Along with bringing my new Performer to our summer get-a-way in Northern Michigan I bought a new 22.5 WSM. It is amazing how much bigger this seems than the 18.5 WSM I have at home in Ohio. I made some mods to the WSM adding casters and a second charcoal grate along with a couple eye bolts to make handles to pick up the charcoal grates. I've ordered the aluminum door from C&C GRILLIN' COMPANY so I've "pimped out my WSM."
I was going to christen the new WSM with a couple pork butts, one to eat and one to freeze for my next trip north. Well I was at Walmart doing some shopping and saw packer briskets, and in my year of BBQing I have not done a brisket soooo I figured now is the time. I have read and read for the past year about brisket and it is my turn to put the meat to the metal. I am doing a night cook. I hoped to put the brisket on at mid-night, but it looks like it will be after one when I get the WSM down to 250°. I did a little injecting with AJ earlier and rubbed with a rub I found in the book Smoke and Spice. It is now pushing 2AM I put it on when the temperature was something less than 300°, I'll check it one more time and make sure the temperature is coming down and then head to bed. I did not bring my Cyber Q with me so I'll depend on my Maverick to alert me if there is a problem. More in the morning.
