Playing with fire today

[Dan]

I got up a little early this morning to get the fire started.

Diana picked up a 12 pound brisket that we covered in dry rub last night. Here it is as I'm getting the smoker ready.

Looks like the temp is just right...

Here's the smoker when I put them meat on a couple hours ago

Here's what it looks like in the daylight

...and I can't forget the meat after being on for a couple hours.

I get to play with fire, watch football and drink beer. It's going to be a good day.

Vonderbach if your serious you need to get out of FL and take a vac to one of the BBQ states. Ga,Tn,Tx, the carolinas .
Take it from someone who grew up in Tn they don't know BBQ here in Fl.

Brisket is a slow smoked tender chunk of whatever.
Anywhere from 6 to 24 hrs I have seen folks smoke things at a very low temp around 250.
It can be pork,beef or anything. The brisket is a type of cut on a special area of the animal.
North of the Mason Dixon line it would be a pot roast .
South it's BBQd and bolder and spicier depending on the initial rub.

God what I wouldn't give for a Corky's BBQ pulled pork sammich wit slaw on it riht now !!

Good bbq beef brisket is like the first time you...well...I'll stop there.

The trick is finding good brisket. I've traveled the country searching for a brisket that could rival Penguin Ed's in Fayetteville, Arkansas. No luck yet, though there was one place in Texas that was pretty close.

Brisket is much more tender than a strip steak, with a more fibrous texture. The level of tenderness is closer to a filet than a strip steak.

Now I really feel silly. Of course, Florida is North of the Mason Dixon, not literally of course. I know it as pot roast, but I have never had pot roast that was worth a darn.

I'll make it a point to find some good brisket. I'll try anything once....and twice if it's as good as you guys claim.

If I get my new trailer , maybe I'll have enough room to bring a smoker to the Fall Bash and do a couple briskets there.

I was in London for a couple weeks. I got back the Sunday before Christmas and will probably be going back again soon.

I generally plan on an hour a pound and try to keep the temp at a steady 225F.

We spice our rub up a bit, it's got cayanne, paprika and black pepper mixed in it for a little warmth.

You've got about another 9 hours to get here before I'm ready to bring it off the smoker and let it rest.

I think we need to do a ride to KC for some BBQ when the weather gets better.
