Low and slow BBQ/smoking?

because he's gay and likes meat in his mouth

also probably a southerner

Pork butt, about 10 lbs. Dry brined for about 18 hours.

Homemade dry rub, nice and thick. It's a big piece of meat.

because he's a sexy bastard that's making some awesome bbq

famalam, when that water pan starts drying out you're gonna have some funky temperature variation.

>>8211178
They won't dry out. I'll add to the top one as needed and from experience, the bottom one usually is overflowing from drippings by the time I'm done, 12 hours or so.

>>8211191
Also, for my rig, I've found it necessary to add the top pan to keep my temps where I like. Otherwise it gets too hot or my fire dies from cutting too much airflow.

Looking good. Add some fuel and a couple more wood chunks and its back to bed for another hour.

>>8211115
dafuk is dry brine?

>>8211405
Kosher salted evenly and allowed to rest on a rack under refrigeration for up to 24 hours. While perhaps not as effective as a wet brine it is a hell of a lot less messy, wasteful, and doesn't take up a third of my refrigerator.

>>8211405
The clue is in the name, fuckwit.

>>8211467
learn the meaning of the word "brine" and pick a different word, fucking hipster trash

>>8211470
I'm, sorry I was under the impression that meat has high water content. And that due to the chemical nature of salt, that water would be drawn out due to salting resulting in a slurry, a water and salt mixture, a brine if you will.

Gtfo you pretentious twat.

OK kid.

>>8211367
Can you go to sleep with a lit grill on your porch? I don't know if this is a normal thing to do.

>>8211476
You're correct, it is essentially a dry brine but a better term that would perhaps satisfy these plebes would be "dry rub." And in fact, that's the term used by smoking/BBQ afficionados, you pretentious fagfuck.

>>8211500
As long as you're not drinking or otherwise incapcititated and check regularly, at least every one or two hours, it should be fine.

If you pass out for more than a couple hours, you're gonna have a bad time.

>>8211522
there is no "essentially dry brine" because brine is by definition a water/salt solution

dry brine is a retarded concept for pretentious faggots

>>8211522
It's because I do them as separate steps. Rub is for flavor, brine for moisture. Dry brining is a thing. Google it you pedantic prick.

>>8211543
>dry brining is a thing

it's a thing that normal people call SALTING you pretentious retard

you're as bad as the "bone broth" faggots

>>8211538
>As long as you're not drinking

Thinks someone actually does a long term smoking of meat and is not drinking. Just get to planet earth did you, you ignoramus?

>>8211552
You don't really start drinking until it's almost done. A beer or two is fine but take it easy at first. Learn some self control you fucking alcoholic.

>>8211107
ITT: argue about the meaning of terms that don't have meaning except to pretentious fagfucks.

>>8211547
Do you even /ck/? Serious question.

And we've hit the stall. Probably be here for the next couple hours.

It sounds like something you should generally try to avoid, but the chances of actually burning to death are probably pretty low.
Like, how often do you need to intervene because a charcoal grill you're watching is about to set your house on fire? It's not often. There is a nonzero chance of things going horribly wrong, but maybe you're willing to take that chance if that's what it takes for the meat to be done when you want it to be.

fed 8 adults and 6 kids. People were hungry so I didn't get a lot of good photos. Thanks /ck/, it's been real.

Dear OP

Thank you for not drowning it in sauce.

t. Everyone outside of the Carolinas

>>8212531
Not near enough food for that many people, especially with those oversized kaisers. Make a bigger one next time. You left your guests salivating and wanting more of a portion (unless that was your strategy all along).

Looks good OP, thanks for posting!

>>8212731
>Not near enough food for that many people, especially with those oversized kaisers.
I am hoping that this wasn't his whole meal, perhaps others brought some accoutrements with; Cold salads, beans, grillables....
>Make a bigger one next time
This is always the answer

Also OP, don't walk around your kitchen bare footed. Disgusting!

outstanding. i did one for my birthday a few days back, but i dont start threads on this site any more. mods are a bunch of faggot hillary shills and thought police fascist niggers.

>>8212731
that was after everyone had already had one portion, just before I served myself. I'd say I ended with about 7lbs meat.
Only one of the kids ate any pork. The rest ate heeb nationals. And of course we had a bunch of side items.

>>8212712
I only serve sauce because people expect it and try to convince everyone to at least try it without. That shit never touches my plate.

>>8212762
>Also OP, don't walk around your kitchen bare footed. Disgusting!

My house, my rules! I have sandals so I can slip them on and off as I leave and enter the house. What kind of savage wears shoes in the house?

>>8211873
Yeah, although not burning down my house is a reason to keep checking regularly I'm actually more concerned about my fire going out or getting too hot.

>>8211615
Why did you burn it so much? You should keep an even temperature. That will help you cook the meat without burning it.
