Wow this was this was the best butt I have smoked and the longest, over 17 + hours.

Very juicy and the flavor was amazing. Lynn my better half told me this was really good, which is a really high five... I also shared with my smoking buddy and his family and he said this was the best he has ever tasted....

I also beer brined some fries for dinner and a killer salad.


So I would rate this as 8-9 and hope to do again in the near future.

Question, do you use this on everything you brine?

No.  I have a few different brines, for different meats.  I try to match the flavoring additives to the type of meat.  For example, I use orange juice in my poultry brine to add a hint of citrus flavor!  No rules on what you add - it's just to "enhance" the wonderful flavor of the meat!

As a side note, I normally fill my water pan half full. This morning when I went to clean out the smoker, I noticed that the water pan was totally dry.

Next time I will fill it fuller!

Holy S@#t!!! Looks great. I'm hoping mine turns out 1/2 as nice. Might put mine in a little earlier based on your experience.

Wow this baby took forever to come up to temp and for the last hour I cranked up the heat. The 10 lb. butt took 17 hours and 45 minutes. I splashed it with a mix of apple juice and water and wrapped in foil. It is now resting in the cooler with towels, it looks good and man I am ready to give it a try!



Greg
sounds similar to the smoke i just did.  8lb butt 15hrs 30 min.  Didnt inject or brine. Was my first try on the new smoker. It was good but a tiny bit dry. Nect time ill inject.

How much wood did you use?  I see a nice smoke ring.

Great job Greg. Looks like you have the side dishes down to a science too.

Nick for wood I used 3.4 oz. Cherry/2.2 oz. Hickory wood. With an electric smoker you will not get a smoke ring.  But if you add 1 t. #1 pink cure to your brine you get what like like the ring (note the smoke ring does nothing for flavor). If you are interested you can buy the #1 cure on amazon.
