Well it's Christmas eve morning and I've volunteer to smoke a brisket and a turkey for Christmas. Should be a nice leisurely day. The temp outside was in the fifties when I went out to start my fire. Once my chimney was started, I went to work on my brisket. I took it out of the fridge at 4am to get it up to room temp...

Then I unpacked it so I could get a good look at what I bought...

I decided it had too much fat on it so I trimmed 1 3/4 lbs. of it off...

I put it on the smoker at 7am. I will give updates during the day to let you know how it's going.

What are YOU smoking today?

Then I slathered it and rubbed it...

Fark! I am stuck at work today from 0700-2300 EST! However, I got my Blues Hog order so the next day off I am cooking chicken thighs, ribs, and a brisket.

Keep us posted!
 
I'm off to my girlfriends mother's house. They're full on Krauts. So German food tonight. She always puts on a good spread. Sauerbraten, wienerschnitzel, homemade Spätzle, red cabbage, potato pancakes, applesauce. & Plenty off beer & shots! :)
 
Don't piss off dad. Hate to see you come home without YOUR Wienerschnitzel!


Screw 'em. I'm still pissed they bombed Pearl Harbor.

Sorry I don't have a finished pic. I wrapped it in a towel and put it in a cooler. It's for dinner tomorrow.

Next I started on the turkey. Here is a pic of that bad boy all rubbed up!

so... its 9:00 AM Christmas morning (merry christmas btw)... is your charcoal started yet???
 
A balmy 31 in San Antonio right now. Got up early and started a couple of fatties for breakfast. Smoking some chicken breasts and skirt steak for taco salad at lunch. Will ad a stuffed pork loin later, and then two beef tenderloins for X-mas dinner tonight. So the rest of the day consists of my stretching out on the couch, eating, drinking beer, watching football, tending fire, and scratching myself, and drinking beer. Life is good!
