You Bet! I love doing these and hopefully bring something new to the members that may not have tried something yet, or affraid to, or just never thought of it. I bought a butt today for yet another test. I have been wanting to do this for awhile anyway. I did one years ago by the seat of my pants, but with new knowledge here and a good smoker MES, here is what pushed me over the edge. I went to Lenny's Subshop, a national chain and got the wifey a sub for her lunch tomorrow, I usually do that on Sunday for her. As I watched them assemble it I was drooling when he put the Capicola on the slicer. That was it. I made up my mind right then and there that would my next experiment.
So here is the butt.
I need to wet cure/brine with Mortons Tender Quick, still need to figure out the timing, the bag says 24 hours and pump with 10% brine soloution.
I got out the bible Ryteks book for the recipe. I think it is a 6 hour smoke, so it's doable for me wth a few brews along the way.
Anybody done any yet? Maybe Ritchtee will comment on the tender cure timing, I'm thinking 24 hours. Instructions on bag are useless.Rytec says brine for 3 days, that was in the old days so maybe 24 hours will work.
Oh, for those that aren't familiar with Capacola it is an Italian deli type peppery cold cut.
From Wikipedia
Lets see if I can turn this into this.
Wish me luck, as always thanks for watching!
