Brisket looks great Bill! How big was it? How long did it take? Huh, Huh? Inquiring minds want to know???

This was a small flat around 5 lbs. Between the 165* then into the foil with my special brisket glaze and back on until 195* it took 5 hours. It cooked down a lot. Packaged it in two vacum seal bags for my Batalian Chief.
 
Bill,

All of this looks good. I used Map Point and I'm 231 miles from Gordonsville, VA. 231 miles divided by 60 mph=3.85 hours. It is 3:05PM. I'll be there about 7PM.

They all really do look good!

Bill if come back to the beach this year, I think you should cook me a brisket.

No problem Cappy, one brisket delivered to OI. You meet us there with some ribs.
 
Sorry about not posting these last night. Here are the results:

Ribs:
I used Wolfe Rub on them and just spritzed them with a little apple juice during the cook. In my opionion, its the best rib I have ever cooked. I will be using Wolfe Rub from now on for my customers and my competitons.



Pork:
I tried something different on the butts. I have a new rub that I have been working on for some time and think I have finally got it right. I also injected them with apple juice and my rub. I spritzed them with apple juice during the cook, foiled at 170* and brought them up to 205*. As you can see in the picture, these puppys were MOIST, tender and easy to pull.



Turkey:
I used a cajun butter injection sauce on the turkey and did not rub the outside. I did use cheese cloth on it during the cook. I dont think that it is as nice as the ones I have done in an apple brine. We havent cut into it yet so I cant give you a taste review.

Brisket:
What can I say about the brisket. It was at the level of my first place brisket that I turned in in Lynchburg VA in 2004. Moist, tender and great flavor. I also foiled it at 165* and brought it up to 195* after putting on my brisket glaze.

Oh ya, while I was cooking yesterday, a lady called me wanting me to cater her husbands 50th birthday party. Seems that she had attended a party last year that I catered and loved my bbq. She said it was the best she has had. I LOVE WORD OF MOUTH advertising.
 
Butt injection sauce:

1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup rub
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

I injected 5 butts with it. I did have to strain it before injecting because the rub is course. I let it sit in the fridge over night too.

Food looks great Bill, did you foil the ribs also?

Yep, used the 3,2,1 method without the last hour. I figure since they were being reheated, no need.

Bob, I am hoping to make it to New Holland this year. Look me up then.
