Ribs...2 racks of St. Louis and 2 racks of baby back...
AND something new for me (on the smoker)...a peach cobbler.
Might do a fatty if I've got some time...
I've been questioned several times about what a fatty is...
They are usually not something I do for gatherings but for meals for myself...and folks are curious...

Well, I had a curve thrown late Friday...
Both my daughter said "brisket pleeeeease"

Well, when the lady's ask for brisket...
The lady's get brisket...
I'm glad the ribs were still mostly frozen in the fridge...popped those back in the freezer and went on a brisket hunt Saturday. Got this prime 12.5 pounder trimmed and ready for rubbing.
Going on about 10:00 pm tonight (sunday)

And here we are about 2 hours in...
Put it on my 18" bullet...boy it barely fit. I had to tuck the ends under a bit and "squish" it a bit...lol...should shrink up enough in a few more hours to get it laid out flat.

We'll be doing some wings up. It looks like good weather for a change.

Ended up having to double down on my brisket purchase due to a larger than anticipated guest list.

29lbs of prime

The drum off and running:

Ended up with 5 total pieces. 2 points and 3 flats. Cut one of the flats into two sections in the interest of keeping the flats similar in weight and therefore in cook times.

Started at 10pn Saturday. First flat came off at about 10:00am sunday, the other two flats came off at 11:30 and 12:30. The points came off at about 11:00.

One of the points cubed and ready for sauce and sauna treatment:

All sauced and ready to head back into the smoke for a couple of hours:

Finally out and ready for service. Sliced on the left, pulled in the middle, and burnt ends on the right:

Have a great Memorial day everyone!
 
I have 2 racks of St. Louis cut spares on the Smoke Hollow now. Rubbed with a store bought rub called Kick Ass rib rub, I’ve never used it before I usually make my own. Smoking with hickory and apple chips, naked, no wrapping for me. When the ribs are done, I’ll throw a tri tip on with some oak chips for smoke, take it to about 130* IT and a quick reverse sear. Then we will eat!

Heres our memorial day dinner...a little 12.5 lb prime brisket.
Trimmed up, cooked and sliced...
Rubbed with SPOG + some cayenne.
Smoked at 240° on my 18 inch bullet (was a spueeze... lol...) with hickory chunk...
Pulled when probe tender...(something over 195°F)...
Sorry I didnt get a pic of it rubbed, it was late night and it slipped my.mind...and when I sliced up and had it laid out on my cutting board turned my back and around and it had already been half devoured...
Turned out very well...tender and juicy...
Thanks for looking.
Walt.

I cut up a tenderloin and did some reverse sear filet mignons last night that came out pretty darn good.
Today, I'm trying Jeff's 5-hour pork butt. It seems to be finishing up at about the 7 hour mark...but that's still pretty good.
