Long Time No Smoke

Postby jwh » Sat Oct 03, 2020 12:30 am

Howdy, Fellers. It’s been over 2 years, I think, since I’ve posted. City life is a hard row to hoe, and the apartment complex I moved to forbids grillin’ and smokin’. Nevertheless, I am visiting my folks for a while, and my brother has an offset, and the itch needed to be scratcht. Brisket just got wrapped and is back in the “oven.” Hope you’re all well.

Here’s the Lyfe Tyme smoker:

Smoked some pork loins Monday evenin’ to clean off some rust.

She’s ready to wrap and break the stall:

Hopefully the Brisky will finish well. If so, more pics com in’ soon, LORD willing.

Looks great, I don't think I could give up my cooking equipment to live any where, life's to short to be deprived of what we love imo

Good to see you posting again. I understand the apartment grind. Thankfully mine lets us grill, just have to drag everything 10 feet away from the building. We are almost done serving our sentence though

Looks like you haven’t lost your touch!

Thanks, All. This is the most stubborn brisket I’ve smoked to date. 12lber pre trimmed. Started it at 6:30 pm last night. Stayed up all night with it, got to a stall, wrapped it, and this is one stubborn stinker. Still sitting at 165 (the stall was at around 150 something and stayed for several hours). Checked the probes in different locations, and compared to other thermos. They’re accurate. Also doesn’t feel “done.” I know they’re unpredictable, but man I’m sleepy.

JW- I’ve used what I refer to as the “KAM Pan” method with great results. You can probably use our search tool here and find some pictures. Basically, once the brisket has smoked 4 or 5 hours I take foil and make several aluminum balls about the size of a golf ball and place them in the bottom of a large aluminum pan. Set the brisket on top of the balls so it’s suspended and pour a can of beef broth in the pan. Seal it off super tight with more foil and put back in the smoker. If I’m doing a family Lunch serving I’ll smoke it from about 4-9 pm then pan it and stick it in the oven at 180 for the night. Most of the time when you get up the Internal temp will be 180 and it doesn’t take very long to get it up around 200 from there.

I’ve done those 24 hour cooks. It’s a beating. But your results were very good buddy.

Since, have gotten grooved w Rosebud so she can be from go to stop anywhere from 8 to 17 hours. Just took me time to master the thermodynamics.

Beating is a good word to describe this cook. I still haven't recovered. Ha ha ha! But the brisket ate real nice, and everybody enjoyed it. So, worth the beatin', I suppose.

In my opinion, this piece of meat is in the mouth. You have a great big grill. I have a smaller one, I myself dream of a big one. How long have you simmered this meat and at what temperature? It's just that meat comes out of different quality if it is baked for different times at different temperatures. Sometimes in my grill I make the temperature regime like in a sousvid, the meat languishes very slowly and turns out pink and juicy.
