half. It got vac pak and is going to my moms house.



The small roast got cut, vac pkg and will get distributed to a relative.



But this chuckie is staying HOME.
