is Blowin Smoke!
OK, I put the new CS-570 to work today. We're getting ready to retire the chitty digital camera in a couple of weeks when I get the wifey a digital SLR camera for her birthday. Hang with me on the carpy pics.
Started out w/ a breakfast fatty for tomorrow morning. JD Italian sausage w/ a sprinkle of turbinado sugar, some eggs, and a buttload of cheese.
I knew I was going to do a brisket overnight tonight, so I needed something to cook during the day while I worked on getting better w/ controlling the new smoker. Picked up some cheap drummies at Price Chopper. I'm out of Yardbird (working on it), so I used Gates seasoning on one side of them and KC Masterpiece on the other. Basted w/ Sweet Baby Ray's original. They were delicious, but next time I do them, I'll crank the temp up for the last part of the cook to see if I can crisp up the skin a bit more.
Now I'm on to the brisket. Injected w/ a weakened mixture of apple juice and Butchers. Rubbed w/ Bovine Bold. Here it is after an hour.
...and here it is at 6 hrs. I may or may not foil it. We'll see. I'll try to post more pics later, but we'll see how tired and stupid I am when it's done.
Finally, my 2-year old decided it would be lots of fun to pour his chocolate milk on my platesetter. So, I give you the chocolate milksetter. I'm agonna have to burn that off soon. Hmm...
