Been smokin for 7 years, but I am in a rut with the same recipes. After having a pastrami meal at a friend's house, I decided to try a homegrown one. He ordered a Katz's pastrami, and I told him I would bring my slicer over, but it was WAY to tender for the slicer, so I used my knife and cut it...
This is what I use. Very sharp, very hard steel so it stays sharp, but you will need to sharpen it at some point. You can send it to various sharpeners, or learn to sharpen yourself, which is a skill that is useful for us smokers.

Add a little home smoked chesse to the mixture. Stir until melted. You won't beleive how good it tastes. We use cheddar or Havarti.
Start with about a 1 inch square of cheese. Grate it before adding to the standard boxed mac and cheese. Adjust to taste from there.

Agree that foiling allows you to save the Au Jus and add back to the sliced brisket.
I usually smoke to 165 degrees, wrap in foil, then take it to 205. If you think it needed more smoke, next time just turn down the temp a little so it takes a bit longer to get to 165. Then take it to 205 (or...
Now I am tempted to take it to 145.
What do you recommend for a time/temperature program for a hot smoke? I.E. Cold smoke for so many hours then take the smoker to ??? degrees until an IT of 145. I am assuming it is not a 30 hour smoke, but am not sure.

Thanks, I appreciate the input from both of you. I will extend my smoke plans to 25 - 30 hours.
One last question/comment.
I have made Canadian Bacon at least 4 times in the last 6 months. It is a huge hit with family and friends. But, I want my BBB to be different from the CB.
The last...
I'm one of the guys who drilled holes in the bottom of my Cookshack clone. I am glad I did, because I have used it wide open for:
Jerky
cold smoked cheese
and now cold smoked BBB
It obviously improves air flow which in the case of the jerky vents the moisture better, and in the case of cold...
Dave - Thanks for the reply.
I plan on keeping the meat in the brine for 10 days. Yes, it is in the fridge. I'll then cold smoke it for 12 -15 hours, then allow to rest in the fridge for 3-4 days before slicing and packaging.
Do you think it is advantageous to keep it in the fridge a day or so...
I have a 9lb butt deboned, butterflied and in Pop's brine. I am not sure if I can cold smoke when the ambient air temps are ~80 degrees. I cold smoked a lot of cheese this winter, and it turned out great until the ambient temp. hit about 55 degrees. The AMPS in my smoker then generated enough...
The next Shun I have for sale is a MH-0726 stainless handled 6"utility knife that was a collaboration with Alton Brown and Shun. This would be a great way to try the Shun VG10 stainless on a knife blade. The knife has been used. The blade has no nicks or chips, but does have minor surface...
Another Shun on the block.
This knife is used and shows surface scratches. The scratches are not as bad as the photos show, but make no mistake, this is not "out of the box" new. The scratches can NOT be felt with a fingernail drawn along the surface of the knife. The handle is blemish free...
