So after a pretty successful initial run on the Backwoods Party on Monday cooking butts and ribs I'm giving brisket a whirl today.
After my first cook with some help of the brethren I learned a lot about Backwoods smokers. Here are the 3 most important rules I learned so far.
Backwoods Rules to Never Forget
1) Keep it away from bright light.
2) Don't get any water on it.
3) Never, never ever feed it after midnight.
................wait this might be from something else :becky:
Back to reality. Since they seem to cook faster I'm starting my brisket at 11am. It is 10.5lbs so I'm guessing 8hrs +/- some. Hopefully all goes well. Very interested to see how this cooker makes brisket. Stay tuned for more during the day.
Fired it up at 9:30am with some weber cubes in the back. I got tips on a few ways to light it and this worked last time so keeping it the same.
Got the best looking brisket Sams had with the thickest flat. Was 10.5lbs and oddly came with this handy dandy knife sticking out of it :crazy:
Trimmed a little and the injected. Did this at 9am. I'll rub it right before it goes on which is my normal protocol.
