    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    Literally salivating at the mouth reading this Au Jus recipe. Thanks JJ! The food will be self served sammies, about 90 adults (half men/half women) and 10 children. I'll be sure to post some pictures and let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks!

    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    TallBM,  I really appreciate all the info! I think maybe I was confusing pulled brisket for chopped. It's a small venue (100 people) and I'll have roasters to reheat so I think I will plan on either going with chuck roasts or doing the brisket chopped. They are having buns/sides catered from...

    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    HC, I may look into chicken instead of the brisket. I've done several briskets in my short smoking career but never for a large group so it is a little intimidating. I loosely suggested the idea of me doing some meat for their wedding to save them money and so here we are :) Thanks for the...

    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    So would I slice it cold and then throw it in the roaster with some juice to warm it up? I know pulling is not ideal but It seems like it'd be easier the day of cause Id just throw it in a roaster on low a couple hours before. I'll be doing some pulled pork for the wedding that way.

    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    I'll be smoking 4 or 5 briskets for a wedding in September. It's out of town so I'll need to smoke prior and freeze. My question is, would it be better to pull the brisket or slice it before I freeze? I've read through the forums and there's little mention of pulling brisket but I know I've seen...

    Freezer Burn??

    It didn't smell rotten so I ended up trimming all of the freezer burn off and using it. I got a little knife happy and trimmed pretty much the entire fat cap off. It actually turned out very good despite all the doubts I had. This is only the second brisket I have ever done and the last one i...

    Freezer Burn??

    Picked up a brisket Monday from Sam's Club, opened it up tonight to get it ready for the smoker only to find out it has freezer burn all along the side of it. Im assuming this is just freezer burn right? Everything I've read says its still safe to eat just cut off the discolored pieces, is that...

    15 lbs of Boston Butt on the MES!

    jrod, I was going to put them in a pan in the smoker but I thought that might reduce the amount of surface that is exposed to the smoke. Do you usually put them in fat side down or up? When I wrapped them in foil and threw in the oven the juices managed to seep out ( even know I thought I...

    15 lbs of Boston Butt on the MES!

    After sitting at 160 for about 6 hours I pulled them out, double wrapped in foil and put them in the oven at 250. It took another 4 hours from there to get up to 200. I know everyone said to wait it out, but I was running out of time. Is it really possible to get up to 200 without wrapping it at...
