Pork Shoulder AND Brisket; gotta post somewhere...

Wow, the butt was a winner. My wife is usually pretty picky; this time she went back for seconds.

The brisket is done now, but I am still trying to figure out how to cut it properly.

Looks wonder full.

For the cutting of the brisket cut against the grain. If you did not make note of the direction before smoking then what I would do is cut a slice off of the side and try to figure out which way the grain runs

Now that little sweetie seems to be enjoying her Daddys Q!

Great job AT! Nice looking baby girl too!

That is one nice looking brisket. I love that bark. It ALL looks very good. I bet it tasted as good as it looks. I cut my briskets right in half. It makes finding that line that separates the point from the flat very easy.

Can hardly wait to see the brisket when you cut/or pull into that!

Thanks for all the high praise. The butt was truly great, but I am sad the report the brisket was less than stellar. It was not done long enough; not nearly tender enough. The flovor was good, but confusing; the weber kicken chicken was a poor choice. It's edible, just not great. I'll be the only one eating it I suppose. Can't win em all...

I'll try another one in a month or so.


Someone asked about the beer. It's nothing special; JW dundee's American Pale Ale from a "craft pack" beer sampler 12 pack. I get it cheap here and buy it occasionally. I thought it would look good in the Q-view shot.
