BRISKET, RIBS AND BEANS

I started with a 13.5 lb Full packer Brisket (This Brisket needed very little trimming)

Also picked up 3 racks of Baby Backs and some Pork & Beans

Sunday 7-2-07

5:00 AM  Hit start button on Coffee, Fired up my smoker.

Used my Weed Burner to get some Royal Oak Charcoal going,  go over my grates and warm up my smoker. After the charcoal was going good I added a nice split of Pecan

Removed the Brisket from the Cryovac rinsed it off and trimmed it up. (Had to do very little trimming) Seasoned it up and waiting on smoker to come up to temp.

6:00 AM  -  Brisket on, went ahead and cleaned up and seasoned the Baby Backs and in the fridge. Ahhh  Coffee time !!

8:00 AM  -  Got the beans ready for the smoker (recipe included)

9:00 AM   - Beans on

12:00 PM - Beans off, ribs on, Brisket wrapped and back on.

3:00 PM  - Wrapped ribs and back on

5:00 PM  - Unwrapped Ribs back on for a bit

5:45 PM  - Ribs ready

6:30 PM -  Brisket still on  (Wish it would hurry up) But !! It’s not ready till it’s ready.

8:20 PM  - Finally !!!

Note: If you go back and read my post's on briskets this hit the nail on the head.

Looking at this brisket I was very happy, good marbling, not to much fat, I thought this is a good brisket. Normally the briskets around that size have been taking about 12 hours. This one took 14.5 so you just can't second guess on time. Don't panic it just ready when it's ready.

GARY'S BAKED BEANS

1 - Lg. can 55 oz. Pork and Beans plus 2 reg. cans

½ pound of bacon

1 Lg. onion

1 – 2 Jalapeño peppers

1 ½ - Cups brown sugar

1 ½ to 2 cups (Favorite BBQ sauce) Sweet Baby Ray’s is good

2 – Tb. Worcestershire sauce

1 – Tb. Black Pepper (coarse ground)   I like a little more

2 – tsp. garlic powder

1 – Tb. of Tony’s     Tony Chachere’s 

Good squirt or drizzle of Honey 

Salt to taste

I start by cutting bacon into small pieces and brown till just starting to get crisp. (Not too much)

Remove bacon, drain most of the grease sweat chopped onion and Jalapeno, till tender and onion is translucent.

I use Aluminum pans or an iron skillet. Open beans, dump into pan or skillet, add remaining ingredients mix well and taste, add more of any of the ingredients that you think it needs to suit your taste.

Put on your smoker for 3 to 4 hours   and using a mild , seasoned wood stirring every once in a while)

I usually sit them under my brisket or butt that has been on for a while.

Here are a few pics I took along the way

I guess it's boring to you Gary, but it looks fantastic to me!

I'm kinda like you, I tend to smoke the same stuff all the time.

But it's what we like & I'm sure the same is true for you too!

Point for making the carousel!

That all looks great. I should have read this earlier and I would have used your bean recipe. Got brisket resting and ribs about to go on. Looks like you have the timeline down to a science for everything.

Hey Thanks guys,  And I guess I just take it for granted on Briskets I have cooked a lot of them in 45 years. It's just routine. You probably notice I do all my stuff Old School .

I have a Maverick, used it twice in the box, in the closet somewhere. Don't get me wrong I like new gadgets but just learned by looks, touch and feel. 

Thanks again

Gary

I too want to be bored.

What temp were you waiting for to pull the brisket? 200?
I don't really shoot for temps on Brisket Looks , touch. and feel  Tooth Pick test  but if I'm checking temps about 200 to 207

I did check this one when I got it in the house it was 209.

Thanks. 200+ degrees it is then

I've done almost all the "major" smokes, but haven't yet done a brisket. Everyone seems to be posting about brisket the past week, so I guess its' time.

Excited to be doing my first brisket tonight but freaked out about having to start it at 2:30 am so it will be ready for our 4th of July dinner at 4. Never had a grill burning while I slept. Sketchy... Did you stay awake most of the time or just crash and wait for an alarm from tour thermometer?
