Pork Barbeque... rubs, marinades, brines, sauces, etc?
Questions:
Any good recipes?
What is the best cut of pork to use: shoulder, tenderloin, etc?
How long and what temp to cook at?
Answers:
The best cut to use is called a Boston Butt, Definatly not tenderloin, not enough fat and your meat will be dry as for the seasoning that is stricktly a matter of taste. I prefer to leave mine plain put it on a smoker for about 7-8 hours @ about 250. Then pull it and cover it with your favorite sauce.
look for bubba stubb's marinades n sauces...they sell em in my ralphs n other places. i love their sauces n marinades. for bbq my favorite cuts r boneless country pork ribs, regular pork ribs, or my bfs specailty (one of his many!) pork tenderloin. if u r a timid cook, just stick to the bottle to start. if u r a brave chef, mix a bunch of spices, seasoning blends etc, coat it n bast in a delicious blend of soy sauce, ur favorite bbq sauce, orange juice, maybe some salsa for a kick...as far as cooking times n temperatures, idk, we wait for it to look right, figure in thickness of the meat n how well done we want. i will recommend just looking up a chart for times n temperatures. most cook books will have a chart. find out about cooking methods, direct heat vs indirect etc, and how to get ur coals just right. bbq is great cuz it is part art part science, part fun part food. enjoy the rocess n just do it a lot n u will ge the hang of it :)
