Have had good luck with a brisket as the weather has turned cooler. Been getting really nice smoke ring as well as good bark.
I have been injecting both the brisket and butts with Lilly's injection. I know most recommend using beef broth when injecting brisket, but I really like the results I am getting with Lilly's. For rub, I have been using head country.
These pics were from 3 or 4 weeks ago. Did another brisket sunday for a super bowl party as well as a couple of racks of spares. Forgot to take pics of these. Brisket turned out great. Ribs tasted really good too, but it was a little too fall off the bone so I guess I overcooked them a little.
Tried Blues Hog sauce for the first time, really liked it on the ribs, but too sweet for the brisket. For brisket I like head country regular doctored with srirachi, lemon juice and black pepper.
I have come to really love burnt ends.
In addition to the bigger items, I have been throwing walmart beer n brats on in small empty spots in the smoker. I don't seem to have these down as well as other stuff as I seem to get most of them too well done. I think I need to start just leaving these on an hour or so as a few were really good that just turned red, but never went over to gray. I had been cooking most of them more like 2 hours or so and by then they are just shriveled up and gray.
