Cooking for the week....
The Egg has been getting a work out this weekend. Yesterday Big Al smoked a fatty and 3 pounds of sweet italain sausage. We used some of the sausage along with leftover pulled pork and brisket in some jambalya. Yeah, I know - no pics, didn't happen. Let me tell you - it was a delicious figment of my imagination.
Today, thanks to Ross' post of Thirdeye's chicken thighs I deboned and defatted 10 thighs, gave them a dusting of Yardbird and onto the Egg they went... Once they came off I put on some ABTs and 2 pork chops I brined for a few hours. First time brining anything so I am interested in how they taste - they look good! It's going to be a week of good eats around here!!!

Thanks!
I went 50/50 Brown Sugar and Salt - let it set for about 2 hours or so - I'll let you know how it tastes...

Good looking stuff. I have come to the point that I won't grill any chops or poultry that isn't brined/injected first. Whole birds that are going to get smoked are brined first. Personally, I find that not only does it help with moisture, it also becomes my first step in building flavor.

Update on the pork chops....
I had the pork chops for dinner tonight. I reheated it in the microwave (yeah, I know) 2 minutes at 60% power.
It was still very juicy - I can't say I liked it smoked so I will probably just grill from now on, but the brining is here to stay.

Good lookin' eats right there L-M! There's a lot of different flavors that you can add with brining.
