Maiden Voyage for my WSM VIDEO-PICS

[surfinsapo]

I bought a trimmed brisket a few hours ago during my lunch break and am marinating it in "Bock & Brown sugar" by Cookwell and company. I am going to fire up my WSM when I get home and BBQ the brisket.. Do I stick a Temp gauge in the top vents? I made one of them Piedmont pans and am going to use the minion method again. I'll take pics and video if it aint too dark... See ya in a bit!!!!!!

[LarryWolfe]

The briskets upside down Sapo!

 

[surfinsapo]

Thanks Larry... This is at 0600...WSM held at 235 perfect!!! :P

 

[LarryWolfe]

Sapo I was kidding, some people cook fat cap up and some cook them down, just a matter of preference, there's no right way!

Looking good! How did the temps work for you through the night?

 

[Tannehill Kid]

SS are you going to use any wood chunks? Talking about thermos I like using the Maverick with the remote receiver. Also have a Tru-Tel in the lid. May I add I bought all from Larry at wolferub.com. Ok Larry when do I get my check

I know your kidding man.. I just put it on this way. I was freakin tired lastnight. The temps held great. Right around 235 allnight. still have a few hours of coals left too.. Man it sure smells good in the neighborhood this morning... I really love this smoker and plan on getting one of the new ones once they come out.. They are perfect for traveling.. Nice and light, unlike my Kamado and offset...

SS are you going to use any wood chunks?

Tannerhill, I put some wood chunks in between the coals before I started the minion method.. The video will show this procedure... I'm getting hungry.. What yall suggest for sides? Man this Cajun or should I say Creole coffee is kicking my butt...

 

[LarryWolfe]

What yall suggest for sides?

I would suggest Wolfe Beans and slaw. Good homemade simple slaw can be made by combining 2 bags of pre-shredded slaw mix (cabbage and carrots) with 1 jar of Marzettis slaw dressing.

Looking good SS.

 

[Toby Keil]

Looks great SS. Isn't the WSM a wonderful little smoker.

 

[Unity]

Nice job, SS, good first cook on your shiny shock WSM. I wish I'd used Minion Method the first few times I cooked with mine.

[surfinsapo]

Thanks yall - I am totally happy with this smoker and will definately get a 2009 model from a BBQ Central friend... anyway, here's the results!!! I didn't use any rubs or salt.. Just "Bock and Brown sugar".. My wife already ate a bunch of the brisket... Yeah, free for awhile from doghouse....

 

[Unity]

That's some good-looking brisket.

[Nick Prochilo]

Holy $hit that looks good!

 

[wittdog]

What St. Nick said
Great job SS

 

[Bruce B]

Good job SS...just a word of advice, when cooking on the top grate, you might want to remove the second cooking grate below it, saves you some cleanup of a grate that you didn't use, unless, you're into that kind of thing.
