Title: Let the Super Bowl Smoke Begin
Post by: DTAggie on February 04, 2011, 08:18:31 PM
Smoked my butt last weekend and vac sealed.  Have it thawing now.  12.5 lb brisket rubbed with with Gun Powder and wrapped this morning.  Put it in the OBS at 6:45 this evening.  See pics below for weather conditions here in Dallas and just how great the OBS is kicking it!

Woke up to this.  6 inches of snow over the three inches of ice we already had.

More ice fun

I preheated the OBS to 200* and threw that hunk of meat in.  It was up to to 225* in 45 minutes.  I have the OBS on the front porch, away from the wind and any more snow.

looks nice DT, but you can keep the snow :D Do you have the second element in your OBS? I'm envious of your temps.

Warming to 34 today Gus, roads are metling.  Com on down.

SoCal, I do not have the second element.  I was surprised it reached the temp it did as quick as it did.  I think having it on the front porch out of the wind helped.  When I pulled it out after the 6 hrs of hickory, the cabinet temp was 243* and outside temp was 20*.

Finished in the oven over night.  Took about 16 hrs to hit 190*

Your menu is ambitious and that brisket is beautiful.  It doesn't look as if the tough weather bothers you at all.  I am spoiled here in Ca., temp now at 65* and expecting in the mid 70's tomorrow

Sliced it up after 3 hrs of FTC.  Sorry no pics of that.  Wife and daughter rushing me out the door to go to lunch. 

I will say the gun powder rub is a hit. Had to beat them back from eating as I sliced.  Told them they can have all they want tomorrow.
