JLOCKHART29,

Your pic did not post, maybe try again.....

Never even heard of the first two woods and I don't guess I ever tried the third.

I've learned to be careful with the Dales, measuring it in small quantities. It is very salty, and has a fair amount of MSG in it. I wish the soy sauce flavor was toned down a bit so the other spices could stand out. Is there ginger and paprika in there too??

Cutting Dales with Coke is the recommended procedure, so you are on the right track there. Also be prepared for a great smoke ring. Bodacious could even be used to describe it.....

Your rub and your barbecue technique both sound good. (double check the tenderness at 190°, to make sure it's right) Lets hear a review and see some finished pictures of this cook.

thirdeye, Going to try and repost the pic. Meat has reached 165 degrees on flat and holding. Looked at them threw the daisy wheel and looks GOOOOOD! I am alittle concerned it might be too salty also so I cut back alittle on salt in rub and washed meat after the overnight soak in Dales but it might still be to salty.

JLOCKHART29, Well took me longer to get her done than I expected. 8 1/2 hrs. for the flat and 9 hrs for the point. Pulled them at 185 degrees meat temp. reather than the 190 I had planed. By 1:30 am this morning I was about to pass out as I had been up since 2:15 am that morning. Glad I did cause the were done. In fact if I were to use meat for slicing and eating as is would pull at 180 meat temp. Anyway the were GREAT!! Not to salty at all. Just right. I do not like beef particularly. I'm a pork man but I find myself opening up the frig and cutting a slice cold to eat all day.

JLOCKHART29,

Glad it worked out for you. The effect of marinades sometimes takes an adjustment or two to get it where you want it. Good job.
