Gonna put a 7.30 lb. butt on the electric Brinkmann tonight about 11 or so, then tomorrow afternoon, I'll put on a couple a brined chickens on the GOSM. It will be for dinner on Saturday for 10-12 of us. Looking forward to it. Because of an incredibly busy late winter/early spring, I haven't smoked anything for probably six weeks.... WAY too long.
Well i just fired up the wsm for the first time about an hour ago.. Got 8 chicken quarters- 2 turkey legs-2 beef kabobs and 8 porkchops on it right now,This is just the test run... Tommorrow ( or late tonight) i am doing a brisket-2 butts-1 corned beef for pastrami and 3 racks of ribs!! Happy smokes every1...I can tell im gonna love this wsm 22
I'm gonna give it a go with my first attempt at multiple smoke. I will be smoking a 8 lb brisket and a 8 lb pork butt. I just ordered them from the meat market and will pick up after work. MMM can't wait.
thinking about trying some Asian-style spares...tooling around with some recipes and ideas, there are a lot of good posts on here that have inspired me.
change-up. still doing grilled oysters(probably topped with a mango Pico De Gallo).
But switched from skirt steak to London Broil(aka top round) So with that thicker cut I am going to fire up the WSM after all. I have the beef marinating in tequila and other items now. Should make some good tacos. Also figured since I was firing up the WSM, I needed something for the bottom rack, fixin to do some wings.
Brined, then rubbed a 9# pork butt with a Memphis rub. Will be mopping it all day with a mop sauce made from day old beer, olive oil, a T of the Memphis rub and vinegar.
Threw in 15 sweet mild italian sausages for good measure.
Stocked up an apple wood last night from a buddy that cut down an apple tree.
Did two butts and two racks of spare ribs and brought to New Orleans. Took them off the smoker, wrapped in towels and put in ice chest for the trip. Temp dropped to 120 by the time we got here. (9hrs). Everything was great, Jeff's Sauce had me "worshiped by all".......now off to JazzFest...
The brisket turned out really really good . I thought I ruined it but man I was wrong . I cooked it in the oven @ 350 degrees with my rub on it and wrapped in foil then finished it on a smoker at 400 degrees ( best guess ) .. It so tender it would not even slice . My floppy disc Camera went dead after sevearl pictures of the trees and damage Yes I know I catch crap for NOT taking Qview but to me it's just food and not worthy of posting pictures . I have a friend on yet another board that wears me out about taking pictures saying " NO PICTURES IT NEVER HAPPENED "
Here is a picture of an earlier smoke this year
I use a brinkman ( OLD ) electric smoker all THE time and it ain't much to look @ but it's mine and it turns out great Q ! .
The brisket ~ flat and point seperated
and foiled BRISKET just almost fell aprt
This is a picture of half of the trees we cut down .
My god I have been slackin. It's been badly windy hre for a long time so I haven't smoked for weeks!! The weather cahnnel says Saturday is good so I'm planiing on a couple tenderloins (w/q-view) Sunday back to high winds again.
8lb pork butt ill be doing tomorrow then just bringing back up to temp on sunday
some burgers, abts and dogs
mojito's and iced tea w/vodka
the sides are still up in the air the only one i know for sure will be some home made slaw for the pulled pork......if it was fathers day i would just make more burgers abt's and dogs and call them the sides
