I am planning an Epic Memorial Day BBQ 2014. I plan on having about 25 people over. I want Ribs and Brisket to be the main meats. I've done both on my weber kettle with the smokenator and both come out really well. However that was minor league stuff. I got the WSM 22 of Christmas and I am ready for the big leagues.
About the Brisket, I've actually only did the Flat on my Kettle about 3 times. I did the Texas Crutch and it took me about 7 hours. I want to do an overnight packer now. By the time memorial day comes around, I should also have the Digi Q DX2 to help out. But I do have some questions. I also have the Maverick 732.
Meat, I would like to do Prime or Wagyu Brisket, I leave in Washington DC. I really can not find it here locally. I can order it online, but I would have to pay an additional $70 for shipping. I was trying to avoid this. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Any companies do free shipping etc/ best customer service?
Cooking- If I am lucky enough to find Prime or Wagyu beef, do I really need to cook it differently than choice beef. On the paradise meat website, they recommended that I cooked it to about 175 internal temp I believe that seemed extremely low. Is this correct?
Cooking II- Can someone assist me with a plan of attack if I am going to do both Ribs and a Brisket on the WSM 22 ie which meat should go on the bottom rack, when to put the ribs on, how should I time everything so that the Ribs, Brisket and Burnt Ends are all done at the same time.
Thanks for the input.
