It’s fine, I try to at least sweat my spices in for a minimum of 24, have done several at 72 hours as long as your wrapped well with cling wrap. How long does it take to get great well aged beef? Weeks. Your meat on that shoulder just won’t get many spices down deep unless you let it sit.
Ribs, tenderloins, and sausage. Lawry's salt on the ribs and tenderloins.
I think I am going to throw the sausages in with my hot pickled eggs.

Well it ain't Sausage OR Smoke Cooked but I got a bit of Chicken Stock made today. Well actually it was yesterday and today.
I used a 10 pound bag of chicken hindquarters that I picked up at WalMart for $6.00. I then pressure cooked them at 15 pounds pressure for two hours and then drug the hindquarters out and strained the liquid. I then put the chicken back in and covered it with water and processed it at 15 pounds pressure for an hour and a half. Then I strained it into a different pot and put both out in the unheated garaged overnight.
This allows the fat to gather at the top. The last bit was still liquid but the original was jelled so I drained the second one through the cloth and spooned the first one to get most of the fat out.
Then both were combined and then simmered to where I liked the way it tasted. The were then canned.

Is it worth all of the hassle??? Well a can of Swanson Chicken Stock at WalMart is currently $0.78 cents and so this is $10.14 but I have the electricity and my time but it is well worth it as I know what's in it! Chicken! Well a half of an onion----------------------------
By the way---the bones just crumbled and the meat had no flavor at all once the second time was done. Sorry but Travis didn't get any--he's got a sensitive stomach and I didn't want to push it.
Is it worth it? Hell yes. Home made stock is great.
It don't get any better, IMO.
I save the beef broth from when I smoked and braised a chuck roast. Only difference, is I refrigerated it to bring the fat to the surface and harden for removal, then froze the broth for later use
Ahhhh, smoked ajus. Works like a ham hock, for bean soup.
