Fired up the Brinkman at 5:00 am... meat went on at 6:00... smoked a rack of spare ribs, whole chicken and a brisket... i must say it was delicious!! had a hard time maintaining the heat... finally got in a grove at about noon.. chicken was pretty dang good, but a hair on the dry side.. bones came right out on the ribs except for in the middle where meat was still tight.. pulled the brisket at 5:30... absolutely amazing! just fell apart and the knife cut through like BUTTAH!!!
~apple and mesquite wood.. sealed the deal with some oak for the last 4 hours...
~wrapped in foil halfway through
~homemade dry rub the night before
~homemade BBQ sauce
all in all... i'd say some beginners luck! overall im extremely satisfied and so is the rest of the family.. :-)
shout out to SMF and S-M.com. Also thanks to some local friends who gave me a couple page worth of notes to "get me started"
Happy Smokin'
