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.
I use a crisscrossed layer of aluminum foil to wrap the smoked brisket. Center the flat on the foil and bring the edges up and around the brisket. Before closing the foil, pour in 1 cup of beef broth for additional moisture. Seal the foil tight and place the smoked brisket back on the smoker. At this point time is out the window.
