@dangledo my homies daughter is having a graduation party tomorrow. He asked if I’d smoke some briskets and of course I said yes.

5 briskets, I told him we should’ve gone with 6 or more. But we also have a shit ton of sausage I’m gonna smoke tomorrow. Plus all the sides they’re making. So we should be good to go.

Damn that's what's up. Those look perfectly trimmed. Bark looks amazing. Bet that was a happy bunch. . Clearly I've got a lot to learn. trimming, bark, the wrap...

Think prime might've been too much fat for a rook, here

. Seems like I could've trimmed twice as much in some spots and less in other.


Been meaning to post my results. First couple inches of the flat was a bit dry, which freaked me out. Think I trimmed too much fat for that thin area. The rest was damn good. Took lots of restrain to not pop the lid and take a gander. 7 hours Gary, I made it 7 hours without fucking with it, not even a gander. You should be proud lol. Tossed in a probe and a quick mist.

I didn't end up wraping cause it was in stall when I read what you all recommended and had a little time crunch. Fucker went 13 hours and I just made it work with a one hour rest before dinner time .

What was left after I sent some home to fam. The next day I sliced some up really thin while cold then simmered in a thinned out bbq. Holy shit, amazing sammies. Ate 4 of em.

Got some good butcher paper so I'm really looking forward to another round with a brisket.

Bro that looks legit! Hey, its a learning process. I'm sure you'll get it down in no time. you're already off to a great start. I wait till after the stall to wrap, so at like 170. then at 200 I take them off and let them hang out for a minimum of an hour, but 2 is even better imho. I also like to put them in a cooler.


but right now im doing 5, I dont have a cooler big enough. Soooooooo..... wtf, im gonna make it work somehow,

What's up @420God it's been a while bro. I hope all is well with you your farm,fam, and pebbles? I think pebbles..... you know your birds. I was helping the nephew load his pig up for fair and it made me think about you when I was walking through all the calves at the dairy.

Hope all is well buddy.

Going good. Pebbles was a victim to the barn cats a couple months ago, it's nature and she was getting kinda cocky. We actually just told the farmer we get the calves from we won't be taking anymore. Our meds are running out and you can't buy more, you have to have a vet come out and we just can't afford that for calves we get for free. It's different for the big farms that have vets on hand that work for them. We're not worried about it though, we have a couple beef calves so we can still raise our own. Allows us to be away from the farm without having to worry about all the animals.

Well that's good your able to get away bro. Sorry to hear about your bird that sucks. I use to keep doves like that. I've only got one left and he's outside in a big cage by the porch. A virus came through and wiped out my whole Avery. Pheasant,quail, and all my dove except one. I'm actually starting my apprenticeship at my brothers tattoo shop soon. Ive been enjoying being around the shop more while remodeling. If it works out good I'm going to be down scaling a lot myself. My pops isn't well at all and due for his second heart surgery in august. The meds have him very chill. So having more time to be with the boys and him would be nice. It's about the only switch I could make this late in life and make decent money. I'll always have the land with my other house but I'm Guna sell all the other plots and houses next year if it all works out. Glad to hear you and your family are good brother.


RIP Pebbles

Spent the better part of the week excavating for a neighbor and got paid in cow. He gave me an entire cow. I got to pick it and send it to its doom. My son didn't immediately get that the cow was coming home with us in freezer wrap, not a halter. He wanted to name the cow.

I suggested we go with "Chuck"....

I told the packers to cut me a couple of nice 7-bone roasts out of the chuck before they ground it all. I've never had one but apparently it's a cut that used to be more common but takes so long to cook, people have lost interest. The flat iron steak is cut from one of the muscles in the 7-bone roast and now that butchers strip that muscle for sale as steak, it's become the most valuable piece of the entire chuck... so you won't likely find a 7-bone roast in the store ever again. Goofy as all this sounds, I'm looking forward to cooking one of those roasts. I thought I'd had cow every way cow could be had.

The different cuts we never see in the store surprised me. I just recently found out about hanger steak, a.k.a butcher's steak, called that because usually the butcher takes it because its so tender.

Ohh ok , here where I live we call those mudder fuckers.


I do my own finishing so I'm not dealing with that stuff . Do you have the porter cable power vac rotary sander , it sure cuts down on the dust when remolding or working in occupied offices
