Beef Brisket

Ok, I have been remiss again in posting.... I blame life... Lol.

I cooked a 5 and a half pound Brisket for friends of ours that we hadn't seen for awhile.... I posted pictures of it and then proceeded to get called and Harrssed by neighbors of ours about how dare I post pictures like that and then not share.... :-)

I then was told that they were gonna bring me a brisket the following weekend that I was going to cook and they would show up and eat.

So 7:30 am yesterday morning they show up with an 11 pound Brisket.

I quickly Seasoned it with Weber Tangy Sweet BBQ rub and then put on Montreal Steak Seasoning on top of that.

I then smoked it for 5and a half hours then pulled it off and wrapped it in the best thing ever for a BBQ'er Peach Paper, for those of you don't know what that is it is Red Butcher Paper that is treated to hold liquid in it but still allows smoke through...

I then let it sit on my smoker for another 5 and a half hours before pulling it off and letting it rest for 30 minutes before serving...

Was told it was my Best Brisket to date....

Easter Ham (Dry Run)

Wow, Life has been busy and this has fallen by the Wayside. Not sure what made me think of posting, but here I am.
I got an email a few weeks ago about Brining a Brisket in Orange Juice and Hot Sauce and i thought that would go well with a Ham!!!

Here is the ham after sitting in the Brine all night, ready to go on my Smoker.

I chose to Smoke this ham in a Blend of Cherry, Beech, Pecan and Tennessee Whiskey Barrel Flavored pellets on my Traeger Grill.
Here is what it looked like at the end of its cooking process.

And, then after i created a Coke, Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glaze....

The ham was Super tasty, however i wasn't as pleased with the glaze, i have already found another one that has Brown Sugar, Bourbon and Mustard in it.... Hopefully i will post those results after Easter.
