Mom turns 72 tomorrow, wants brisket and ribs, time to be a good son!

[crankybuzzard]

Lookin good Cranky, quick question though-

Why did you start the ribs with the brisket? Are the meats being eaten all together?


And how long did you cook the brisket?

Thanks!

That's a good question I was wondering if anyone would ask.

I cooked yesterday and have to serve today. I cooked yesterday since there was a 100% chance of rain today. We got rain, but at 0500 and now it looks to be over.

I vac-packed the ribs and will hot water bath them to reheat. The brisket finished a little after midnight, and is double wrapped and holding at 170 in my MES.

Ribs ready to chill

That all looks delicious..... You never know.... I do like Texas, it's one of our states we want to ride through on our bike trip hopefully next spring. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.......

Like the title says, mom will hit 72 tomorrow and I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. "Brisket, ribs, and your homemade BBQ sauce"!
 

Mom has Great Taste, with that Order!!!

Happy Birthday to her, and I'll return for the final Pics!

Gary, big storms way early this morning, looked like it was going to blow over, and now just a steady rain. Sure glad I cooked yesterday!

Brisket is sliced, chopped and panned up. Sauce is about ready to cool after an all night simmer.

Now to get ready to reheat the ribs and figure out how to keep it all hot for the 1- hour drive to mom's place.

Looks great Cranky...

 Now to get ready to reheat the ribs and figure out how to keep it all hot for the 1- hour drive to mom's place.

Faux Cambro....

Wrap the ribs in foil with a meat probe, run the probe outside of the icechest and plug it in to your unit so you can monitor the temp. Should hold temp well for 1 hour.

Faux Cambro....Thumbs Up

That's the plan. I have 3 gallons of hot water in the small Yeti now and will do like you said, but will also wrap the meat in a wool blanket that I use for resting briskets in the cooler. It'll be hot for sure upon arrival.

Like the title says, mom will hit 72 tomorrow and I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. "Brisket, ribs, and your homemade BBQ sauce"!

So, being a good son, I went shopping. Big packer and 4 racks of ribs will be smoked.

But before I fire up the smoker, I needed to fuel up!

Farm fresh eggs, homemade bacon, and a little Tillamook pepper jack cheese!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA MUM.

 

[kanealmond]

It's my moms 57th! Happy birthday to your mom too!

Mighty fine looking food there sir. She's well deserving of such a fine meal!

I have all kinds of questions. Where in the world did you get a brisket that size for $21.00? I can't see the weight but it looks to be around 16 pounds? Next, what sauce do you simmer over night? Do you have a recipe that you would be willing to share? What kind of smoker is that it does look well used and seasoned? What rub do you use, every thing looks well covered and yummy? I'm late I know but happy birthday to your mom anyway. I'll bet she was happy eating all that smoked goodness?

Randy,

Randy,

Damn Randy, you ask more questions than my ex-wife used to when I'd come home at 0300! LOL

13 pounder from Kroger. Had them on sale, choice too!

Dr Pepper sauce was simmering. It's good stuff!

The smoker is one I made that's a hybrid. I can use lump/wood in it or electricity with a PID. 24x24x72 inside and insulated.

The rub I use is what I call my comp rub. The recipe was given to me by my BBQ mentor back in 1988. I still have the paper plate he wrote it down on.

As for mom, she had a ball. Almost all of her grands and great grands were there.

 

[ab canuck]

That's awesome, Sounds like it was a good time, And the food looked great. Thx, for posting the sauce, I am checking it out.....

Super meal. If I were to start adoption procedures would you cook for me like this?
