Hello all,

As some of you may have read in the roll call section, I received a brinkmann vertical for Christmas.

I did my first smoke christmas day and i turned out so well i could not wait to try it again.

Yesterday, I went to the store and came out with a brisket flat and a rack of babybacks.

I injected the brisket with some beef stock and apple juice mixed with a little rub.

Rubbed everything down and wrapped it up for the night. This morning at 7:00 am . I jumped out of bed ready to go. I got the pit going and away we went.

The ribs I ended up smoking with the 2-2-1 method. Spritzing with apple juice every hour.

The brisket stalled out at 155 degrees for over 2 hours. I was getting a little worried but thanks to all the advice Ive read here i knew to let it ride it out.

I foiled the brisket at 170 and continued smoking till it hit 190ish. I pulled it out and rested it in a cooler for about 1.5 hours.

Anyway, I owe so much to the SMF forums and all of the advice and tutorials i have read from here.

Everything turned out perfect. I cannot wait to hit the store looking for my next project. This stuff is just too much fun.

Unfortunately, I don't have any in process pics. Just the finished ones.

Enjoy









Thanks,
Chris

Hey all,

Thanks for all the kind words.

I really have picked up so much from SMF. I don't think the results would have been the same without you all here.

Thanks,
Chris

Man oh Man you did a greta job on the brisket and those ribs look awesome. The smoke ring was really nice and the ribs were nice and I like the sauce you used on them too.

Just have to be awarded for your pulling this smoke off for one and then some more for your excitement that you are showing us out here.

Fine , might fine, great looking Q. I see you paid attention to the forum on that stall. A lot of people get fooled by it, and start to figdet, tweaking this and tweaking that. Great job and thanks for the Qview for us "Q" addicts.

Chris,

Amazing job for a second smoke. Glad to see you are putting that new smoker to good use!

I guarantee that you couldn't get anything as good as that if you went out to eat...It is an artisan craft to turn out great 'Que, and I can tell you are well on your way.

to you...keep up the good work.
