Brisket, ABTs, and a batch of Smoked Onion soup.

If you have not tried this soup yet, you should.  The flavor is unbelievable.  Be sure to use a nice rich beef stock that you know has good flavor.  The range of flavors in commercial stock is crazy and some of it tastes like water that a cow might have, just maybe, looked at once.

I sort of combined the two soup recipes, one found here
http://www.bradleysmoker.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=821
and the other from Smoke and Spice, which is very much the same,  just some added Thyme etc...  I also added the sugar more at the beginning to help the onions carmelize.

2 things I would do a bit different:

1) I didn't use much cream, but may not use any next time as the soup is so rich to begin with.  I guess it's more of a cold-weather dish (Sorry Olds!) but the flavor is so good I'm gonna make it again this weekend.

2) I threw the onions in along with some ABTs, so they got an hour of Pecan.  I think this weekend I will cut the onions in half and give them another puck or two of the pecan.

I'm not sure yet but those Saint Loey's are sounding good.  My wife will opt in for some Pablano's and some bakers.  With the Pablano's I will leave out the bacon(I can'y believe I said that) and focus on more shrimp with the cheese.  BUt I will wrap them in bacon so I can have some redemption.

Mike, which version do you make, the one on the forum, or the S&S?

That was my first time making it, so didn't want to change anything up too much.  Damn was it tasty! [:p]

I did what ever was posted on the forum.  

I have done it in mainly two ways, red or white wine.  The red is the best.  I experimenting with the size of cuts of the onion pieces.  I'm thinking of even putting a slice of Provalone on top.  Also I have incresed my beef stock to TWO box(containers).

I forgot to mention that I finished it in the classic French Onion soup style of some bread on top, covered in Gruyere cheese, then under the broiler for a couple minutes.  Think that may have added to the richness?  [;)] [:p]

For which meal?  The one where my brother user his gasser or when I do some refined smoking?  It's getting kinda warm here but the onion soup does sound awfully good.

Working myself!  Can't pass up the $1K per shift on holidays.  Most times, I even volunteer for a couple of extra hours!  Might do up some Turkey breast ahead of time...maybe a little potato salad too!

If I remember right, you're making a grand or so for each shift you work this weekend . . . guess that Guru/Raptor thing pretty much pays for itself in about half a shift, and you get to smoke while you work! [:D]

There should be tune to whistle on that!  Actually I did the wings yesterday when I got home, and my son bugged out on today and won't be back until Tuesday, so I will start the ribs on the way out the door tomorrow, and my son can change out the water for me after four hours.  Will just have to celebrate Memorial Day late!  

Excellent results on the Chicken Wings!  Here is recipe!

3.5 lbs wings
2 cups of Wishbone Italian Dressing
6 Tbsp. Pappy's Rub
1 tablespoon of Cayenne Sauce

Tumbled 30 min in Marivac

Sitting at room temp in marivac for about 40 min
And then sprinkled with Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom rub and sat
on drying racks additional 20 min.

Into the preheated BS on first three racks moving up from top and smoke with 2 hours of Pecan

Off after 2 hours then a little dip into Sweet Baby Ray's Original Sauce then to gas grill to finish up and get some grill marks.  

OUCH!  Nice and moist.  Just the right amount of venom to feel the bite while you take a bite.

Brace yourself!  I didn't use the Guru on the new SS BS.  Just set the slider to full on and let it alone for 2 hrs.  I picked up a new Stainless, never used SS Smoker for less &lt;$150.  It has a nick in the door - freight damage.  No biggie for me!  Will expand ability to do larger batches!  Going to have to contact Shotgun Fred and find out if I can control both off one Raptor and the Guru.   If they are close in cooking temp, it might work.  I can monitor both cabinet and meat temps on the Procom4, but the heat would only adjust on one cabinet.  Might work.

Happy Memorial Day.  

Bill

5 lb brisket flat(pecan wood for smoke) that I tumbled 40 minutes(20 didn't seem to do much)with 8 oz of pineapple juice some dales sauce woster a shot of rice wine vinegar and some yellow mustard.  Yesterday was fillets at my bros house that I tumbeled for 10 minutes with a can of coke some dales sauce a shot of woster and some minced garlic.  Very good stuff although 10 minutes on filets was almost a little much.  Great flavor though and by the time they were grilled they were nice and firm.

First Hell-O back to you from this side of the pond. [:D]


Cooked over direct Oak wood. After pulling from grill I placed in foil, added a couple patties of butter and a little garlic. Wrapped in towel for 6-7 minutes. Need I say more?
