A Little Outdoor Cooking

[FuzzyWuzHe]

At 18 hours on the smoker ... I took it off because the internal temp was 180*. Brisket has gotten pricy and didn't want it to get dried out.

Here it is:



Here it is in the middle:



Here's my plate:



Okay ... a question for the "Good Cooks". I'm guessing Sully knows this ... LOL. I can never figure out how to cut a brisket ... I know you're supposed to cut it against the grain. So, here's two pictures ... which cut is correct to be against the grain?

1)



2)



I'm guessing 2), but, I've been wrong before.

I tried both. I couldn't tell much difference between the two.

Okay, so how did it taste ... tasted just a step below Texas brisket. Very moist and really yummy. Not as tender as Texas brisket. I'm guessing I should have let it go for another 3 hours or so. Next time, 21-24 hours @156-175*. But all in all, very good. Mom even liked it ... and she's hard to please.

Carla ... made you a plate ... now you need to get here to eat it ... you know ... kind of like when you tease me about you going to get BBQ.

I cut mine starting at the widest part down towards the smallest part. But Hey, all you need is a Juicy flow and a good Smoke Ring. Looks Good Fuzzy.

I kind of forgot the 4th of July was coming ... and wasn't about to go to the store on the 3rd. Rooted around in the freezer (yep, it lives in the magic garage ... ) and found a bunch of beef ribs that were left over from the ends of a package I did awhile ago. Took them out, put them into the refrigerator and let them thaw.

Did not do anything fancy with them. Little salt, little pepper, little garlic. Like I said, not fancy. Put them on the grill and did a slow cook for about 6-7 hours. I don't like the pellet smoker for ribs, just haven't figured them out yet, so I did them on the indirect charcoal smoker.

I also had 4 ears of corn on the cob I picked up while running around Wednesday. We, being a small town, and very close to Olathe, Co., nne of the best climates to grow corn (really hot in the day and cool at night to allow the starches to turn to sugar), have farm stands that you can drive up to and get fresh stuff.

After the ribs cooked and internal temp was 200*, I boiled 4 quarts of water, dropped in 4 ears of corn, turned the heat off an let them "steep" for 10 minutes while the ribs rested.

Turned out to be a really good dinner. Sat there and fed my face while Trump celebrated this great country ... what more could a guy ask for.

Ribs, not a lot of meat on each one since they were the ends of the package, but there where 10 of them for the two of us and the 4 dogs (I'm sitting for the God dogs again).



Corn, we call this butter and sugar ... not sure why, I just call it Olathe corn .. LOL.



Hope everyone had a great day and got to eat your fill.
