    First Brisket!! / future q/view

    For the beans I followed Dutch's recipe. They were in for about 3 hours. the au jus was in as long as the brisket so it could catch the drippings. The strange thing was that I tasted the au jus just as everything came out and it seemed to be fine, but when I served a couple of hours later it...

    First Brisket!! / future q/view

    My company just left. The brisket came out great. The a jus had a strong smokey flavor that was somewhat unpleasant. It was bitter. The beans had a little of that flavor too. I think I left them in too long. Any ideas?? Anyway I took the brisket to 167 then foiled it and took it to 185. The...

    First Brisket!! / future q/view

    It's a pan of beef stock with onions directly under the brisket catching the drippings. Should be good on anything, like a truck bumper.

    First Brisket!! / future q/view

    My sister-in-law and her family are coming over tonight for a visit and I've been volunteered to "smoke something". In spite of it being the first perfect weather weekend to hunt, I'm a little excited about cooking my first brisket. I found a 9 pounder at Sam's. After I trimmed it, it was about...

    First time ribs...and more Q/view

    I was using Jeff's rib rub. The one he has for sale on the web site. It's perfect. I also used his BBQ sauce recipe for the first time last night and it was also outstanding.

    First time ribs...and more Q/view

    Ribs are finished and tasted great, but they were a little tougher than I thought they would be. I discovered that I did a 3-1-1 process instead of a 3-2-1 process. Next time. The roast is still resting. Here are the finished photos.

    Here's the photos. The burgers were a little underdone for my taste, but it can't be too bad because I'm eating one right now....LOL

    Beef Tenderloin W/Q-view

    I'm in my blind now and it's still in the truck, but I'm very distracted by the thought of lunch and it's only 8:15 am. It will be a miracle if it makes it past 10:00 am. LOL!!!

    Beef Tenderloin W/Q-view

    I just finished eating dinner and I have to say that that was a fine steak!! It's so much better using temperature rather than time to tell when to remove the meat from the fire. A couple more photos below.

    Beef Tenderloin W/Q-view

    Was at Sams today and saw some nice looking beef tenderloin steaks, so I decided to pick some up. I'm not necessarily going to smoke them, but I'm going to cook it on the grill with a little sugar maple smoke. It should be great. I seasoned with a dusting of Holliers Cajun seasoning and then...
