    I Stole a Brisket Today

    That's great. Every now and then things work the way they should. If I were you, I'd save enough for a good sandwich for that butcher. Let him know you appreciated his reward for your honesty! Hurry up and smoke it!

    brisket HELP!!

    I think they just do that sometimes. I started using a drip pan, then foiling with those juices in the drip pan to keep it from getting too dry. If it wasn't all that great as is, don't lose hope. It would make a killer chili, or pot pie, quesadilla, etc. If you don't want the rest, send it...

    Re-heating Brisket??????

    I prefer to use the crockpot. I did a brisket Friday night and had to rush it. It served on Saturday well enough, but was a little tough because it was rushed. After we got home, I put the remaining brisket in the crockpot with all of the juices and let it do whatever it does in there for a...

    Leftover Brisket

    Sometimes I'll reserve a lot of my brisket pieces, a couple pork shoulder "corners" and smoke some sausage to cube up into chili with some stew type meat that's of course been smoked. This makes a mean chili and the brisket with the carmelization is a great change up in chili. Another month or...

    Tenderloin help please?

    Dutch has a thread with a good stuffed loin recipe. I've done that a couple times and it's good stuff.

    Something Different - Smoked Pork Spiedies!!!

    Looks good to me. I love speides! If you want an alternative, try some chiavetta's marinade. It's a little stronger (vinegar based), but is very good served the same way as a speide.

    Boston Butt Leftovers: What to do with it!

    I just put it in a freezer bag and save it for a "rainy day". It's great for those nights when your kids have some sort of practice and event and you want a really good quick dinner. It would also make a good quesadilla. With left over brisket, if you can stand to spare the burnt ends, use...

    Brinkmann Vertical Smoker

    pinto, you need to try the piedmont water pan method. I have the same smoker as you. You can do it two ways, one with two water pans screwed together using spacers to create an air barrier between the two. I do it the cheap way by using heavy duty foil over my water pan, leaving an air gap...

    Brisket Again!

    Ok, I pulled it off the smoker at around 10 pm. This will be a reheat tomorrow afternoon. Smells great! I used someone's trick here of using toothpicks to mark the path of the grain to help with slicing. I used a drip pan on the rack below the brisket to catch any juices and poured that in...

    Brisket Again!

    I haven't posted in a while but I haven't smoked anything exciting lately except butts and ribs, etc. I did a brisket last week and it was awesome, so my wife asked me to smoke one tonight. I'm off this week. Ok, we went to Sam's and picked up a brisket and it's now on the smoker with some...

    Friday Night Brisket and Butt

    Ok, so here's how things went down. I started the smoker at about 1130 (i.e. 2330) Friday. I used aluminum foil in the water pan to create an air pocket. I basically foiled about half the depth of the pan. This seemed to work fine, but what I learned is that I'm not good at making seams in...

    Friday Night Brisket and Butt

    Well, it was eaten! I can take pic or two tomorrow. This evening was too hectic, but things went really well. I smoked some beans along with the butt and brisket. At around 11 this morning, I pulled the meat off the smoker, foiled and put the brisket in the oven foiled at 225, and put the...
