    brisket and whiskey

    the last brisket i smoked,didn't inject the brisket w/ whiskey, but i did soak the blk pepper in it before i mixed it w/ the salt and rubbed. i used bushmills, and i think the peat inhibits the uptake of smoke, next brisket, 4th weekend, salt and smoke, that's how i'm rollin.

    Cajun Green Onion Sausage?

    fennel and fresh onion go very well together. my approach to this green onion cajun would be salt the onion, add an additional white onion, small amount of thyme, a bit of crushed red pepper, stuff it, grill some while ur smokin some, cold beer.
