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. But how do you get bark?Bark is formed when you caress perfectly seasoned meat with smoke, water vapor, and just the right amount of heat for hours on end until you are left with mouthwatering meat heaven.
The rubs, the type of wood used, and the amount of fat on the meat all factor into the chemical equation that results in bark formation. It is something that all pitmasters and barbecue aficionados live for. The tasty treat that is a sign of expertly prepared, properly barbecued meat. There are a lot of interesting things that happen chemically when you smoke that lead to the formation of bark. |
