BRISKET ADVENTURES PART ONE

[CLAREGO]

hey all havent posted awhile
heres the brisket adventure that i have planned could use some feed back from all.
first look for a small brisket perfer 8 pounds
get a bottle of whisbone itailian dressing from local grocery store and a bottle of old whiskey river from the state store. brine/season the bad boy in the itailan dressing overnight at least.
preheat the bs to 250
take the brisket out roll in mustard spice it up with some rub
put some fatty bacon on top rack
keep the bs between 215-230 WHILE DRINKING THE OLD WHISKEY RIVER
[:D]
feed back will be apperciated thanks

I'm by no means the expert that some folks here are, but that sounds like a very solid plan.  However, for a slightly different flavoring, I might also suggest Tangle Ridge as an ingrediant for smoking the smoker (a nod to the Canadian origins of out beloved BS)[:D]

Of course, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with Willies' Whiskey either[:)]

Pull it at 185 internal, do the FTC shuffle and you'd be doin fine.  Also before you seal the foil, put about a 1/8 cup of Apple Juice and let it have a active association with the brisket for the next two hours....

If a man says he knows anything at all, he knows nothing what he aught to know.  But...

I've never done the Italian dressing but it all sounds good[:D].  Like MW said don't forget the FTC.  A must for brisket.

JJC-

It's a small batch bourbon.  It's good.  Willie Nelson loves it so how could it be bad?

Kirk-

You made me laugh out loud.  I always enjoy this forum.  As we speak I am making the chicken with bacon.  I started with 8 pieces but my enthuaistic black lab, Emma, took and ate 2 raw ones off the counter.  I guess she'll be ok although 1 of them was filled with jalepenos.  Gotta love the dog.[^][^][^]  Anyone ever bbq black lab?

Bassman,

 I am going to try your brisket recipe but where do you but the Worcestershire Powder ?

Thanks, Brad

There are several on-line sites that sell spices such as this.  I believe most of these retailers are listed over at the site Olds keeps up for us.  the link is at the top of every set of boards.
