    B&B Competition Char-Logs?

    @SmokinLogs sorry meant to reply to this a while back. Been on the road for work a lot here lately. Just got a chance to use them last week. Probably the whole top half of my bag was busted apart. Looks like it took a pretty hard spill. Being busted, I probably had all sections that were 2...

    Will do, and yeah, it’s different from most places for sure. North Alabama especially.

    Small Brisket Flat & Butt

    Well, pulled the pork... Pulled the brisket from the cooler... And sliced away. Kiddos and wife loved it all. Now that the kids are asleep and the kitchens cleaned I can get these posted. Brisket wasn’t the most tender but was still good. Just not “competition” pull apart.

    Small Brisket Flat & Butt

    Lil butt hit about 205 and the bone was loose so I wrapped amid moved it to the cooler. That brisket is sloooow. Taking about as long as the last full packer I did.

    Small Brisket Flat & Butt

    Only about a minute. Didn’t open the smoker till I had the paper cut and ready. It just hit 156, so maybe I’m getting past the stall? I didn’t expect it with the paper. I usually cook straight thru with no crutch.

    Small Brisket Flat & Butt

    Didn’t think to take prep pictures this morning. Took one of the lil baby brisket flat when I trimmed the fat cap down some Yesterday before seasoning with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Lil butt was “brined” in an apple juice/salt/pepper/rosemary mix overnight. Rubbed with S&P and...

    Sure haven’t tried any Shagbark yet, but would like to. I’ll see if my buddy has some, I think he dropped some earlier this year.

    hickory

    Rudy- I can't say one was better for sure, but my dad's Bitternut hickory (and Pecan) from his property seemed to burn better (a little hotter and cleaner) than the Pignut I've got at the house. I'd say maybe it was how he stored it, but he just lined the side of his pole barn with split...
