i often see pictures of smoked meat , boston butts . briskets and such and the people that smoked them are so proud that they smoked it _______ number of hours and rave about the bark on the meat ...when in fact it looks like you dug through the ashes of a house fire and found it
i totally understand about the bark on meat being very good ( i like it ) but there is a limit to it , but these people will tell you that there is no such thing as over smoked meat , i on the other hand refuse to eat any meat that has been smoked to death ,
i have found that i can smoke briskest or pork butts in roughly 8-9 hours and have a beautiful tasty bark on it , without it being black
yet my son is one of those people that just refuse to smoke a brisket for less that 16-18 hours , maybe they like the crunch and taste meat that has turned to ash ...anyway i'll never understand it
