    brisket and beans

    I use my own recipe for baked beans, that I thought of after making Dutch's. I take a can of Bush's Baked Beans, add one can of diced green chiles, some ketchup, or Jeff's BBQ sauce (if I have some ready). Then I add some turbinado sugar, some brisket juice, and maybe a jalapeno.

    brisket and beans

    Meowey, she says boil one dozen eggs. Then mix the yolks with 3-tbs mustard and 1-tbs mayo. Then add either 2-tbs relish or 2-tbs pickles chopped up. Mix everything then stuff the agg halves. Sprinkle with paprika.

    brisket and beans

    Here is the brisket (11.69-LB packer) I smoked last night. I took it to 160° in the smoker, then put it in the oven at 200° all night. Got up this morning and put the oven to 250°. It cooked for a total of 17 hours. Not much of a smoke ring, but it sure it tender and tasty. I made some beans...

    Smoker / Grill construction

    I made the smoker in my sig pic, and am in the process of making another just like it- with a diiferent firebox. I also made a vertical out of two 55-gallon drums for a guy at work.

    Here is a pic I got as I put them in the smoker. I took the thermo out right after this pic was taken.

    propane tank smoker we built

    I agree, you should have place the firebox lower. Also, the exhaust stack should be on the opposite end of the firebox, coming out of the end, just below the cooking grate.

    pork brisket strips- what they were labeled as

    Last weekend, when we went grocery shopping, I was looking at the briskets, ribs, and such they keep in that part of the meat area. I always see these packages that are cryopacked in the end of the case, that are labeled "pork brisket strips". I decided to buy one just to see what they were...

    Brisket I smoked yesterday

    Here is a couple of pics of the brisket I smoked yesterday. It was an 11-lb packer. I also made a batch of beans today, and the wife made devilled eggs. These are the only pics I got, sorry. I barely got these. Didn'y get any pics of the ABTs, they were good though.

    Brisket cooking time

    When we want brisket, I smoke it on Saturday, and we eat it on Sunday...and Monday. Monday I take all that is left to work for my crew to eat with me. I smoked one yesterday, I pulled the point while my wife sliced the flat- at 3:00 a.m. It is in the oven with some beans warming back up.

    A nice packer brisket, ABTs, breakfast sausage links, and wicked beans. That is the menu this weekend.

    marinating a brisket?

    Ok, I talked to him tonight at work. He is not sure what the guy did, but he understands what I told him about rub vs. marinate. He is going to let her taste some of the brisket I am smoking tomorrow. I can fit 4-6 briskets in my smoker. Plus, I have the almost finished one in the garage- I...

    marinating a brisket?

    That is what I was wondering too. I wrap mine all the time, to rest over night in the fridge after rubbing. I am smoking a brisket tomorrow, and he told me last night he is bringing one to work today for me to do also, for her to try out. I will rub one overnight in the fridge, and rub one in...

    marinating a brisket?

    A guy at work wants me to smoke 10 briskets for him next weekend. His wife wants them marinated for 3 days first though. They used to pay a guy here in town to smoke their briskets (for parties and such), and he told them that he marinated them for 3 days. I told him I never marinate mine, that...

    ABT trays

    Go to the gallery and look at my pics. Look at the one I made. Any welding shop ought to be able to make you one pretty cheap. Mine measures 12" x8" and has 35 1" holes.

    Smokin' steaks

    I have smoked some ribeyes. They were very good. I sprinkled on some rub, and smoked them to 180°. They were fork tender, and flaked apart like fish does. Smoke ring was all the way thru the steaks. I plan on doing some more some day.

    Why smoke beyond two hours?

    Thanks, Ron and Dude, for clarifying the smoke ring vs. smoke flavor temp thing, yet again. I have smoke going the whole time I have something to eat in the smoker. I love the smoke flavor- the more the better. Maybe we ought to have some kind of note where everyone can see it, no matter what...

    ABT stuffing

    How does the mozzarella work out? Does it melt good? I usually use cheddar, colbyjack, or monterey jack for mine. I make some with cream cheese for the wife.
