First brisket of the season. Best I’ve done.

Looks great!  Congrats!

 

Haven't smoked in awhile so I went a little crazy and did a back to back with pork belly burnt ends on Saturday and pork butt on Sunday.  Let the burnt ends go a little too long uncovered and they got a little chewy but were still good.  Pork butt turned out great.  Need to be better about taking pics next time.

Fired up the smoker/grill for the first time since August.  I've been a little afraid of it since my recent cardiac issues. I'm learning how to cook without salt and I've limited my bourbon intake to a pour or two a week. Made a couple ribeyes with a garlic and pepper seasoning, jasmine rice, and corn. Our dinner guest wanted hers medium well. 😪 They were good..not quite the same...but good.  Had a MM101 barrel aged old fashioned sans bitters while they cooked. Have to keep living a little bit, right?

Continued my no-salt BBQ journey yesterday and smoked some pork tenderloin.  I used the McCormick Tabitha Brown blends. A little "Very Good Garlic" and "Sweet Like Smoky" and they were really tasty.  Might be sacrilege using them on meats since they are developed as/for vegetarian. :)

 

No pics.  Also...no bourbon.  It was a little weird BBQ'ing without any cocktail or pour.  I also had my "Sunday Night Ritual" in the hot tub but again sans bourbon.  I'm going cold turkey for a while at Dr.'s orders until they can get my situation a little better under control.

Fired up the smoker in the snow yesterday.

A small turkey breast with bourbon smoked tagarashi, a pork loin with peach jalapeño glaze, and some chicken legs with garlic and sweet and smokey no-salt rubs. 

Still no bourbon but on Thursday the doc told me I could have a pour or two a week if I'm being good otherwise.  Still waiting till end of Jan. I had successful ablation done Dec. 26th.

Smoked a small pork belly today. She's resting now and I have some Brussels sprouts in the smoker that I tossed in some olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic..

We have a BBQ company now set up at my American Legion Post. They’re open Thusdsy-Saturday. I had a pulled pork sandwich Friday. 😋 This week I plan on trying their brisket. 😎

I fired up the smoker for the first time since Feb. I've been doing most of my outdoor cooking on the new Blackstone but I missed the wood/smoke/charcoal.   So..I had a package of NY Strips thawing out.  When I finally got them opened up and trimmed, seasoned and ready to go they were almost too thin (.75-1") to do my usual reverse sear method but I tried anyway.  Came out with good flavor but they were more done than I prefer.  They were a solid medium +.  These were less than the the best marbled steaks, too.  We buy whole strips and have them sliced into steaks.  Last time I let Mrs. Clueby go and pick out the strips and have them sliced!! But kudos to her for going when I was too sick to go myself.  I usually stress over finding the best one but since you can only see a little bit of the end thru the cryovac its a bit of a gamble.  I usually have them cut about 1.5" thick as well.  I have a couple more packs from this particular strip so I'll probably shave them up for cheesesteaks.  They will be fine for that.

Made some burnt ends yesterday from the point that I froze from the last brisket. 

I broke out the Auto Kamado for this one,  because it's such a short cook.
