Title: I've a Flat/Butt
Post by: ChileRelleno on November 06, 2016, 11:58:06 PM
Taking my last vacation days this week, so it's time to finally christen our new smoker, a Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24".
I've a 5.4# brisket flat and a 8.5# Boston Butt in the fridge, all rubbed down and ready for an early start in the AM.

And here we go...

Plan on smoking these low and slow at 225'

Butt RUB
1C Brown Sugar
1C Paprika
1/2C Seasoned salt
1/4C Cajun mix
2T each Garlic and Onion powder

Rub butt, coat with mustard and rub again, plastic wrap, refrigerate and rub again before going in the smoker.

Brisket Rub
Take one cup of the above rub and add 1/8C ground Black Pepper
Rub liberally and plastic wrap, refrigerate and then straight to the smoker in the AM.

Just realized that I finally get to try my Pickled Onions on some Pulled Pork sammiches...  OH Yeah!
Maybe I'll put some in a slaw too... Have to have slaw with BBQ, right.

Post by: ChileRelleno on November 07, 2016, 04:28:54 PM
Couldn't find my pan for the Brisket so it's naked on the grill, oh well.
I'll get the juices when I Crutch it.

And made a batch of my Whup@$$ Coleslaw.
I normally forego carrot in my slaws, but the family wanted it.
I'll be adding some of my pickled onions to some of this later.

Brisket hit 165' after six (6) hours.
Time to Crutch it with foil, I figure I'll check in another two hours to see if it passes the probe test for smooth as butter.

Looks awesome, 
For a twist on your slaw.
Take that two cups mayo and substitute one cup each yogurt and buttermilk!
I think you will like it.

Thanks sounds great.

I also add pickle juice but then I don't have any of those awesome pickled vegetables you make.
I also like to add craisens sp?  Dried cranberry raisins.  And crushed Cajun spiced mixed nuts.

5.4# Brisket Flat, done in 10hrs.
Unwrapped from the crutch and was very pleased, its now resting where the dogs have no chance of getting to it.
Couldn't resist cutting a burnt end off, nicely tender and juicy... Mmmmm!

(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s190/ChileRelleno/IMG_20161107_151918203_zpsfdku4f7p.jpg) (http://s152.photobucket.com/user/ChileRelleno/media/IMG_20161107_151918203_zpsfdku4f7p.jpg.html)

The Butt was stalled at 170'ish so I decided to Crutch it too after setting the Brisket off to the side.  Kicked the smoker's temp up to 275' and will give it another hour before checking it.

Even Crutched the Butt took it's sweet time reaching 195' and getting butter tender.
By the time it was ready to come off the smoker the family had devoured the entire brisket.
So we'll be digging into the Pulled Pork starting at lunch tomorrow.

I dig the color contrast between before and after crutching it.

Thanks for the compliments.
It was and it disappeared with a quickness.

The Butt is pretty nice too, after resting for an hour I pulled on the bone and it slid right out.
Had to put it in the fridge till tomorrow for lunch/dinner.  
Will probably warm it up in the oven at 400' and firm the bark up again for sammiches.
Pulled pork sammiches piled high with coleslaw and pickled onions.
We be eating high on the hog!   8)

Didn't like the bark on the Butt after crutching it.
I have to have bark meat sammiches when it comes to Pulled Pork, so I popped it into a 500' oven for a few minutes.
Booyah!  Looks like it never saw foil.

And then I made lunch.

Thanks Dominick, the Pulled Pork off that Butt is pretty good... But the Brisket was even better.
