    storing of brisket before cooking

    Chris, as long as your rub is not curing salt or a ton of table salt but some salt, brown sugar, garlic, onion powder etc... it should turn out great.

    storing of brisket before cooking

    If the meat is fresh from the butcher you should be fine in the fridge, I wouldn't freeze it. Why not rub the meat with seasoning now? Then you can marinate it on Friday.

    Smoking Ribeye?

    Don't really need much for Prime rib, the flavor of the meat and marbled fat gives it great flavor. I usually rub with EVOO some sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic. Of course serve with Au Jus or some horse radish sauce.

    Quikie Country Ribs

    I think a lot has to do with fat content, I love Ribeye my wife likes Filet. The Country ribs seem to have a higher fat content.

    Do You All Clean Your Smoker?

    Just a question about cleaning, I have a MES that I bought about a year and a half ago, I have used it around 30 times. I do clean the drip pans and water pan, I have not cleaned the interior. I'm thinking it adds to the flavor etc... Sort of like a seasoned cast iron skillet. I had just posted...

    Quikie Country Ribs

    OK, my main objective today was Canadian Bacon (posted on bacon forum) but needed to have dinner so I went and bought a small pack of Country ribs. Since I had the tenderloin soaking in the cure/brine I added the ribs for a few hours and then smoked. 210 for 3 hours then wrapped in foil with...

    brine and bone

    $5.99!!! WOW I can get good ribeyes on sale around here for that! On sale we get boneless breast for around $1.65/lb. I think its a double edged sword, I also like to make my own broth so the bones would be great for that, but I also think cooking with the bones in adds flavor.

    Breaking Down Cartilage Or Connective Tissue In Brisket?

    Rich is correct, if you have ever cooked stew, the meat is done (cooked) within 10 minutes of boiling in broth and up to temp but if you used regular chuck or stew meat it would be tough to eat. However after 2-3 hours on the stove you can cut it with a fork.

    Canadian Bacon Qview

    I had a couple of small (skinny)Tenderloins in the freezer so after reading Cowgirls thread, I decided to try. I did a brine on one and a dry cure for the other. I used tender quick, brown sugar, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaf for the brine. Used tenderquick, brown sugar and msg for the dry...

    smoking a Brisket

    I think "Packer Trimmed" means it will have some fat still left on the brisket it will be cheaper than butcher trimmed. You can choose from the whole brisket or the "flat" & "point".
