Hey guys,
Having some family over for the Super bowl next weekend and gonna smoke some butt. My first attempt was a success. Bought some "Famous Daves Rib Rub" and rubbed it all over, smoked it with hickory for six hours, another seven in the oven, and pulled it. It got rave reviews. I wanted to tweak it and switch it up some and was thinking about marinating/injecting. I am plannning on an apple juice, bourbon, brown sugar, pepper, salt, etc. mixture for the marinade. Would you guys suggest letting it soak for a while or just injecting it straight in? Second, if you marinade, do you need to do a rub with it, or will that overpower us with spices? Finally, I will be doing it on Saturday, so it will need to be reheated. How would you guys suggest reheating it without losing any flavor or drying it out? Thanks for the input. This site rocks! I don't know how I would have learned anything about smoking without it.
