Do you feel the need to feed armies every weekend?
Do you feel the need to feed armies every weekend?
Yeah this post is pretty much worthless without photos for us to be jealous and to drool over.Yesterday I smoked an 8 lb. butt for my oldest daughter's baby shower next weekend. Vacuum sealed and will freeze then thaw Saturday morning. While I was at it I threw a couple racks of BB's on for dinner for me and my girls...
I really need to start taking pictures, just typing words does NOTHING for effect ......
Looks great! Well done, sir.![]()
· 8lb brisket
· Took it out and put a rub on it about 10 hours before smoking it, wrapped it in plastic wrap. Then, right before I put it on the smoker, did another layer of rub.
· I used Oak Charcoal briquettes to start the fire, and had Kingsford all around the hot coals for the continued heat.
· I used 4 hockey puck/ baseball sized chunks of Hickory for the wood smoke.
· Let it cook for just over 8 hours at 240-250
· Then rest in cooler for 2 hours.
Damn look at that bark. Yummy.![]()

Man, it was good! The trick to the pretty bark color for me was adding some brown sugar to the rubDamn look at that bark. Yummy.
I've done the brown sugar on ribs, but haven't tried it on brisket. Will try that next time.Man, it was good! The trick to the pretty bark color for me was adding some brown sugar to the rub![]()
