here's my pork loin, all smoked up and so nom nom nom.

salt and pepper on canola oil, shrink-wrapped and refrigerated overnight and into next day. 3 hours smoked to 145 in -+230 heat with a mixture of cherry and oak.
the fat cap made the meat taste a bit like bacon that melts in your mouth. oof, so damn good.

made a marinade and did a spicy korean smoked pork shoulder over the weekend. it ended up being absolutely ridiculous. can't wait to do it again. I didn't take any pictures during/after, I was too busy eating it haha.
 
Having a couple of friends over for dinner and the BGE is warming up.

We'll start off with an amuse bouche of lamb tartare on toast points paired with a Russian River Valley sauvignon blanc.

Tonight, Greek salad, prime New Yorks, baked taters, fire roasted corn on the cob with habanero butter. Will pair with 2011 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot.

Finally, some southern love in the form of 'nilla wafer banana pudding. Oh yeah.

Also brining a few pounds of fresh yellowtail for a smoke tomorrow…I'm thinking a super buttery chardonnay.

I lost your invitation. what's the address again?
 
went to Ralph's and got me a nice loaf of pork loin, and my first flat cut brisket. it's only 3 lbs but I'd rather waste that and not a 15 on a first try.

kosher salt and fresh ground pepper and garlic powder. dress in evoo. shrinkwrap and let sit in fridge overnight. fire up the smoker to 230 and put the beautiful flat cut in there until it hits 190. best brisket I have ever had. first one too.
 
the Ralph's that I go to has the special cuts out every Tuesday. if I needed to get something special, I go that day of the week.

I'll need to find out when the Sprouts nearby does that.

I cooked it with fat cap down. it took over 8 hours. I started at 200 degree as suggested on the interwebs for smaller cuts. I should have been listening to the folks over at the bbq forum on FB. they're nuts about briskets, which should be cooked in the +230 degree smoke, just enough to get the fat renderings to break down during a stall.
 


marinade:

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons gochujang (or more if you want it spicier)
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons clover honey
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 -inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
5 pound pork butt, trimmed of excess fat

bbq sauce:

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 shallots, finely diced
1 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons gochujang
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For the Korean BBQ sauce: Heat the oil in a medium high-sided saute pan. Add the shallots and cook until soft. Whisk in the reserved juices from the pork, the chicken stock, ketchup, gochujang, honey, soy sauce and five-spice powder and cook until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar and sesame oil.
