WHO WANTS TO COOK A BIG ASS BRISKET?

[djsmokesupreme]

My sister lives in the Pascagoula/Ocean Springs/Gulfport area, and needs a professional smokehouse or BBQ team to cook a 25 pound brisket for a Christmas event. She apparently committed the rookie mistake of buying a piece of meat too big to fit in her smoker.

If anyone knows someone they trust who wants to make a little Christmas cash, just give me contact info and I'll put her in touch with you.

Thanks!

Gonna be tough to get someone to smoke that for her on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Separate the flat from the point. Problem solved.

Yup, that would be one backup plan, but I frankly think she and her guy are just too newbie to tackle a brisket in the first place. The alternative is to braise it in the oven instead of smoking it, but who knows, maybe there's somebody out there who's willing to do it over the weekend for the right price.

I hope you find some one to help you Dj!

Though Scott is probably right on this one.

I think the best bet is a combination of both. Cut it in half and smoke it for a few hrs and then throw it in the oven and slow cook it. Hell put it in a slow cooker. That way they will have a smoke flavor and a slow cooker will cook it down fine.

Yeah going to be a tough sell for Christmas but I would definitely consider it if I lived closer. Good luck, hope it turns out!

I agree, divide and conquer!

Good question! Until I came here I didn't know Pigs had a Butt on both ends. :eek:
The front ones are called Boston's. I have to wonder if folks in Massachusetts are happy about that or not. :confused:

25 lbs brisket?! God heavens, how big was that animal?

 

[SmokinAl]

I'd gladly smoke it for you if you were a little closer to me!

Now wait a minute!
I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night.
Are you sure that isn't Photo Shopped?
How'd that Saint Louis cow get mixed up with all those Texas steers?

Some breeds of cattle are prone to double muscling.
These animals have enlarged muscles, giving them the appearance of being the weight lifters of the cattle world! Double muscling in cattle is the result of a natural mutation of the myostatin gene. Normally this gene stops muscle development, but the timing is off because of the mutation of the gene.

There are a number of breeds that are prone to carrying the gene for double muscling, with two of these being the Piedmontese and the Parthenais.
Both breeds have been in existence for a long time with the first official herdbook for the Piedmontese established in Italy in 1897, and for the Parthenais in France in 1893.
Both breeds are raised in Alberta.
One of the attractions of double-muscled cattle is the leanness of their carcasses.
Back fat is generally found to be less in double-muscled cattle than in cattle with normal muscling. Whether or not this affects the amount of marbling fat in the muscle is open to dispute.
Some studies have found reduced marbling in double-muscled cattle while others have found no effect of double muscling on carcass marbling.

If I eat said beef, do I automatically get that gene?

 

[chilerelleno]

Don't think it works that way. ;)

One of our Son In Laws thinks growth hormones in meat caused their Daughters to both be top heavy.
When you have to order custom made Bra's, it tends to make you wonder.

 

[chilerelleno]

There are no steroids or growth hormones in these cattle.
