Title: Smoking week started with mystery cut
Post by: grnhs on September 10, 2011, 01:27:42 PM
Bought this at Sam's a few weeks ago and assumed it was a packer(was in the brisket section)
Got several things out to thaw in the fridge the other day and noticed that it said"Beef round bottom-round cov."
Top package.

trimmed up and fat saved for deer sausage

definitly not a packer--
change of plans

two hunks of round and half a brisket from my rancher friend(gave it to me and told me to smoke it up and call him for dinner ;D)

Thanks Sonny, hard to tell from that what I really have.
Just not sure what IT to finish at.
I'm preheating to 235  then down to 210 for the night smoke, I'm rolling 4 hours of hickory. may smoke a little more in the AM  after dumping the pucks and checking things out. planning on uping temp to 225 when I'm awake and finishing at an IT of 160 one one of them and 180 on the other. the briskit will go between 180-190.
That is all subject to change, depending on my mood :)

Better keep an eye on it. It may cook faster than you think. (not the brisket)

all ready for the smoker, one of the hunks I rinsed the maranade off of and slathered with jans rub and cym. the other is just maranade and the brisket is maranade and 1/2 briskit rub. I'm not, but give me a half hour. ;D

in the smoker at 210 for the unsupervised sleep smoke(trying to pick a pellet smoker,but that's another post)
Those mystery chunks were sure tough to put the probe in, this may be a longer cook than you or I thought Sonny.
Hope the fan works as anticipated for convection.

in hindsight I have to say you are right, its a little dry, but tender, thought about boating it but I like the bark.
