Brisket, Butt, & Ribs on the OC tonight

Big Swole · Sep 17, 2016

Went to the grocery today.. Where my buddy works. Picked out two Choice Briskets for him to trim.

Weighed them before trimming and after

Small one was $46.51 came down to $36.85 after trimming.

And the big one went from $61.17 down to $49.84 after trimming.

SCORE!!!

Picked out a Butt that I had him cut in half, as well as some ribs. Trying to do all three on the Old Country Wrangler tonight. We'll see.

After the rub and prep.

Just wrapped the ribs after saucing them and let it set. Used a bit of apple juice / cider vinegar in the foil.

They've all been on for about 3.5 hours. Briskets at 144* at the thick flat / early point.

Used Hickory and Cherry mainly...Through some Mesquite chunks on early in the cook.

That's a small feast! How many you feeding?

Man, that's a great friend to have!
Fully trimmed, not having to pay for all that hard fat is awesome!

Looks good so far!

HA!! Me, Myself, and I!!

Nah, really... I'll give the Butt to my parents. I'll keep the ribs for tmrw. and Monday. I'll slice up the Brisket and give my parents a bit and then eat on the brisket for the next several days.

Going to visit the folks tmrw. Wanted to give them a gift.

My snack just now...

Big Swole · Sep 17, 2016

Ribs resting... Saving these for tmrw.
Got a little dark on the ends.
This smoker is just so short and I'm still learning it.
The snack I had was good though. The full rack stayed on a bit longer.

pjtexas1 · Sep 17, 2016

You could wrap the ends of the ribs.

Well crap...Not sure what went wrong, but the point got to the high 190's and was almost completely probe tender and the flat was still in the 160's and tough.

So I left it on and then wrapped it a bit ago..Flat is at 199 now and still a bit tight.

Should I wait it out or pull it and let it rest in a cooler or oven on 170 and hope it's tender in the morn?

Big Swole · Sep 18, 2016

Well I've pulled it and I wrapped it and I will just hope for the best.

Looking good there brother. I see you need a probe port in that cooker. :wink:

I have not sliced it yet. It is still covered and holding in a cooler. I hope it tendered up.

Big Swole · Sep 18, 2016

It's set in a cooler in some beef broth completely overnight and was still warm when I sliced it. It never completely tendered up like I wanted it to but the middle part of the brisket and flat turned out quite good. The point actually was a little overcooked since it was at such a high temperature for so long. It will still be edible and I will certainly still enjoy it. The taste of the bark was really good. Smoke flavor was pretty good as well.

By the way I cooked it fat side up like Franklin does.

The smoke ring is not real prevalent. I'm not sure why this one did not have as much of a ring.

All packaged up with some broth inside for reheating later and some giveaways.
