In disclosure, I have a great sense of smell. I can generally pick out odors no one else can smell.
So I have done butts the traditional way and other ways. On several of them I smell a foul odor after they have been cooked. I know the meat was good going into the smoker and when it came out. We have eaten the meat and everyone liked it, no complaints, I just smell something off on about 15% of the butts. No one else can smell it.
A month or so ago I made two meat loafs (beef and sausage mix). I smoked one and froze the other. The first one was awesome. No identified odor. A couple days ago I smoked the second one and once again I smelled that foul odor after it was smoked. Nothing beforehand. No one else could smell the odor. It actually resembles a decomposition type odor to me. Gross.
Does anyone have any idea what I could be smelling on some of the meat? It always is with pork, never before being cooked. Always after it was cooked. Again, the meat was always done and tasted good. But the odor just about makes be puke. Looking to try to find an answer.
Thanks all
