Well, this is a cooking weekend. I started off with the Weber Kettle on Friday and had my Pizza disaster. Then I used the wood smoker on Saturday and had some great country style ribs. Yesterday, I had a successful pizza cook on the Weber Kettle. Today I started up the Pellet Smoker and put on a very small brisket. A few months ago, I bought a trimmed brisket from Sam's Club, cut it in half and successfully cooked that half. There really is only the two of us so even a half of a brisket becomes a lot of meat for two people. We froze some, and my wife brought some to my son's business and it was gobbled up.
I have been marinading this brisket for 3 days in my Texas Rub with one cup of Teriayki, 1 cup olive oil, 1 cup beef broth, and 1 cup of worcestorshire sauce. After removing the brisket from the marinade, I just placed salt and fresh ground pepper on top of the fat cap of the brisket. It's on at 225 degrees, Maverick is set up, and pellet hopper loaded.
Now it is time to sit back and relax. I am watching Turner Classic Movies about the History of Cinerama and now it is time to switch to the Encore Channel where they are having a James Bond Marathon Movie thing going on .... Diamonds are Forever is getting ready to come on.
I sure hope that I get the results of Sam3. Well, we have a little while to go. Food temp 97 and pit temp 232. Waiting and watching.
Have a great holiday!
