Please accept this as my entry to the happy meal TD! Brisket is my favorite BBQ item and consuming it make me happy...so does the process and adventures that can be had while cooking one! Here is my entry, kid crutch and all! :wink:
Been way too long since I cooked brisket and I had the craving!
Decided Sunday would be the perfect day to lounge around on the patio so I stopped by the grocery and picked up a small butt and a brisket point....check out that marbling!
I rubbed it down with Cooper's Olt Time BBQ rub and the butt with a mix of Oakridge Secret Weapon and Comp Beef & Pork rubs.
Got
Earl running about 275-325 and tossed them on.
While those were getting all happy, I thawed some JD Hot for a naked fatty rubbed with the same mix of Oakridge.
While everything was cooking, an explorer stumbled upon our site to see if any interesting artifacts or specimens could be found!
But things must have gotten harry when he got to the Temple of Toys and he must not have made it out....I can only assume that the Temple of Toy goblins got to him, becasue the next time I saw him, he was a ghoulish skeleton!
I wasn't sure what I was going to do to escape from the skeleton, so I did the only thing I could think of...I turned on the bat signal!
Whew! The day was saved....for now!
Meanwhile, back at the patio,
Earl had been cruising along and the fatty was almost done.
But on no! Pirates are afoot! We must protect the booty!
They have awaken the restless souls ghoulish skeleton crew!
I covertly carried the booty into the kitchen for nourishment!
...but it seems that the pirate followed my trail!
We did what we could to hide the booty in Pillsburry cresent rolls!
The pirates will never suspect to look for the booty here!
Mission accomplished!!! Whew!!!
Meanwhile...
Brisket just before wrapping in butcher paper!
And after it probed like buttah!
Here is the brisket after a couple hour rest...a bit overdone, but still juicy as hell and delicious! The Cooper's rub is a bit salty, but damn is it good!
Polling pic above!
And the butt after pulling....
We didn't put much effort into the sides, so plated with some corn and guacamole...
