Happy Thanksgiving from all of us over here at Porkosaurus BBQ!
FROM THE PITMASTER
TURKEY, TO BRINE OR NOT TO BRINE?
Still pondering what to do with your Turkey, to brine or not to brine? Well we decided to go and ask one of our favorite butchers and picked his brain. He gave us his favorite Brine recipe and well if it’s good enough for him then we are surely willing to share it with you. Thanks to Matt from Campbell Meats for his secret recipe:
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
  • 2 gallons water

  • 2 cups kosher salt 

  • 1 cup sugar

  • A few sprigs each of: thyme, sage & rosemary

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 tablespoon each of: black peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander seeds

  • 10 cloves garlic (smashed)

  • 2 lemons (halved & squeezed)

INSTRUCTIONS:
 
1. Heat all of the above in a large pot until all the salt & sugar has dissolved.

2. Then let cool to room temperature.

3. Brine the bird (fully submerged) for 24-48 hours in the fridge or a cooler filled with ice.  After removing from the brine, be sure to allow 6 hours for the bird to dry off completely.

4. Once dry, rub her down with butter or olive oil.

5. Then feel free to apply our Porkosaurus Steak and Brisket Seasoning (Yep it’s great on poultry too) on the bird and make sure you get it in the cavity too for that great flavor you are seeking.

6. Whether you are smoking your turkey or cooking it in the oven keep the old meat thermometer handy as those little pop-up thingamajigs aren’t too reliable, you don’t want to have a Clark Griswold moment and overcook the turkey!

7. You want to get the turkey to at least 165 degrees in the breast and thigh for safe eating.
8. Once you take it out of the smoker or oven let her rest for a bit so those juices get drawn back in for a nice juicy succulent Thanksgiving dinner that is sure to impress even the most discriminating pallet.

A little tip if you're up for carving: Cut the breasts off and slice against the grain for perfect slices.

THE PORKOSAURUS STORY
No one would have guessed that in 1994, a group of FedEx co-workers would come together to create a BBQ team that would grow into a family. Ultimately becoming an award-winning company (OVER 25 YEARS & MOST RECORD MEMPHIS IN MAY WINS) whose owners are as diverse as our flavor is unique.

Porkosaurus began with only a handful of members who equally enjoyed barbecue and camaraderie. After many backyard barbecues with family and friends, we decided to throw our hats into the competitive barbecue ring. Our newly created team quickly learned that cooking in the backyard was vastly different from the competitive barbeque. *Who knew? Determined to master the competitive circuit, our hodgepodge group confidently cooked, pigged out, reflected, learned and repeated. 
 
We even analyzed our competitors by devouring all the bbq we could get our claws on. (For Science...) Through these other competitors, we learned the secrets of low and slow cooking.
 
Over time our enthusiasm inspired both friends and more co-workers to join our team. What started as a local team in Memphis and grew nationally and internally.
