It turned out pretty good. My buddy shot and butchered the deer and if there's a next time around, I think we'll try to get the meat to a more uniform thickness, maybe like a brisket flat. Smoked it for a little over three hours at 250 and then steamed it on a rack over a roasting pan filled with water in a 275 oven. Sliced thin, it made a nice, if salty, sandwich. Think I'll chop it and make hash with the left overs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Cooked another brisket this weekend. As I said in a previous post, I have my process down but am now experimenting with rubs. I used the Fire and Smoke Society Black and Tan Rub (6.95 at Walmart) for this one. It is basically salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. However, the salt is an Hawaiian black salt so the brisket is black when you put it in the smoker. We liked it a lot so I will probably use it again. I have been a bit surprised at the increase in beef prices. I buy 9 lb brisket flats and the price went from $36 at the first of August to $54 at mid-August to $71 at the end of August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at smoking a chuck roast instead for "poor man's brisket". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a Costco card but want to check them out, give me a shout. I smoked a chuck roast a month or so ago. It was very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Yep, we are costco members. I will have to give a chuck roast a try. Thanks for the tip. I typically don't look at whole brisket and go for the flats at 8-10 lbs and I get Choice not prime. You are closer to the feed yards which may account for you lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just a note to tell everyone to keep an eye on pork prices. They discovered African Swine Fever in the Dominican Republic a few weeks ago and now in Haiti. Haitian refugees are being caught trying to bring pork products into the US. If ASF gets into the US swine herd, it will be devastating to the industry, and pork prices will skyrocket. (China lost half its swine herd to ASF over the last two years About 200 M head). If it is detected here, I will post so anyone can stock up on Pork that desires to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep if ASF becomes a widespread disease it will drive pork prices. THE only thing worse would be an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD).

Clueby Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) It's still a little early for Octoberfest, so starting the day with some Flatboat (Barton) & coffee while rolling smoke on a 4 lb. chuck roast, acorn squash, and some sweet potatoes. Ok...some I'm a little bored sitting out here. Edited October 17, 2021 by Clueby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Not on the smoker but made smoked pork shoulder yesterday in the Instant Pot lol. Any good recommendations for a smaller/starter smoker? I have very little deck space but would love to start doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a starter pellet grill that you can smoke on, I've heard good things about the Expert Grill at Walmart. They are getting blown out for as low as $100. I'm looking at getting one of the Masterbuilt 560 gravity charcoal smokers but for now I'm using my bigger offset smoker. I love the smoke it gives but it's a LOT of work.

Get a SNS, or use a charcoal basket (included with some newer kettles), or just bank the charcoal off to one side and add your favorite wood chunks to create direct and indirect heat zones on the kettle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
