2 butts and a brisket

[hernando]

I got ambitious and wanted to smoke some butts and a brisket. After making a successful fatty. it was time.

So for Mother's day I got an early start and got to cooking two boneless butt's, (all they had, I prefer bone-in) and a brisket. the Rub for the Butt's I got from a spice store here in Denver the season salt is called Wash Park Sesaon salt. On the Brisket I used the Mt. Evans rub also from the same store. I rubbed these up the night before and wrapped em up. For my wet spray, I sued Pepsi, a bit of cherry juice and a touch of balsamic vinegar. For some reason I neglected the pictures on the brisket. I also made Cabbage and Ramen noodle Salad which is better then it sounds. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...threadid=93847

Next morning, my early start and it was a beautiful dy to smoke.


Here are my two butts ready to go in. I had to do them fat up to keep it somewhat together since they were bone out and a mess. I had no cooking twine.


After reaching a temp of 170. I pulled them to wrap them in foil.


While those and the Brisket got to temp. I got the cooler ready. I find it funny that I have a picture of a blanket lined cooler but not any shots of brisket.


After resting for a minimum of 1 hour. They were more than ready to be pulled.




and.. finally a shot of the brisket. and all the PP. Man, was this the best PP and brisket I made yet. All thanks to your help and advice here.



I finished up the pulled pork with SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce. (thanks buddy)

Thanks for looking.

how do you make the ramen and cabbage salad?

 

[hernando]

Thanks all. I have to say this is one of the first smokes I actually had a goodtime, it was stress free and I really enjoyed it. My past Pre- forum smokes were dreadful. I appreciate the compliments, critiques and advice.

Sunday was perfect and the patio area somewhat protects the smoker from the wind. Snow is here now though.

Well thank you sir.

If you click on that link posted, the recipe and all is there. I used the Kitchenaid mixer with the grater attachment to shred my cabbage up, chop the grn onions, throw in the sesame seeds and almonds after roasting also the crushed Ramen's . mix the wets with the seasoning & packets in a blender and pour, blend and there you go. I'll post it in here too just for quick reference.

here is the cabbagge salad:

I made this on Mothers day with PP and Brisket. It is easy, colorful and has great flavor. If you never tried it, I suggest you do.

• 1/2 head green cabbage
• 1/2 head red cabbage
• 1 bunch of green onions
• 2 packs Chicken Ramen noodles
• 1/2 c. Slivered almonds
• 1/4 c. Sesame seeds
• 1/2 c. oil
• 1 Tbsp. Sugar
• 1 tsp Seasoning salt
• 3 Tbsp. vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Shred cabbage. Break up Ramen noodles into the shredded cabbage (I usually give em a good pounding in the bag) . Mince or thinly slice green onions (greens and all) throw em in.
2. Toast almonds and sesame seeds in oven or pan until lightly browned. Add in to cabbage mix.
3. Combine oil, sugar, seasoning salt, vinegar, salt and pepper with seasoning packets from Ramen noodles into a blender and blend on full speed for about 30 seconds or so.

You can serve immediately or chill. It is good either way. I like mine immediately as the crunch from the noodles and almonds give it a great texture.
