Christening Our New CCSV24, Brisket & Butt Qview

[chilerelleno]

Time to finally christen our new smoker, a Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24".
I've a 5.4# brisket flat and a 8.5# Boston Butt in the fridge, all rubbed down and ready for an early start in the AM.

And here we go...

Plan on smoking these low and slow at 225'

Looking forward to trying the regular and Sriracha pickled onions on Pulled Pork sammiches... OH Yeah!
And put some into some fresh slaw too.

Looks like a great start!

Couldn't find my pan for the Brisket so it's naked on the grill, oh well.
I'll get the juices when I Crutch it.

And made a batch of my Whup@$$ Coleslaw.

I normally forego carrot in my slaws, but the family wanted it.

I'll be adding some of my pickled onions to some of this later.

Brisket hit 165' after six (6) hours.
Time to Crutch it with foil, I figure I'll check in another two hours to see if it passes the probe test for smooth as butter.

Looks tasty!

 

[chilerelleno]

5.4# Brisket Flat, done in 10hrs.
Unwrapped from the crutch and was very pleased, its now resting where the dogs have no chance of getting to it.
Couldn't resist cutting a burnt end off, nicely tender and juicy... Mmmmm!

The Butt was stalled at 170'ish so I decided to Crutch it too after setting the Brisket off to the side. Kicked the smoker's temp up to 275' and will give it another hour before checking it.

Beautiful cook. Well done. Points for sure

 

[chilerelleno]

Even Crutched the Butt took it's sweet time reaching 195' and getting butter tender.
By the time it was ready to come off the smoker the family had devoured the entire brisket.
So we'll be digging into the Pulled Pork starting at lunch tomorrow.

I dig the color contrast between before and after crutching it.

Great job!  "Points" for the brisket and the butt!  Great Qview.

Mike

 

[crankybuzzard]

Very nice indeed!  That brisket looks amazing!

 

[chilerelleno]

Didn't like the bark on the Butt after crutching it.
I have to have bark meat sammiches when it comes to Pulled Pork, so I popped it into a 500' oven for a few minutes.
Booyah! Looks like it never saw foil.
