October Weather on Santorini: October is much like May but the weather is moving in the opposite direction. There is often a large difference between early October (when days can be hot and sunny) and late October â when you can find some cool rainy days and visits to the beach seem a distant memory.
Bark is the combination of the spices that you rubbed on your meat and the smoke from your smoker, combining with the meat protein in a chemical reaction. Good bark on a brisket or pork shoulder will make the meat resemble a giant hunk of track ballast or a meteor (the flavor is out of this world too). Smoked meat, like onions, parfaits, and ogres has layers. There is the juicy inner meat, the thin, membranous pellicle, and then the bark protecting it all.
(When cooking, place the fat cap up so the juices are absorbed into the meat.) Create a dry rub using one part salt and nine parts coarse-ground pepper, then liberally coat the meat with the seasoning and massage it in. Now youâre ready to smoke a brisket thatâs a cut above.
