All night long - June 22/23

[KC_Bobby]

So who's cooking with me?

I'm just about ready to throw my brisket on. That's it, just a 10 lb packer. Neighbor said he'd throw on a butt, but when I asked him this evening he said he was going to the store in the morning to get it. Dumbass, I told him I was doing an overnight on Friday. That's what he gets for not listening.

I would have liked to have a butt over the brisket to drip fat on it, but it's cool. I kept the fat cap I trimmed off. I plan on just putting the brisket fat on the rack above and letting it drip on to it. Wit the Backwoods, I pretty much cut all of the fatcap off, it keeps enough humidity in for tenderness. Cutting it off allows me to rub more meat rather than fat.

Gonna smoke some sliced zucchini and squash in the morning melted in butter with some various seasonings. Might even throw on some hot wings .. we'll see.

Now who's with me? Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?

Where were you last night?

 

[KC_Bobby]

Sleeping - gotta work during the week.

Now I see lightning in the distance - to the westnorthwest, that ain't good and the breeze is kicking up.

Got the Backwoods under the EZ Up and a tarp on the northwest side. Raincoat is beside my backdoor. I'm ready for a battle.

Could be worse. Lenexa will get it before I do.

my neighbor has called the fire dept and they have blessed
my WSM and left.
Got a 10# brisquit savoring out there and told the rain to move North.

Plan on sitting up tonight for chits and grins...B-cause I want to

Update from SE KC - a few drizzles, but even they are dying down. The breeze also seems to be less frequent. Even the beer has also slowed down. But the Backwoods is loaded - coals and water. At anytime I can crash and be good for 5 hours before feeling the need to check.

And the Guru is all covered just incase the rain decides to come down.

10 lb brisket (before trim) - 7 hours @ a steady 230. Woke up this morning to the Maverick reading 191. Wrapped in suran and in the cooler holding.

Just put on sliced zucchini and squash in a pan seasoned with garlic, pepper, and season all. Will add butter a little later.

Also put on small wingettes for some hot wings.

Too tired to get on last night. Wifey pissed me off. Long story.
Anyway, 18 lbs of but on the WSM as of 9:45 last night. Temps at about 170 now. Smells good out there boys!!!
WSM ran about 12 hours at 230-240 without doing anything to it. Added some fresh lump this morning, had no idea how long I would be at plateau.
Can't wait.

And the Guru is all covered just incase the rain decides to come down.

I'll tell you what I did with my Guru a few years ago - best ten cent investment ever. I put the Guru in a ziploc plastic baggie. I put the ziploc on the bottom side, and tore a little hole in the side where the probe, power, and fan cord go in. Then I put a little hole on the back where the bolt comes out. That way the electronics are covered, but you can still turn the knobs and watch the progress.

Oh yeah, and I plug the transformer into an extension cord and wrap it up in a plastic grocery bag.

Waterproof Guru has been through several storms with no problems.

I wish I was doing something special this weekend. :icon_sleepy

Tonight two briskets go into the WSM. One I've had in my freezer since Janunary a select grade at 9.75lb from Stater Bros. I trimmed it down to about 7.5 (alot, too much fat, but I kept it incase I see the need to put some of it atop). And one I picked up at Costco (choice grade) coming in at around 7.5lbs didn't trim because it was just right.

They will go on between 9 and 10pm.

They both are injected with a marinade on ofthe Bro's here suggested;
Beef broth
Westishire
Onion and Garlic Powder
Cayanne.

One has a rub of salt and pepper. One has Bayou Magic as a rub.

I plan on taking pics.
