Yesterday's turkey.
Brined overnight with 1/2cup salt and 1/2 cup brown sugar per gallon (roughly 2 gal). Added paprika, thyme, rosemary, powdered garlic, onion powder, parsley to the brine. 11 hours later, pulled from brine and patted dry, slathered in butter, a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, and more of the herbs.
Put on Kamado Joe w/ a few chunks of hickory and jealous devil charcoal at 350*. Temp creeped up to 400ish for a bit, but I brought it back down with the vents. Pulled and tented in foil when breast was at 156* to let its temp creep up without overdoing it.
Was just right. Not too smoky, not too salty, moist as could be! Thinking next time I’ll torch the skin for some crispiness.

My first attempt, small pork loin.

That looks really good. I think Safeway has Pork Tenderloin on sale until tomorrow so I may have to pick one up now.
I just got a new Recteq RT-590 smoker (posted a photo in the "Picture of what you bought" thread the other day) and I'm dying to get something on it. I think King Soopers has ribs for $1.99/lb right now too. Waiting for a couple more items to arrive over the next few days and then I'm clear to go buck wheezy on it. Already debating how I'm going to christen Smoky McSmokeface. I've got a Boston Butt in the freezer just calling to me softly too.

Not sure if they are still on sale but Costco had loins for $1.79/lb and $8 off per package which made them less than $1/lb. I bought 4 packages, about 32 pounds.

Just did a whole chicken last night. Fast cook...375? for about 1.75 hours to 165? internal. Just did a dry mesquite rub from Costco with some extra black pepper and cayenne. Spritzed once with olive oil. Mostest moistest chicken I've ever had.
