Full Fledged Farker
Apple juice. Apple juice concentrate. Vinegar brown sugar mixes. I’ve tried them all.
Aside from subtly, if at all, impacting the flavor of the bark- I see zero benefit. The old saying “it keeps the meat moist” seems like BS to me. How does periodically spritzing impact the moisture of the internal meat? Bark forms whether you spritz or not, so the bark formation protecting meat from drying out, if that’s your belief, takes place regardless of spritzing.
I’ve recently stopped spritzing brisket, shoulders, chickens, ribs, etc. I see no positive benefit for the hassle (even though it’s a small one).
I know others wholeheartedly disagree. I’m curious as to the logic against mine. Thoughts?
