Got my smoke on, brisket in progress (with pron)
Got my smoke on. Put a 13.5 pound brisket on early this morning, along with a 3 pound hunk of deckle. Dry rubbed with my mix of equal amounts of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, with just a little bit of cayenne. Smoking with Royal Oak hardwood lump charcoal and oak, hickory and pear for flavor (I usually use apple, but I didn’t realize that I’m all out of apple wood). I've got my temp fixed at around 220-225. I also put two homemade sausages on about 40 minutes ago just to tide me over for a bit. Here is some pron:

Thanks. More pics when there's more to show. Meanwhile, here's my sausages ready to eat (hotdog style).

Brisket done. Sorry the pics aren't so great, I'll try to take some better pics later. I also made my own BBQ sauce: 14 oz ketchup, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce, 1 ounce yellow mustard, 1 ounce fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons paprika, healthy 1/4 cup ancho chile powder, healthy teaspoon hot pepper flakes, 1 healthy teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, a tiny little bit of mollases (roughly a teaspoon), healthy 1/3 cup of brisket drippings and 3 cups of water; brought to boil; then reduced over strong simmer until thick and rich. Here are some food pics:

Very tasty and super juicy -- but not as strong a smoke flavor as I generally like and usually get out of my rig. This is my first smoke of the season (been four months since my last brisket), so I must have done something wrong. Everyone seemed happy and I had zero leftovers, so I guess all's well that ends well. I'll have to smoke another one for Sunday. ;-) Just as well, as it'll give me another chance increase the smoke quotient.
