Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

A&M was well represented at our first visit to the Houston Rodeo!

 

Trimmed and rubbed the brisket, and rubbed and wrapped two butts. This may be a huge
Challenge, but I'm doing them all at the same time, or that's the plan anyway. Pics tomorrow. I'm in no hurry, hope to have them on by 8am with the intent of doing them to finish on the smoker, unwrapped. We'll see what happens. Going with cherry and hickory.

 

No smoker this weekend, weather is shitty and I spent 4 hours this morning digging up my back yard chasing a leak in one of the pool lines, but it looks like it's under the concrete deck and will require a professional. So threw some ribeyes, asparagus, and romaine on the Weber kettle.

 

Smoker slowly climbing up to temp, then the two little pigs and their Buddy are going on.

 

It fit with some messing around. Had to put the one butt down on the lower rack. It was kind of an epiphany for me. I can use the racks from the offset in the smoke chamber,

 

A little brisket porn before you all go to Sunday mass

 

Looks good. All burnt ends in the making?

 

Confession time
I am one of the few that don't like burnt ends

 

looks good for some brisket tacos or a sliced brisket sammich...

 

anyone heard of the smoker king? I just found his website and it looks like it has some good tips.

You got me all figured out.

 

Well then, I like your serving portions.

 

About 3.5 hours in. Smells good.

 

Cut to be vacuum sealed. Giving them to family and friends. I only keep a little for us so we don't get tired of brisket lol

 

I can never get tired of brisket...so if you want to send me some I'll gladly accept

 

I need to work on my brisket game.

 

I get that. I'm probably going to give one entire shoulder and half the flat away after freezing some for us.

 

Found a few of these growing in a flower bed next to my house yesterday. Was wondering if they were edible. Looks good.

 

if you cut them open they should be hollow basically like the shape of the outside. There are rare cases of Faux morels which look similar but are poisonous so be careful.
