ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Brisket hit 165' after six (6) hours. Time to Crutch it with foil, I figure I'll check in another two hours to see if it passes the probe test for smooth as butter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But looking to change to something else. Cherry does nothing for me, though I haven't seen any Ornamental to try. I like Hickory, Oak, Pecan and Apple for Pork.

You have to buy around $75 worth at a time to get it that cheap. im cooking some beans right now, from underdrippings from a butt the oter day... how you uploading pics? i hate the multi step camera to photobucket to link to here... i like ornamental cherry for pork, but all the stores sell the other type of cherry Pretty sure you can make Imgur default automatic backup for your photos so that you get automatic linking with one step.

ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 5.4# Brisket Flat, done in 10hrs.Unwrapped from the crutch and was very pleased, its now resting where the dogs have no chance of getting to it.Couldn't resist cutting a burnt end off, nicely tender and juicy... Mmmmm!The Butt was stalled at 170'ish so I decided to Crutch it too after setting the Brisket off to the side. Kicked the smoker's temp up to 275' and will give it another hour before checking it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Even Crutched the Butt took it's sweet time reaching 195' and getting butter tender.By the time it was ready to come off the smoker the family had devoured the entire brisket.So we'll be digging into the Pulled Pork starting at lunch tomorrow.I dig the color contrast between before and after crutching it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

termite 463 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Have to make a few "repairs/modifications" to the trap, them sum bitch pigs went ape shit crazy, bent some stuff and actually moved the whole thing about 2 feet, even with pipe drove into the ground and fastened to it, but where it's at a used to be a pond, so the poles will have to be driven deeper in the ground, they are at about 3-4 feet now, maybe after the mods, Chile will get a pig to grill for us, but you're gonna need a bigger smoker.

ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I can handle whole young pigs up to about 50#s on my grill. The new smoker can handle quite a bit, close to half a hog in primal cuts. But I need to buy some more racks. Edited November 8, 2016 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 For round #1 I put 47 lbs. of Brisket and Pork Butt in my Masterbuilt for a party last summer. Round #2 was chicken and sausages because they don't take nearly as long. mmmmm 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Didn't like the bark on the Butt after crutching it.I have to have bark meat sammiches when it comes to Pulled Pork, so I popped it into a 500' oven for a few minutes.Booyah! Looks like it never saw foil.And then I made lunch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I stop the smoke after 6-7 hours and spray with a mist of olive oil. Ribs I foil, then finish in the grill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sdustin 578 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 That's not slaw that's cabbage salad. Lol. I like my slaw ground to bits. Like we do in the south. Those pickled onions look amazing though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 That's because they are amazing. The regular are OK, but the Sriracha are out of this world. We could quite possibly argue for hours over the various ways to prepare a coleslaw. And that could be more contentious than religion/ politics. Minced slaw sucks, as do vinegar based slaws. LOL.
