Nice. I'm putting one on at 0900. 7 lbs so it should quick. 2 sides of pork's ribs and 2 Polish deer sausage. They will be put on at different times. Merry Christmas Ags
We don't enjoy until the evening. It's the law by grandmas standards.

Brisket on at 3:30a. Smoker slowly coming up to ~250 with a shiznit load of early smoke. Cold brisket on low temp and early smoke is best way to get a killer smoke ring on the drum.

First look at 3 hrs and color coming along nicely.

I've learned over the years to flip brisket and ribs on the drum to get good and consistent bark. Otherwise one side gets hammered with direct heat for way too long.

Did mine yesterday and plan to reheat today. Debating on the whole brisket reheat or slicing cold and then reheating in pan covered in tallow.

Any advice form you guys?

Firing up the pit early tomorrow morning. Beef ribs and pork butt first and then chicken wings and sausage later on.

First time doing beef ribs. Any tips from those who have done them before?

7hrs... flipped again. Fat getting a little squishy. Planning to wrap in 1hr if fat continues to render like this.

Would you guys stop this. We are going over to our neighbors to eat and it will be plain old oven cooked turkey. We aren't going till 2:00. I've looked at these pictures and I'm so dang hungry for smoked brisket I may eat my dogs smoked bacon treats!
Wow these pictures look good.

My bride slices it cold then reheats the slices only with the drippings and some bbq sauce.
That way if it all doesn't get eaten you can slice some more as needed without heating the entire brisket.
That's all I got.
Merry Christmas my friend. May it be blessed and happy.

9 hrs...underside bark needs to tighten up a bit so I'm gonna leave it unwrapped for now. It's at 188 so this dude may just get wrapped when I take it off for the hold. Dinner at 5:30p

Damn. I wish I knew as much about cooking as what you guys have forgot. I would be truly blessed. You guys make it look so easy.

11hrs..pulled it. 199 internal temp and it's resting in a cooler until 6pm slice/dinner time. Point was probe tender for last 30-45 mins but flat still had a little resistance. Finally decided to pull it to lessen chance of drying it out. Figured it would still loosen up pretty good during a 3.5 hr hold.

I was always afraid of brisket, and then I watched this:


It seriously changed my life. Now I smoke brisket several times a year and it turns out better than any restaurant I've been to.

That looks fantastic! You guys are putting me to shame today. I just did some St. Louis style pork ribs today.
That's what my kiddos wanted for dinner.
Merry Christmas OB!

It came out great. It's the simplest to smoke. Just grab your favorite cured ham, slather in mustard and brown sugar and smoke it.

We usually take half and keep it sliced for sandwiches, breakfast or other r items, then I'll take the glaze and slather over the rest of the ham once it is carved and chopped up. Serve with sides and life is good.

Just pulled off 2 ten lbs briskets . turned out great. Question for you guys. Turns out most of the family isn't going to be here (flu for some, grandson and family had to report in Va, Other went to Co for other family), so wife and I thought what the heck, lets just grill some ribeyes for son and family. So, If I wanted to vac seal these 2 and save them whole, what's your best idea how? Fridge till morning, just wait till room temp, what do you think?

Slice. Let cool overnight. Then vacpack and freezer. I do this every year for family. I pack in 1lb bags
