Ok, last weekends brisket frustrated me and I have less than two weeks until my big smoke. I did plan on pork butt only after messing up, but I don't want to lose to a brisket. . . I also promised everyone brisket and PP. I've internalized everyone's advice and re read other forum threads. So I will be practicing again. Basic rub tonight. Tomorrow I'll take precise notes on how I do this one and I do not have distractions of guests arriving and wanting to eat! I'm feeling confident. I'll post finishing this one and then will hold off until big smoke is starting/complete!

Didn't look bad, but too salty and I think I know what I did wrong. So, next week is my big smoke. We'll see how it goes.
 
Finally got a chance to really do what I started this whole thread for. My worn out pit against 70 Marines. Meal is this Friday after a motivating run. I took advice from everyone and started with 40 pounds of pork shoulder today and will start 50 pounds of brisket tomorrow night around 2100. Pictures follow:

40 pounds of pork shoulder waiting to get steady temp. Everything was on by 0700.

We kept catching people opening to look at where the amazing smell was coming from.

Posted a sign with little affect. They can't wait until Friday.

So I grabbed the armed compound Duty to make sure nobody else disturbed the process.

Looks like you did good to me. Great job, I bet it was all appreciated. Galley food gets old after awhile no matter how good the cooks are.

But of course that's Boat chow.

Thanks for all your help Foam!

Great thread, good job on the cook.
Most of all, thank you for your service.

Thank you PapaDon, I have to say I'm jealous of your new smoker! It would definitely make these wild ideas I get easier to execute!
 
PapaDon said:
Thank you.
I saved up for a long time to get what I wanted.
Just remember, it's the cook not the cooker that makes good food.

I can see you definitely saved! I agree it is the cook, but more space on my smoker would make these bigger events a lot easier to pull off! In the mean time I will save like you did and learn what I can from everyone here to make sure it is put to good use!
 
Man o man! Looks like it came out perfect. If I was guaranteed to be stationed near you I'd sign the dotted line!
As I said before thanks for your service brotha! You gotta teach me how to do brisket now!

LOL... I just noticed, it must have been good chow, I see the Lt. has the roll of tin foil by his plate. He's thinking about a go plate!

He got a second plate, but ate it before the day was over!

I'd be happy to have yah at my side! But As proud as I am of how this one turned out Foam and all the others on SMF are the ones that got me through it!
