15 # Brisket with burnt ends

[scarps23]

Injected with beef broth. Put Morton seasoning on it which is basic mix of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. SPOG and a couple other things in it. Keeping very simple.

Curious how the smoke ring will look. Took out of fridge and had longer wait to put on smoker than planned.

Planning on low and slow at 225. Currently at 238 on weber smoker. Vents closed down and temps slowly going down. Started at 10 pm.

I've saved some of the fat trimmings to render down and cook burnt ends in. This will be a new experimental run on that tomorrow morning. Might fire up weber kettle to render fat down and then cook them over higher heat. Any suggestions welcome.

Trying a Mac and cheese recipe tomorrow for my wife on the smoker to go with brisket. She's getting burned out on smoked meats. Going to make some brisket tacos to mix it up for the picky other half. Haha.

Beer is cold and nice cool fall weather here in Iowa. Absolute favorite time of year!!!!

Almost done. Flat is sitting in cooler. Point into burnt ends on smoker with Mac and cheese.

Forgot to say earlier. Cooking with hickory and usda choice brisket.

Burnt ends have rendered bacon grease and fat from brisket. Along with kings Hawaiian original BBQ sauce. First time trying this. Recipe that gave me ideas for brisket tacos called for making your own mango BBQ. This has pineapple and is much easier.

Mac and cheese recipe found on other site.

1 box Large elbow noodles.
2 cans cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded mild cheddar
8 strips of bacon

Cook noodles and drain. Mix milk, 2 cans of cheddar cheese. Melt. Then put into container for smoker. Add bacon and shredded cheese. Pretty simple. 1st time trying this.

Showing a little smoke ring. Not much.

Little man is tired out from all this BBQ! The wait is killing us both.

Toppings for tacos.

I think the highlight was the Brie with the brisket. Melted with brisket on top. I love cilantro on everything too. I got in a hurry and didn't heat up tortilla for first taco. Fixed that on second one I ate. Wife approved. She now has a whole pan of Mac and cheese to eat.

Good overall brisket. Wasn't my best, but was just fine. Temps in smoker dropped overnight when I checked. It also rained which I didn't think would happen. Happy to be sitting in a chair resting my full belly.

Definitely get some Brie to go along with brisket. I highly recommend it. Mac and cheese was really easy and good too.
