@seawolf:

That's good looking brisket.  I'm jealous- my first try at smoking a brisket failed badly.

[seawolf]

So did mine!

My first time I shut the exhaust vents on the smoker because I figured that more smoke is better! Not so much. There was so much creosote on my brisket it made my tongue numb.

Gorgeous ring on it.

I have yet to try making brisket but I know it can be tough.

The fatty brisket at Kreuz market changed my opinion on beef barbecue.  Still a pork guy first and foremost, having come up in the mid-South, but wow…

While I was searching for that picture I came across some other Q pics of mine.  I have posted probably a couple of these before, whenever I did the deed, so apologies in advance.

Here's a sassy yard bird.  Now I still use the beer can rig, but I don't put a can in there.  The cavity, IMO, is better filled with smoke than a can:

Here is a thigh that was cooked among other thighs as opposed to a whole bird, you can see the smoke ring where I took off a little skin:

Carolina mustard style on one, Memphis tomato and vinegar style on the other, pulled pork (awful photo, sorry about that):

And finally dry rub spares with homemade baked beans and slaw, and grilled corn.  Really proud of the smoke ring on these:

I love brisket

As do I, D.  One of my buddies has been experimenting with his mother's Jewish brisket recipe, fusing that with a Southern BBQ smoke style.  Great stuff…

[derivative666]

Sounds unreal

It is–he always says "as a Jewish son, it's my duty to claim my mother's brisket is the best in the world, but let me tell you--it is."

Haha.  Funny dude.  I think he may be right too...

god damn seawolf…it's only 5.30am here and you already have me lusting for that super great piece of meat

[mclaincausey]

I'm gonna leave that one alone

[Finn666]

ha

[mclaincausey]

Well well well. A coworker gave me a bounty and I just got a big box of goodies from me CSA.

Time for salsa verde.  Probably with pork shoulder.

[derivative666]

Yum, please stop you are killing me

Jesus, I normally don't miss pasta but SHIT!

[seawolf]

Wait until you see the whole plate. I'll take pics later
