Baking Soda Brine and tenderize meat

As I was reading thru some of the BBQ groups on Facebook someone was asking how come there steak came out to tough.  Someone replied with this link post by Arm and Hammer.  I found it interesting and plan on using this on some of the cheaper cuts of Beef.  My Rib Eyes and Picanha's always come out tender. 

This article discusses the following items.

  • What is velveting and why it works
  • Salt vs Baking soda to Tenderize 
  • The article talks about wet brining vs dry brining with baking soda and when to do each
  • Tenderizing Steaks

Brisket/Pork Butt Fat up or Fat down

Brisket/Pork Butt Fa6 up or down  Many of have heard if you could marry a super model ot cook a Brisket would you do it Fat side up or Down.  The same applies to Pork Butts.  I was recently asked why I cook Fat down.  My reply of because I have always done it that way didn't seem to be right.  It turns out that based on the Pit Barrel cooker and my Previous pellet grills fat down wa the right way.  I had a 50/50 shot and did it right.  The logic in the below 2 articles is that the fat side should face the heat source.

Pulled Pork, Baby Back Ribs,Asparagus and Peaches July 18, 2020 For this cook, I made pulled pork, Baby back ribs,asparagus and peaches, I cut the Baby Backs in half. As you can see from above pix I put 2 Hooks in each 1/2 and hung them that way. I had a rack drop in the coals on a previous cook and thought this would be better.   I used the PBC all purpose rub and I cooked them for 2 about hours. Until they were nice and Tender.  I typiclly BBQ with no sauce and feel like you can add your own sauce later.  My wife loved these and ate most them.  She ate some dry and some with store bought BBQ Sauce. The Pork Butt was actually a skin on picnic shoulder.  It cooked for about 5 hrs and came out real good.  The Pork near the bone was juicer then the rest.  This came out really good as well.  I didn't score the skin but I will next time!
