What are you cookin on the smoker?

[cigarnv]

Given that we are in BBQ season I thought it would be fun to see what everyone has coming off their smokers..... pictures always are appreciated....

This past weekend a few buddies and I cooked at an event called DizzyFest in Virgina ... an EggFest put on by Dizzy Pig BBQ. It was a great time with 300+ folks in attendance. We made several things but the hit of the day was a 25 pound beef shoulder smoked up on the BGE at 225F for 24 hours. I injected it, rubbed it up with Dizzy Pig Cow lick and foiled at 152F and pulled it at 195F. After we rested it for about 5 hours in a Cambro we pulled the beef directly off the cooked shoulder, dipped it in the pan juices and put it on a bun with some horseradish sauce..... good eating!!!

So what's cooking on your smoker?

After gettin a BBQ education at the Sampler Took the plunge and bought a Weber Smokey Mtn smoker.

Inaugural cook last weekend with 16 lb pork shoulder. Smoked for 18 hours and then wrapped in foil for 3 hours before pulling.

Unbelievably great and moist BBQ.

Only problem was amount of bourbon consumed in process. Made for a ROUGH!!! Monday morning

I posted about this salmon on SB the other day. This is the most recent meal off my smoker. Just tails and bellies seasoned with Dizzy Pig Tsunami Spin and Raging River, maple syrup and demerera sugar.

I am going to continue my trek with brisket.... grabbed a CAB and a good looking "choice" graded one... curious to see the differences once cooked. CAB will hit the grate tomorrow....

Be interested to see how they compare Reid.
What's been your take on Angus beef in general? Substance or marketing?

To this point I would say marketing as if you pick your choice properly, the stuff which leans towards prime rather than select, it is pretty damn good for a decent price. We will see as the CAB is on now and I have a few tasters coming by this evening....

Last weekend I did 6 racks of St Louis ribs (Johnny Trigg style) and a 17 lb brisket. I should have gotten a smaller brisket since I had to finish the brisket in the oven to meet my serving time...

I snapped pics of the prepped brisket and one when I put it on the smoker but then the rigors (read bourbon and cigar) of an all night cook took its toll and I didn't take any more pics.

Everything turned out great except for a temperature spike about 3/4 through the cook that resulted in the ribs on the bottom rack to get a little dark around the edges. But still darned tasty.

Welcome to another obsession Bill . Just got done assembling a new 22 inch WSM to go along with my well worn 18.5. And contrary to my reputation it's beer only during the smoke and bourbon after...you know, patience has its virtues .
