    In The Beginning (Brisket)

    Thanks for the replies guys.  I'm not sure why Brisket is supposed to be such a challenge.  This is the fifth one I've done and all of them turned out fine.  I know most everyone says 1.5 to 2 hours per pound  but this one was done in a little over 8 hours which was a little over 1 hours per...

    In The Beginning (Brisket)

    The brisket I pictured in this thread cost $4.59 a pound at Publix.  I think from now on I am going to buy all my meat for smoking at a local Butcher Shop.  I have been told the meat selection there is much better and prices are less than the supermarket chains.  Even better yet I will be...

    In The Beginning (Brisket)

    Okay the brisket is done.  Came out with a really nice bark.  It was done by 4:30 so I wrapped it in aluminum foil and put it in a cooler for a couple of hours.  I was going to take a pic of the slices but 8 people polished it off so I only got the finished pic.  Guess I need to be a little...

    In The Beginning (Brisket)

    Well I let it marinate for 24 hours in a mixture of orange juice, soy sauce, and Lea and Perins.  This morning I let it drain and patted it down before applying my own rub plus some Old Bay.   Put it in the smoker @ 8:00 EST and hope it is done by 6:00.  It is a 7 lb brisket.  I have apple juice...

    First Boston Butt

    Yes I do.  Love going after reds and have fished Cedar Key in the past but usually end up in Crystal River Area.  If you see this boat come over and say hello or maybe we can just go fishing in my boat.

    Hello to everyone.  Just found this forum which is very cool.  My name is Jim and I'm kind of retired.  I am an independent all lines claims adjuster and only work hurricane damaged areas.    I've been smoking for ten years or so but on a traditional smoker.  About 6 months ago I picked up a...

    First Boston Butt

    Thanks for the comment.  Yep sliced pork not pulled.  From what I've read I'd need to get the butt up to 195 or so.

    First Boston Butt

    Thanks for the comment and I fixed my profile.  My name is Jim, not Johnnie.  I was thanking Johnnie for telling me how to post a pic on this site.  I see you are in Sebring.  Love that area.  Any decent fish in the lake that is in Sebring  that US27 runs by on the west side?

    First Boston Butt

    I have had my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker for about 6 months but have never tried a Boston Butt.  I bought a good looking 7 pound butt at Publix and when I got home washed it with fresh water, applied lots of L&P Worcestershire Sauce, then rubbed it down with a homemade rub.   Put it in the...
