Budweiser meets Jim Beam on a Texas Icon...




I will start at the finish and then update later.






Brisket Sammie's


5.8 lb Brisket from Kroger...


The night before I planned to smoke this Brisket...


I applied a coat of yellow mustard...


Next, apply a liberal amount of your favorite rub.


Sweet!!

Sammie looks off the chain!

Jaccard??

[SouthernSmoked]

Hey Pat, I don't think that is my Jaccard 45 Knife SS but a cheap one that my wife picked up at Kroger's a few months ago.

[DTAggie]

Mighty fine indeed

[SouthernSmoked]

I placed the Brisket on the third rest from the top.

I couldn't place on the bottom rest since I use that for the Heat Diverter


I used a Budweiser Lager...


for making a mop sauce!

Basic Beer Mop:

12 oz beer (Don't use Lite beer, will make it bitter)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of your favorite rub

In a saucepan mix together the mopping ingredients and warm over low heat!


I like a lot of smoke so I used about 5-6 hours...


After 3 hours in I begun to mop the Brisket with the Budweiser sauce about every hour or so...

[SouthernSmoked]

After about 10 hours in...


I will cook this until the IT reaches 203f.




After the IT hit 203f I then FTC for 3 hours... couldn't wait any longer...

Gurrrrrr that was my belly, I was hungry!


Time to trim the fat...


Next I flipped it over and the beauty was ready for trimming.




The test...


Now that works - A+



Dang I almost forgot the Bourbon...

Bourbon BBQ Sauce:

Ingredients

   * 1/2 onion, minced
   * 4 cloves garlic, minced
   * 3/4 cup bourbon whiskey
   * 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
   * 1/2 tablespoon salt
   * 2 cups ketchup
   * 1/4 cup tomato paste
   * 1/3 cup cider vinegar
   * 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
   * 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
   * 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
   * 1/3 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste


Not bad!!

I'm interested in that heat deflector.  Is that somethng you made yourself or something purchased?

[SouthernSmoked]

I had these custom made to fit my Bradley.

classicrockgriller also has one that I sent him.

If you are interested I may still have a couple left, send me a PM and I'll send you the info.

[Quarlow]

Oooohh God ......that looks so good. Nice work.

[Ka Honu]

Looks excellent and it's always good to see a cook which didn't deplete the supply of real (drinkable) beer or whisky.

[OU812]

Mighty fine lookin brisket, mighty fine.

[Pachanga]

Nice.

And that heat deflector is a unique idea.  I like the concept and execution.
