The brick shelter was already on the property when we moved in and it was quickly dubbed, "The Grill House".
You really didn't expect me to provide a list of ingredients, did you? If you want the recipes then you have to ask him. All I can tell you is that one pan has stuff in it to make up the brine for the brisket and the other has stuff in it to brine the shrimp. The meat was in the bath overnight and the seafood simply needed about half and hour--30 minutes that made a huge difference! They were so flavorful.
Scoring the fat layer after its bath.
Applying the dry rub...once again, ask him if you want to know what's in it. I do know he used the top portion of our spice cabinet...and it was tasty!
Smoking and checking the temp. Our digital remote probe thermometer died a couple weeks ago and we just haven't ordered a replacement...so he had to do things the old fashion way with an instant read meat thermometer.
The slab of meat was treated to a very lovely beer steam bath after this, and the results were tender, juicy, flavorful and very little left over.
He'll tell you that it was too dry and he's just not pleased. Tell him to shut up already--that's what we did. Why are cooks their own toughest critics?

Because we don't want people to say "oh, that's great!". We want them to tell us stuff that we can tinker with to create the perfect brisket.
Duh. ;)
Some good tips here, thanks!
And here I was thinking it was because he was fishing for me to say, "No, Baby, you're still the greatest"...
Honestly? Once he started brining the meat first he reached perfection.
it was sooo yummy...I had seconds and I never get seconds :)
i was going to ask, what is brisket? but i'm guessing it's that lump of meat you so deliciously described and posted pictures of.
but still. what is brisket? pork? beef? crocodile? ostrich?
Mmmmm...ostrich...the other red meat!
Brisket is a slab of beef from somewhere around the ribs. One of those parts that needs to be cooked a long time to become tender and juicy.
Wow! I'm starving hungry now!!
come on over, Sub! There's a little left over.
