Hey yall sorry it's been a while since I've posted ive been real busy. This week I plan on trying my first brisket cook. It's only 8 lbs I think. Also I will be throwing on a pork butt. Any tips on the brisket? I'm super nervouse since we will have a few friends over for dinner. Also what's a pretty simply recipe for a NC style sauce?
 
Keep us posted on your progress....

For brisket you might consider using a Texas Style Sauce...

But as requested her is a NC Vinegar sauce..
Piedmont Lexington-Style Dip

1-1/2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup tomato catsup
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of crushed hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup water
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Salt to taste, if desired

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Chill at least one day before serving..

Thanks , I will keep yall posted. I wanted the nc style sauce for the pork. But I guess your right I will need a sauce for the brisket to huh?
 
I can recommend that "Lexington Dip" for your pork, but your brisket should stand on its own (IMHO).

Start the cook earlier than you think... give the brisket a chance to rest in a warm cooler. Pay close attention to the grain of the meat so you can slice across for the most tender cuts.

Give us a hollar with pr0n (if you think of it)... Welcome back!

Thanks for the tip. How many hours would you start checking for probe tender? On the brisket. I'll be shooting for 250-275 cookin temp
 
Don't rush tht brisket at 8 lb I assume it is just a flat wrap when you like the color and it aint done until it robe like a hot knife cutting soft butter.

Here's my take on a piedmont NC sauce for pork:

1/2 to 1 small onion, finely chopped
6 cups of cider vinegar
4 cups ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked jalapeno powder (or use cayenne powder)
4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard

Simmer until onions are translucent. Serve warm.

Don't over-use it. It is highly acidic. Really brings out the flavor of the pork, but it can be too sour if you really slop it on.
 
Here's the piedmont dip the meat will be goin on in the AM
