Made it to 190 at 11:30. Cubed the point & seasoned & sauced again. Put the burnt ends in a foil pan & back in the smoker. Flat was still a little tough, so leaving it in another 5 degrees at least. I want to slice it and still have it tender. Foil pan must have taken up too much space...
Hit 165 degrees at 7:20. This cooks way faster when you separate the two pieces (guess I should have expected that). Put on a thin coat of Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy sauce & put it back in the smoker. Also added some baking potatoes rolled in evo & kosher salt. Pecan smoke & brisket is...
Just put my second attempt at brisket into the MES. Since I wasn't entirely satisfied with my first attempt, this time I thought I'd try something different. Got a 10lb packer & separated the point from the flat. After trimming the fat & using a jaccard on it, marinated with State Fair...
I ran into the same problem at Home Depot. Got a piece of slate, & it cracked in half on my first smoke. Went with a 12x12 glazed tile after that & it's been working great.
I use State Fair brand Chicken Marinade all the time. Incredible stuff! Just used it on 10lbs of bs chicken breasts last week. Tenderized first with a Jaccard, then put it in a 2.5 gallon bag with 4 bottles of marinade. Left it in the fridge for 4 days, just taking it out each day to stir it...
Of course I don't want to give out specifics of Jeff's recipe. But I thought before I try changing things, I could hear from others about tweaks they've tried. I figured if anyone had anything too detailed, they could pm me.
Been using Jeff's rub for a while and I'm loving it! But to change things up a bit, was thinking I would try it without the sugar next time on some bs chicken breasts. Has anyone else tried it this way? Any thoughts? Any other tweaks to the recipe I should consider?
Wow! Thanks to Jeff's newsletter, I tried smoked meatloaf yesterday. That was freaking awesome. Best meatloaf ever. Now I wish I would have taken some pics, but at the time I was too excited to eat it. Threw a couple potatoes in with it & those rocked too. Finished the potatoes in the oven...
