Title: dueling brisket
Post by: pensrock on January 18, 2010, 05:25:33 AM
I picked up two briskets on sale for $2.49/lb over the weekend.
I preheated the smoker to 250 F. Vent wide open.
Trimmed and rubbed the briskets.
Rub is simple: Black & white flavor crystals plus garlic and onion powder.
After I put the meat into the smoker, I lowered my temp to 215 F.
Going to get three hours of smoke. More to come later, this is going to take a while.  :)

Ok, it got done about 8PM last night, I let it cool to 140 IT in a warm oven. Then seperated the point from the flat and cleaned up the remaining fat.
This morning I sliced the flats and packaged up. One package going to my dad and 3 vac packed and into the freezer for me later.  ;D
I put the sliced flat for my sister into a big zip bag and the point in another bag for her. I also gave her some of the remaining juice to use for reheating.
I kept the rest of the juice for me and dad.
Right now I have my point in a pot with some juice reheating, I'm going to pull/chop this for sandwiches. Mmmmm.
I did get one pic of my finished flat, all sliced and ready for packaging.

them thar appear to be masonry style heaters.
those are bricks laid into the bottom of the smoker to help
heat recovery after opening the door on the smoker.??

Pens,
those look incredible! great job!
i gotta do another one soon, it has been a while.
Title: Re: dueling brisket
Post by: pensrock on January 24, 2010, 10:42:11 AM
Yep those are pieces of fire brick that we use at work. They are in there to hold heat after the preheating. When I load the smoker with food it recovers faster because the bricks hold the heat.

Thanks UIS, they were/are very tasty.  :)
