cook for Christmas party this weekend

Postby sinfony78 » Mon Dec 21, 2015 12:21 am

3 racks Pork Ribs, Pork Butt, 2 racks Beef Ribs, Brisket

both sets of ribs came out perfect
pork butt was pulled too early, thick parts weren't as tender as others, but i had serve because the guests were getting restless after devouring all the ribs first

brisket - i have to work on trimming. can't figure out how to measure 1/4" thick fat cap on top when i can't see where the meat is underneath. for the most part, all the fat rendered, but i do have to work on deckle and take a little bit more off the point. also, i overcooked it...forgot that the stupid probe was off, so i cooked up to 195, but used thermapen to probe for tenderness, and IT read 206

bbq'ing is pretty darn fun, even if i'm up at 4am...now if i can figure out a way how to churn this out on the regular and sell it!

That is some great looking BBQ.

I am in the same boat as you on the trimming. I try but can't figure out the 1/4 inch thing either.

haha sorry okie, I think it did get lost

bsooner, there is a YouTube video of Aaron Franklin at the a&m bbq camp where he trims a brisket, but it's hard to see what he's doing...I am pleased with most of how my cook is going, I just need to get this part down

i bought them at kroger for $6.50/lb. $80 for two slabs

i asked for plate short ribs, but the sticker said chuck. i don't know the difference by look, but i hear that we should be smoking plate ribs (altho i've read several pitmasters around TX do use chuck)

i might call some high end butcher shops around houston (pete's fine meats, b&b butcher) and ask for plate, or at least see what the difference is

Your cook turned out very Good Congrats. :D
When you look at the edge of the brisket where the thick "white chocolate" fat is trim it down to a 1/4" or to the meat the rest of the cap leave alone. Here are some trim pics of a packer I did that may help.

Another thing you said your brisket was over cooked at 206° Do not rely on temp. I have had briskets hit 205°plus and be tough. I carry most of my briskets to 210° its all about the rest. ;)
