I know I've been absent the last couple of months but I've been preoccupied with several things. Good news though......... I have something smoking in the Keg!



I brined four hunks of pork cushion meat all totaled about 12.5 lbs overnight. Two in a salty brine and two in a sweet brine. Then I decided to use some of the rubs I got at Kegtoberfest 2014.

Then on the Keg they went with alder and apple wood for smoke.

I'll update later but these are smelling fantastic already!


 
3:00pm update and they're looking great and smelling even better!
The three smaller chunks are at 172 degrees IT and the larger one is 169* after about six hours on the Keg.

Each skewer is labeled with the rub I used on it and which brine was used also. I'll pull it when it cools a bit and package separately. I have a feeling this will NOT last very long at all. Lol....

Nice!!! How is it,I have never tried it or cooked it before? I hear its better than shoulder for pulled pork.
 
Only tried it as I was pulling it. Very good! Much leaner.
Pulled pork cushion sliders will happen later!
