First at bat...

I have been plotting on the time to jump in and show the goods. The problem is if I wait til I have comparable cooking accessories I will sit in the backseat for a few years and let some great chunks of meat go by without due attention. Charcoal is King around here and that is how I smoked this bad bitch. This was a 9 lb brisket rubbed with honey mustard and some goodness I have been working on for awhile.




I smoked with mesquite wood (normally I use apple), in my battle field tested barrel smoker for about 15 hrs. Upon it's completion I wrapped it in tin foil and let it sit for an hour or so. This is what perfection looks like.





Check out that smoke ring! I am an amateur when it comes to blogging, so I don't have a presentation picture with the whole spread, I will be sure to hone in my skills for the follow up!
