Sweet P’s.

 

No I will not make out with you.

 

Sweet P's is the best I've had here.

 

If y’all aren’t onto him yet, there’s a guy on YouTube named Malcolm Reed (how to BBQ right is his channel) who is the master... I wonder where he keeps all the different kinds of smokers/grills he owns because he damn sure has a shitload of ‘em....

 

I hear you, Gomez Addams....

 

“Elvis burger, well done, and a sweet tea, please”

 

Y budina a la banana

 

Thanks for that. He has a nice YouTube Channel.

 

His procedure for smoking a thanksgiving turkey is the best I’ve ever tried. It’s time consuming and expensive but the ooohs and aaaahs I got from everybody at the table made it all worth the trouble.

 

What makes a brisket so hard to smoke properly?

 

As I understand it takes longer and is less forgiving regarding cooking temperature. I have a Flame Boss that allows me to regulate and hold temperature - https://www.flameboss.com/

 

Pork is fatter and more forgiving. Overcook pork a tad smoking and it's still pretty damn good.

Do that with brisket, and it's tough and kills the flavor.

 

I figured it had to do with the fat content. I have not smoked any beef yet. Pork and chicken I do pretty well with.

 

It's a worthless non fatty piece of meat off a cow while pork is delicious.

 

I smoke ribeyes over hickory or oak.... smoke them until they hit about 120, tent them for 5 to 10 minutes and then get a cast iron skillet red hot and sear each side for 1 minute.... best steak you'll ever eat.

 

I use this guy:

A temp controller really is a must have if you smoke at all. Makes it so much easier.

 

I'll take good brisket over pulled pork, but that in no way diminishes my love for the pork. Brisket done well is just special. I wonder now, though, if the rarity of great brisket may be contributing to my opinion.

 

Finding a place that does great brisket is few and far between so I'm sure that contributes to it, at least it does for me. I've wasted enough money on what claimed to be just good brisket but it was either dry or too tough. And as for pulled pork, I love it too. Just easier to find and I can actually make a pretty decent pork shoulder at home.
