I have two 5lb sirlion tips brining right now using Smokin' Al's brine recipe (with a little tweak to it), been in 9 days now and I plan on smoking them on Saturday. I've been reading a lot of threads on here but can't really find the answers I want.
First, Do I need to soak it in clear water before I smoke? I saw Al said he did his for 4 hours but I'm not seeing anyone else soaking unless it was a (store bought) corned beef beforehand.
Second, What is a good simple rub recipe? I see mostly black pepper and coriander but I can't find at what ratio to each other, and about how much would I need for two 5lb sirlion tips?
Thanks in advance for any help!
