    Brisket Disaster

    You're right. It takes mistakes to appreciate perfection. The hubs thought it hilarious that I was so proud when the meat hit the plateau. I think I was on the right track; I just stopped too soon. After beautiful 70+ weather all week, we suddenly dropped to a high in the 40s, thunderstorms...

    My First Pastrami

    I have a small corned beef soaking for tomorrow. It's only the hubs and me. This was definitely the thread I needed. I already have rye bread in the bread machine, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and strong garlic pickles.

    Brisket Disaster

    It's actually looking pretty good in the slow cooker. Maybe it wasn't overdone after all. I have a 30". Unless kids and friends come over, it's just the hubs and me, so I don't need anything big. Once I get more experience with how things are supposed to look and taste, I'll probably get an...

    Brisket Disaster

    At 175 it looked dry inside and was tough on the outside. I didn't take it to 190 or 200, because it already looked dry and felt almost hard. I took it out at 185, doubled the foil, wrapped in towels, and put it in the cooler. Thermometer would barely go in. It is now in the slow cooker with...

    Brisket Disaster

    Yesterday's brisket was a disaster. Smoked it at 235-240. Plateaued around 160, so I patiently waited. It finally began rising again, and at 175 I foiled it with a little beef broth and some of the drippings. It looked a little tough, but I thought the juices would help. I pulled it, hoping...

    First brisket

    First brisket

    I'm smoking my first brisket on the MES. Lots of questions: At what temp do I smoke? We want it for slicing, so at what temp do I pull it? Should I foil it and finish it in the oven? I've just read so many ideas, but I can't quite put them together. Thanks

    My Try at Corning Beef

    Trying my first brisket tomorrow, but now I'm thinking about doing part of it as pastrami. Can you fill me in on the details? Brine? How long in the brine? How do I smoke each half? These look so good that I just have to try it.

    Frozen Pulled Pork

    I think it is more from the flavors melding together. This definitely happens when marinades, dips, soups, just about anything that is allowed time in the refrigerator. As it cools, then freezes, I would imagine the same thing happens.
