Work cook

[JLeonard]

My department at work has decided to do a monthly meal for birthdays and sometimes just for a reason to eat (like any of us need a reason, right?). Well with Memorial Day coming up and the start of grills season, we decided on BBQ. I volunteered to do the proteins (any reason to roll smoke, you know?).
So here we have 3 half butts, couldn’t find a whole butt in the whole city. The Memphis in May BBO comp is going on, may be the reason for that. Also doing a brisket flat SmokinAl style. Also got a pan of Dutch’s wicked beans to go later.

Smoker settled in at 265 degrees with a little cherry wood for smoke and flavor. Will update as the cook goes on.

small flat off the cooker. Let it rest an hour. Tender, juicy and excellent! I took it out of the foil pan for about the last hour and put more pepper on it. Figured it had enough salt from the soup. Don’t know if it will make it to work tomorrow!!!
will be doing It this way again. Pure magic SmokinAl

BRISKET FLAT, MY WAY

It's no secret that a lot of folks have a problem smoking a small well trimmed brisket flat. I to had my struggles for a while, but a couple of years ago I found this method and have been using it ever since. So I would like to share my method with all of you. If you already are successful...

Brisket looks great, Jim. I've used Al's technique and you can't go wrong with it. Now we need the pork pictures...

 

[JLeonard]

2 crockpots of pulled pork. 1 of Dutch wicked beans, small crockpot of smoked sausage in BBQ sauce. And on the plates pic, 1st of two, sammich, potato salad, slaw on the sammich. One of the ladies I work with brought 3 dozen tamales. And my boss brought brownies that just topped it off! Needless to say my whole dept is totally worthless for the rest of the day. The meat was still good and moist even after evenings packed in the ‘pots overnight in the fridge.
