What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[Jer]

Damn, that sounds like a pretty solid deal. Might have to look into it. Did you have to buy two to get that price? What were the weights?

The one we bought was almost 13 pounds. Only had to buy one.

I need to get a Costco membership, it sounds like.

Question:

Does anyone have any tips for smoking a corned beef brisket? I have one left over, and rather than crockpot cooking it, I would love to smoke it.

Was that on the bigger or smaller side of what they had? It's just two of us (likely more would show up to help us eat it however) so looking for smaller sizes this time. Just curious if they have any smaller ones or if they're all pretty large.

[MarkCO]

That was the smallest. Most were larger.

Thanks for the info.

Yesterday was brisket, Boston butt, and some Polska for Father's Day today. Also made some andouille, but it didn't hit the smoker.

This is what freezer bags were made for.

Just 2 of us here, but we package up the leftovers and pop them in the freezer. It's nice to be able to thaw a package without having to fire up the smoker.

If you'd like to check costco out LMK. We can meet at the one off harmony rd & 25.

What you smoking on? We do CBB on a pellet smoker. 1hr smoke (apple, hickory equal parts, with 1 cup of mesquite mixed in) move temp to 275 for 1.5 hrs, then transfer to foil pan. Before you transfer mix up 8oz of a fruit flavored bbq sauce & 1/4c dijon mustard. put 1/2 the mix on bottom of foil pan, add CBB then remainder of sauce over top of it. Cover with foil. Cook another 1-3 hrs or till temp reaches 185. Remove and let sit 20-30 min before slicing.

We started with this basic recipe than made our own sauce. Last time we used a basic Baby Ray's sauce, 1/2 on bottom then mixed in with the other 1/2c A 1/2 cup crushed pineapple. That's the nice thing about smoking, or grilling trying different sauces & marinades.
Regarding the use of mesquite (lightly) that back flavor gives you a hint of it but blends well with the hickory & apple for a nice smoked flavor. YMMV

Was awesome. Had with a Nitro Milk Stout and wife made a Chocolate-Banana Custard pie for dessert.
