If you are set on Beef, it appears as if Brisket is the preferred cut. There are a bunch of available recipes and alot of expert brisket cookers on this site. Unfortunately I am not one of them.

You can do a couple whole brined chickens. They will cook in a shorter time, cost a little less and man are they yummy. Might be an easier first project.

Whatever you decide. Good Luck, enjoy, welcome to the club!

Thanks for the quick response. I'll research both suggestions. The thanks is appreciated. It's my honor to serve. However I'm one of the lucky ones. I just fly in, drop supplies etc and leave. The troops that are there day after day are the heroes.

Smoked the brisket. All 5lbs have been consumed. Used 4 hours of mesquite, and smoked/cooked for 8 hours overnight at about 190F. Got up in the morning internal temp was 150F so I pulled it out. I can only assume FTC is a TLA for foil-towel-cooler. With that in mind I wrapped it in foil with some apple juice, put a towel around it and stored it in the oven (no heat). The brisket sat in the oven for about 10 hours before I reheated it to consume.

This probably wasn't the best method but it was the only way to do it because of our schedule. The flavor of the meat was wonderful however it was a little dry. Next brisket I'll time it so we can eat it shortly after pulling it from the smoker. Tomorrow I'm going to smoke some salmon.

I remember the maiden flight of the C5. The chaser jet looked like a small bug compaired to it.

The C-5 amazes me everytime I step to it. I can't believe they give me the keys to a $170 million dollar jet.

I bet an elevator would be nice. I think the ladder is a way to comfirm you're physicaly able to fly.[:D]
