Happy to have this on deck for the car and finally getting a peek at these Librettos. The This City Made Us demo 10" is pretty cool to have, the demos aren't my favorite compared to the album versions which are perfect, but I mostly collect vinyl so I am happy as hell to finally have some protomen for the turntable!
I'm nervous as hell about screwing up an $80 slab and I think i already kind of butchered it splitting the flat from the point. Oh well. I had to split it to fit it in my vertical propane smoker.
As far as trimming, im honestly pretty happy with it. I wont know for sure til tomorrow but I have a gut feeling I did a decent job on that end.
This is a simple mix of coarse kosher and black pepper, with a dusting of garlic powder as well. Is this adequate for an overnight dry brine?
Tomorrow it'll be riding at 250 with pecan chunks until a stall, where it'll be wrapped in butcher paper and taken to 200/probe tender. I'll have both pieces individually monitored with probes. Then I'll let them halt on the cook before towel-coolering them.
Wish me luck!
I'm in Northeastern Pennsylvania, USA
I think it might be but I feel like if it is, this thing is ancient!
Thank you!
