I was feeling my old self yesterday and did some cooking and even took a few pictures.
the other day :becky: told me we had a Sam's club membership because they gave it so cheap. I decided to go check them out. I always preferred Costco bit there I was. the only positive of Sam's is there are less people. what is really annoying is the sales people pitching you for more crap. I'm at a warehouse store...I'm already buying a ton of unnecessary stuff. sure you save money buying in bulk but then you see a giant inflatable water slide and poof your at $600 for quick trip to pick up a brisket and 96 rolls TP for the wife
I did mention the reason for the trip was I'm fixing brisket? I've never been a fan of exel brand beef but it is prime grade. I also grabbed a cooks snack for later.
so I got everything I need...except wood chunks. so back to the store. now we're ready. my usual trim. ⅛ fat cap, round out the edges and dig out some deeper pockets of fat. I went with a base layer of lawrys and a top coat of Q-salt. I've settled in to that as my goto brisket combo
I threw the brisket on my drum around 9pm. a thunder storm came through just as I did but my old rusty drum doesn't mind
I also had the put boss fired up for some t bone lamb chops
and now we wait. once the drum is dialed in it coasts all night. I trust this cooker more than any pellet grill or controller fan that's for sure. I flip to fat cap up after 3 hours and once more a few hours later. after about 10 hours the brisket is close to done @ around 190°. I brought it in and wrapped in butcher paper with a little tallow...did I mention I made tallow with the trimmings? just chopped them up and put em in a crock pot. I never got into the whole tallow wrap thing but figured I'd give it a try.
so now she's off into the turkey roaster at 200 to finish and then at 150 to hold until lunch time.
see you at lunch. I gotta go it's almost time to make pancakes with willow
