I will happily try this. It’s enough to have filled my 7.1cuft chest freezer to the top so I really want to waste as little as possible. How will I know if I must marinate it twice?
Something I did notice, it’s 90% roasts and chops evenly split. I’ve done a roast (left overnight in the fridge with a mustard binder and dry rub) and then smoke it for maybe 1.5-2 hrs and it was fine. The night before was the same prep but chops and in the air fryer (never again) and it was burning my sinuses. The next time (I may hate myself, I don’t know) I did chops again but in the smoker with no binder, salt bathed for an hour leading up to and just a dry rub and it stank up my grease bucket. ETA: it also was still detectable around the fattier bits. It was a shorter smoke, which is why I was hoping removing the fat beforehand would be sufficient.
It’s been wildly hit or miss. So thank you again for the info!
