A Guam Style Brisket

Jeanie, that looks awesome! I might try it next week, what temp did you run? Also, how do you know when it's done?
 
Can I play too??

Actually showing each other our blades was a great reason to bump this back to the top.

Ye ole Hasty Bake. It takes a classic to make a classic - loved that cook (being the jerky head I am). Looks much easier to chew. It's got my jaw socket popping with anticipation
 
Wow, this is something I have never seen before and now it has been firmly placed on the 'Need To Cook' list!
Bravo!
 
Interesting!

How would you describe the flavor Jeannie? With the Tenderquick and soy is it salty like jerky? "Hammy" at all? How do you eat it?
 
Not sure what to call this. It's a recipe from friend Rueben in Guam. He and his wife Lupe are wonderful cooks and this is a recipe they shared with me a couple of years ago. Rueben said it's one way they like to prep briskets and he takes it with him while hiking.

Here's the last batch I made. I love the stuff!

the brisket was between 14 and 15lbs..

I didn't trim it, just sliced it into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices...

the hot coals are about 1 1/2 ft or so from the meat. I need to measure to be sure.
I smoked with the hood closed but had flare ups whenever I opened it to check the meat. The fat from the strips dripped onto the hot coals..

the meat is plump, juicy and tender. It's one of my favorite ways to prep brisket.

I divided it up, bagged some for the freezer and bagged some to take camping with me this week.

Sorry for so many pics again!

Thanks for looking!

Wow, that looks awesome!! What temp were you cooking at?
