Brisket -2 months aged

Oldman · September 12, 2005, 11:08:23 PM

Well I figured that after 2 months aging I better get off my duff and smoke these briskets. [:D]

In this pix you can see I have saved the fat so it can drip down on the meat.

These are the points/ flats that are going to become cornbeef.

This time I put more pepper on for me. The heck with the girls I mix and ground Muntok white and Malabar black pepper...

Come on tomarrow~~!

These are at the 4-5 hour mark. I will boat them in foil with a little apple juice. The fat I will give some to my dogs [:D]

If all holds true they will come out around 7am then then into a passive oven for 2 more hours... these are going to make for some fine early Brunch eating.. :D

12 1/2 hours later cooking temp. varied as I turn the box down to 180 while I slept for 5 hours. Otherwise the box temp. was 205F. Note the jucies in the foil. They are now in bed FTC~~![:D]

EDIT: There was a 2 1/2 degree F. difference between the two pieces. The fan ran without a hitch.

Talking about the fan I talked with Chez about it last night and he is moving forward. The issue of a fan guard has to be resolved yet. On mine I did not install one, but then again I'm not selling them. I'm old enough to know you don't stick your finger into a 10 wing metal fan blade turning 3000 rpm. [:0] But we all know about those curious kids~~!

I think if I left now, I could be in St. Petersburg in a little over 30 hours. Save me a slice please. [:)]

I used Oak 4 hours this time. Very nice even the first day. Oak IMO is a good around smoke. It seems to sweeten when the meat is in refrig for a few days.

Without a doubt it is a great wood for that double smoked ham I do.

Made sandwiches out of one of them tonight... [:p]

While you are enjoying your wonderful brisket, think Johnny Cash! Oh yes, I did send you an email about that! Hint, Hint, Wink, Wink....say no more!

I have to put two things on my To-Do list; 1) prepare aged beef for smoking; 2) purchase oak bisquettes (unless Bradley comes to their sense [:)] and begins making peach bisquettes).

Those briskets look real good!

Brabus · September 14, 2005, 04:26:09 PM

So Old, what what the total time on these puppies?

Oldman · September 14, 2005, 11:04:55 PM

Total time was 14.5 hours.

Bill I did not get an E-mail [?][?][?]
