Second run on the WSM was last night.


I used a loaded pellet tube below the charcoal grate.











You can see it smoking away as I loaded my firebox with Kingsford Pro, pellets and cherry chunks. I dumped hot coals on top and then assembled the WSM on top.

















Did a homebrew rub for the semi-trimmed fatty side...









Used my favorite brisket rub on the meaty side.

















Put it to bed purring like a kitten.......











Checked on it this morning......still purring away.









Brisket temp still a was off from being ready.....

This little table is proving to be handy when set up next to the WSM.






Has some cutouts to lock in the little 18" Jumbo Joe.




Went ahead and dumped a load of coals from the starter and let 'em run for a few hours as we got caught up on Game of Thrones and then threw some burgers on three hours later.

Dang! How many days did you leave that on there?
That's some serious bark.

I can't imagine how good those samplings must have been.


I was introduced to brisket for the first time in my life at or around age 30 on a couple month work trip to Oklahoma City.

Every corner seemed to have an excellent steak house....was hard to make the decision to order brisket....glad I did. Changed my life.

My son would love it.
He'll pick all the bark off if you don't watch him.

Not a fan of this brisket. Been sitting in the fridge most of the afternoon.

Bark is good.

Juicy and tender.

Smoke flavor is lacking.

Next time I cook on the WSM I'm leaving the water out of the pan and see how it does.

Home from work tonight and found son famished.



I figured we'd need to eat some of this sammich-grade brisket......in sammiches.



Warmed up enough for three sammiches.






Did a batch of home fries for him.






Two eggs made ready....one for my brisket sammich....was hoping he'd try one, but he declined. Shame, because it's a game changer for certain.





His pair...








My solo....

That looks mighty good! I always look forward to your cooking threads, except they make me immediately hungry.

I ain't never cooked on laying mash, though?

Bigtime cheating, too. Set it and forget it. The Guru takes over and runs rock steady.

Thanks, man.


Those pellets look funny in the pic, but I promise you they look even funnier when they get wet. I learned the hard way when I fumbled and dumped a water pan all over a batch of coals loaded with pellets.
