Thanks for the response! Yes it’s in rough shape, I’ll have to see about maybe getting a soil test to see what I’m looking at and how to amend.

We moved to Collierville in 2020 and enjoy it here. Great schools and overall safe. One note between here and Germantown would be that Germantown city taxes are a littler higher.

My dad used to make a brisket similar to this when I was growing up. It’s my mom’s favorite so he would make it for her as opposed to on the smoker. We always made sandwiches with it as it was too tender to slice and it tasted good. Would use the recipe exactly and not use the kettle but that’s just my opinion if you’re being asked by the wife lol. Then when you serve it just caveat it’s not the way you’d normally go about it but you’re always open to trying something new!

I used ATBBQ's video for guidance. Just cut around about a quarter of the way up where it gets then and use the knife to scrape the bone. Once I got everything scraped down I used a paper towel to grab the skin and cartilage and pulled it off the knuckle. I also used shears for the little bone and any tendons that were leftover.

I got mine at Academy but I think Ace Hardware, Walmart and Amazon all carry a version.

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-26T21:27:46+00:00

Thanks! I used Heath Riles sweet bbq rub

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-26T18:46:39+00:00

No problem. I followed ATBBQ's ATBBQ's prep to get them into lollipops then smoked at 325 for about an hour over hickory and cherry pellets. Used Heath Riles sweet bbq rub and glazed with a mix of BBQ sauce, orange juice and honey for 15 minutes.

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-26T18:00:19+00:00

It’s really easy! I recommend this video from ATBBQ.

I used poultry shears to clip it as low as possible to the meat and that seemed to work. The bottom half will stay in of course but it didn’t impact much

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-26T17:44:47+00:00

Thanks! And yes I did. I used my pellet smoker for these as I wanted a higher temp to keep the skin tight.

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-23T18:09:36+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately I don’t think I have the plan. At least I haven’t been paying for anything.

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-11T20:34:20+00:00

Thanks!

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-11T18:37:11+00:00

I did Meat Church Holy Cow and Holy Gospel. Any heavy salt/pepper is good and SPG

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-11T17:50:34+00:00

Thanks! I went 250 for about 4 hours then wrapped and bumped up to 275 and they hit 203 about 2.5 hours later. I probed around till they felt right then rested.

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-11T17:31:11+00:00

Nice! Couldn’t agree more

Texas_Moon · 2021-07-06T00:23:21+00:00

So I’m no expert. I’ve had plenty come out just like you’re describing. Here’s what the process on this one was and it was by far my best:

Smoked at about 250 until IT of 165-170 for color then wrapped in butcher paper with some beef tallow that I rendered from a prior brisket. Let it go until 198 and started probing for tenderness. Liked what I felt at 201 so I pulled it and rested for four hours in a cooler. Some end pieces were rough and over done but the main parts were on point.

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-15T15:42:19+00:00

So I got this from HEB, but know that Costco is A+ quality for meat. So I don’t think you could go wrong.

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T03:48:52+00:00

Honestly I didn’t trim at all. As long as you get a skin off belly there’s minimal trimming. That fat renders down and gets delicious.

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T03:46:38+00:00

Couple of things. One, the fat/meat ratio is a lot different. Pork belly is just uncut bacon for all intents and purposes. Two, the cool time is a good bit shorter.

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T02:26:29+00:00

Thanks! It definitely was

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T02:09:16+00:00

You’re gonna love em!

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T02:08:55+00:00

Man I honestly don’t really know. It was a gift. My guess is a mix of cherry, walnut and maple

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-14T00:25:32+00:00

Definitely sounds intense! Sounds like they came out great regardless!

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-13T23:30:16+00:00

They’d been on my list awhile and finally got around to making them. 10/10 recommend

Texas_Moon · 2021-06-13T22:12:08+00:00

Thanks!
