    First Brisket

    So I threw the rub on yesterday afternoon around 1PM.  I intended to put it in last night, but that didn't happen.  So it's been sitting all rubbed up for 27 hours.  Here is the rub I used: 1/3 cup kosher salt 1/4 cup coarse ground black pepper 1 TBS onion powder 1 TBS granulated garlic 1...

    First Brisket

    :)  I found this site that said if the packer is too big to fit in a vertical smoker, fold some of the flat under.  Maybe I'll just do that? I know the MES have notoriously bad thermometers, but I apparently got really lucky and mine is quite accurate.  I also do all the tricks you mentioned on...

    First Brisket

    Thanks Earl.. I was just reading through this thread as well which was loaded with people saying not to trim the fat cap.  And you're right about the bark -- I may just not foil it and just make this incredibly simple.  I'm going to go rub it now and put it on later this afternoon (after my...

    First Brisket

    Hi all, I've been smoking for a couple of years now but for some reason have never tried a brisket.  The time has come. Picked up this 12 pounder and planning on starting it Wednesday or Thursday, but trying to sift through all the details is making my brain hurt.  This post is going to be...

    Father's Day Carne Asada

    Well maybe I'll have to give skirt steak another shot on a smaller scale... just grilling one up hot and fast after a short marinade.  I think my marinade is so overwhelming that even if the steak were cooked perfectly, it would have only added a better texture and I could have gotten the same...

    Father's Day Carne Asada

    Totally agree, and those were my worries. To boot,my amnps didn't burn properly so I had to relight it after the meat had been on for about 45 minutes and left it in the smoker longer than I intended. Here are a few pictures I didn't post.

    Father's Day Carne Asada

    So the meat is super tough, so I had to chop the hell out of it, but the flavor is out of this world! And that is because of the marinade, not the meat. I don't know that I would ever buy skirt steak again. But the meat and the pico have a flavor that I've never experienced before and it is...

    The pico de gallo is done, just waiting on the meat. I've never made pico before and MAN is it good, and it's so simple! We already have all sorts of plans for what else we are going to eat it on!
