Well I decided to try out a prime grade brisket instead of a choice grade one since the local meat market had some.
Yes it cost twice what I normally pay, but why not give it a shot.
The meat market had some Butcher BBQ brisket injection so I decided to pick some up. Here is the star of the show, Mr. Prime Brisket, with it's supporting cast.
Did the grid pattern on it throughout the whole thing. This injection stuff is messy business. Mr. Brisket took an overnight nap while moisturizing.
Did an equal part by volume ground pepper and kosher salt, and 1/4 volume garlic powder. Left the cast on the counter to get ready for the stage (come up to room temp)
While the cast warmed up, I set the stage. Ring of fire method w/ red oak. The ring is layers of 2 x 2 x 1 kingsford blue.
Got the audience riled up and ready to go. 8 kbb grayed over.
And Mr. Brisket and his crew take center stage.
Sublime Smokin Deck is live!
And now the performance goes on.
More pictures as the different acts take place.
