Weekend Smoke Out with QView

[reardenreturns]

In prep for another cook-off, so today I'm throwing on two briskets and three racks of pork ribs. I'll update as the cook goes on, but below are some "before" shots

I'm trying a new rub from Butcher BBQ and a new brisket injection

Wow your making a whole day of it! It shall be a good day! How many people you smoking for?

 

[reardenreturns]

Well, really just me at the wife, but I'm bringing some into work monday... they like my samples :)

 

[billdawg]

Great looking start. Can't wait to see the finished pics!

 

[vosser78]

Yeah who doesn't do over kill! I always bring my smoked meats to work with different things I tried and ask them which they like better. That way I can see ideas are better in the public eye.

Here's the end product. Not my best effort, but tasty nonetheless. Got impatient and pulled everything too early. Only at about 180. Bad idea.

Looks really good to me.  I certainly would not turn my nose up at that!!!  What Internal temperature do you take a brisket to?    And by the way what a goregous smoke ring on that brisket.

 

[africanmeat]

It looks amazing well done

 

[smokinhusker]

Looks good! How did you like the new rub and injection?

 

[realtorterry]

That's some nice color you got on there

 

[philh]

It looks good.. Was it tough at 180IT?

 

[venture]

Looks good from here!

Good luck and good smoking.

 

[frizzlefry]

That's one healthy smoke ring!

I wish you could mail me some of that goodness...

It wasn't as tender as I'd hoped.
