    My first Attempt at Brisket

    That looks so good. Now I want to smoke another brisket. The ribs look good too. Nice bark on both.

    my Memorial Day brisket

    Well, I just got done eating my first Q' since getting the new choppers. Wasn't too bad, but I think I will stay with pulled/chopped portions. I have always preferred that over sliced anyway. The beans were good as always too. I guess I will start having to make a double batch of them- there is...

    my Memorial Day brisket

    Here is the brisket I smoked today for lunch tomorrow. It was a 10-lb packer. I smoked it with mesquite and a bit of pecan. Here is the pics- whole, flat sliced, the point chopped, and one of Jenniffer chopping the point. I also did a fatty, but it didn't make the appointment to the photo shoot...

    Curious - newbies, what thread/post hooked you?

    I found this forum because my grill ran out of gas, and it had the old style bottle. I decided to build a smoker- with no clue what I was doing really. I read all I could here, and asked questions, and gave me ideas. Built my smoker and been at it since. I stayed because of the help I got and...

    wild sow question

    Good. He is going to pop her in the head (.22LR) and skin her- the small ones too. He said she is about 60LBS and the babies are about 10LBS. Going to do them whole. I get half of them for doing it for him.

    Can a brisket be pulled?

    No pics then it didn't happen.

    wild sow question

    A guy at work has a momma, and 2 babies in his trap. If the momma is nursing, will that make the meat taste different? I told him I didn't think it would, but wanted to ask and make sure.

    Can a brisket be pulled?

    Why did you cut it in half? I never cut briskets until they have rested after being smoked. I always slice the flat, and pull the point. My wife likes the sliced for her sammies, and I like shredded for mine.

    got my dentures today

    I had my wisdoms pulled a long time ago. I had all 10 remaining uppers pulled. I will be glad when the stitches are dissolved, and my gums are healed up. They do feel funny though, you are right about that. Feels kinda like the "vampire teeth" we wore as kids. The hardest part so far is the "gag...

    got my dentures today

    Well, I got my uppers pulled Monday, and got my new teeth today. As soon as the swelling goes down I will take a pic for y'all to see. I haven't really had any pain from the extractions. Just a little swelling. Two days with no upper teeth was kind of rough. Get to eat real food tonight, or try...

    Briskett Purchasing/Foil Wrap

    Oh yeah, I smoke mine one day and we eat it the next day. And the next day. I never plan on eating it the day I smoke it.

    Bush's grillin' beans

    Anyone tried them yet? We got some of the brown sugar and bourbon ones and ate them yesterday. I (and the wife) think the baked beans are better. Might try all the varieties that are out just to see which ones we like. I make straight out of the can for starters.

    Briskett Purchasing/Foil Wrap

    The general guideline is 1.5 hours/LB. Each smoker is different. My smoker does brisket more like 1.0-1.25 hours/LB. Take the brisket to 185° in the flat, and you can slice the flat. I slice the flat and pull (make shredded) the point. That way we have sliced and shredded brisket. The shredded...

    Briskett Purchasing/Foil Wrap

    For a brisket, you want a "packer" cut. At your local grocery store, look for the cheapest briskets they have- $$/LB. Here they are on sale for $1.27/LB right now. That is what you want. Find a nice 8-12LB one. Lay it flat on the edge of your hand, and if it folds almost in two it is a nice one...

    ABT Q View

    Those look tasty, Joe. I love ABTs. For milder ABTs, use Anaheim peppers. That is what I do for the wife sometimes. She can't eat hot stuff too often.

    I finally got to smoke something

    I pulled the point, and sliced the flat. That is the way I always do brisket. I just applied Jeff's rub to it before I started my fire. By the time the temp was even in the smoker, i had my ABTs stuffed and ready to go, along with the ribs.

    I finally got to smoke something

    I told the wife I am smoking this weekend, since I won't get to eat any Q for a little while. So yesterday I did a 13-LB brisket; I also did a rack of spares, and a dozen ABTs- but they didn't make it to picture time. I have a batch of beans in the oven right now, along with the brisket heating...

    still around

    I haven't posted in a while. i haven't really got to smoke anything lately. I did smoke some hamburgers Saturday night. Didn't get any q-view. Anyway, this Thursday I am getting my impressions for dentures done, pick them up next week. Then on Monday, May 5th, I get them pulled and the dentures...
