somebody shut me the fark up.
Well, here goes nothing. It's been over a year since I last tried a whole packer brisket. I did some freezer clean-out, and found a 17lb monster from the last $1.77/lb sale at Albertsons back in 2018. It defrosted in the garage fridge for a few days, and today's the day of reckoning.
I trimmed her up and cut out/off all the hard fat (3-4 lbs worth... sheesh). Hit her with some Sucklebusters Hoochie Mama, and fired up the long-ignored offset.
Meanwhile, CINCHOUSE whipped up some of her famous Cauliflower "Mac & Cheese" - Recipe at the link.
Added the pan to the smoker to join the brisket.
After a couple of hours, the cauliflower was done, and the brisket was ready for a wrap.
Here's where I get nervous. I haven't had a brisket go well in a LONG time... but it really probed nicely all across the flat/point line (avocado-like drag on the skewer). So I pulled it and it's resting on a sheet pan in the oven with the cauliflower. I must admit that it was nice and floppy when I picked it up, so that's a good sign.
Time to whip up some "mop sauce" that CINCHOUSE likes so much... just some apple cider, apple cider vinegar, bourbon, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and some rub.... heated a bit, then cooled for serving.
I'm pretty sure we have some of Wampus' Peach & Bourbon Beans to heat up, as well. :shock:
More to follow.
