Hey everybody! Did a Brisket on the offset on Saturday and was very happy with the results! Im guessing it was about 6.5 to 7lbs (it was homegrown and butchered on the family farm and I didnt weigh it) i smoked it with mesquite chips soaked. I also did a batch of wicked baked beans and mac and cheese. I kind of mixed and matched some recipies I found here on SMF so instead of trying to thank everyone individually I want to thank everyone! I cant tell you all how much Ive learned since joining the site!



Used yellow mustard and rubbed down with Jeff's rub the night before and wrapped in plastic rub and put in fridge.


Got the smoker going around 9am the next morning at our campground


Pulled of and wrapped at 160 deg F with a little homemade sauce on top



Once the brisket reached 180 degrees and almost ready to pull off I threw the Beans and Mac and Cheese on with some soaked Hickory chips


When it reached 185 degrees I pulled off, wrapped in towels and put in the cooler for about an hour and a half, this is after its rest.


Had to sneak a taste, lol


Was very happy with the results, and it was the best smoke ring I've ever gotten!



The beans and mac and cheese were both on about 2 hours. Overall a great day and meal, thanks for checking it out!

Serve me up man that looks good can I get more info on the mac and cheese recipe and temp you smoked and how long I think the kids would love this

thanks, Steve.
 
Yeah sure Steve. I found it on a forum here, but I changed it up a bit. The original called to layer a box of elbow Mac, uncooked, a stick of butter sliced over it, then layer shredded cheddar over it and then shredded mozzarella. I substituted a 1/3 of a block of velveeta cubed up instead of the shredded cheddar. Then dumped 5 cups of milk over the top and threw it into the smoker at around 240 deg for 2 hours and 15 minutes with hickory chips for the smoke. Hope this helps I didn't really measure much. My wife and 7 year old son loved it!
 
Awesome job on that smoke. Great smoke ring on the brisket

looks awesome i wanna good serving of all thanks.
 
I'd hit that.  Hell of a smoke ring. 

I've been itching to do a brisket lately and this is pushing me further into the mecca.  Thanks for the Q view.
 
I'd be lying if I told you I know how much time it took, I really concentrated only on IT this time, wrapped it at 160deg, pulled it off to rest at 185 deg, really is the way to go.  The pit stayed at 225-235 the entire cook.
 
I just reread your post. I love the fact it was from your family farm. We have several head of cattle, but if i was to even think of breaking one down. My wife would lose it. She already has issues when we take them to the market. She tells herself they are going to be pets!!!!
