What's on the smoker today?

Having a get together today to celebrate the kids graduation today and figured I'd do a brisket. Did my usual injection and rub but trying something a little new today. I'm using a mop sauce every hour or so. Have done this once before and it turned out well but the mop sauce I used was as black as crude oil and made the brisket darker than I like. Plan on putting it in a foil pan with some aus jus and mop sauce in the bottom at 170 and wrapping.20220521_090836.jpg20220521_090822.jpg

perfect level of heat for me, i think i overdid it for tomorrow's dinner guests though. who cares more for me if so.
 
Sorry, missed this. They were great. I went sauceless. I actually prefer beef ribs over pork. If I can fill a cow tag close to the truck or on my property, I'm gonna smoke some elk ribs. mtmuley
Smoke a 2 lb back strap roast. Take it to ~120 degrees then sear it in a cast iron pan. It’s delicious. Also how I do tri-tip.

For those of you naysayers thinking to yourselves, "thats way too much bacon", please keep in mind theres a very real possibility i brown/black out before this day is over, and that bacon is my buffer against overcooking negligence.

Got a good size batch of jerky done on the smoker this weekend. Cut is 3.5lbs of beef eye of round, marinated overnight and smoked at 165-175 for about 5 hours with a mix of charcoal for heat and pecan for flavor. 1/2 of it will stay in the fridge for snacking the other 1/2 with be frozen for deer season in August.

A little drier than I wouldve hoped but still pretty damn good. Smoked it for about 7 hrs then transferred it to a dutch oven with poblano peppers, garlic, onion, and a beer for 3ish hours.

In retrospect I shouldve either just eaten it straight off the smoker, or added about 3x beers into the dutch so that it was almost covered in liquid. Ive never messed with injecting liquid mid-smoke but Im interested in trying that too.

It was sliced thin and served on a sandwich of my wife's sourdough, spicy pickles and mustard with swiss melted on top.

Damn. Looks delish.
 
Yesterday it was burnt ends day on a new Pit Boss 850 I recently got. Poor Man’s Burnt Ends (cubed chick roast) with Meat Church Holy Cow seasoning and Salmon with lemon pepper, hot honey and green onions. Turned out pretty good.
