I have some family coming into town this weekend and I wanted to get a little head start on the main course. Nosing around Walmart turned up this huge beast....almost 19 lbs! I've never done one this big so it's new territory for me. I suspect that it will cook up just the same as all the others that I've done.
Here is the monster fresh from the store....I won't trim any of that tasty fat until after it's smoked....the bottom has quite a layer. Waiting makes it 10 times easier.
It really is that big!
Here she is in all her naked glory......
All rubbed up with McCormicks Texas low and slow rub (this stuff is actually pretty good...I've used it in the past). I also inject my briskets with a 33%-66% ratio of worcestershire sauce and beef broth.....Done properly the injection really adds some great flavor to the meat.
I had to really cram this thing on my 22.5" WSM....Luckily the handles on the top grate could contain this thing!
I got it going a little late this morning but I won't be eating it tonight anyway.....Started @ 7 am.....I'll keep you guys posted.
