Patriot Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Every now and then we enjoy beef brisket and we really miss our Texas - Rudy’s barbecue days. One of my other hobbies and always a work in progress is smoking meat, fish and chicken on our a Traeger LiL Texas pellet grill. We picked up a nice 9# brisket the other day and decided to let it slow and go roll in hickory smoke for 6-7 hrs @225d or until the internal temp hits 180-190d. I dry rubbed this one early this morning and will post up a few pics when it’s done. We are celebrating/giving thanks for a successful blueberry harvest finishing out with 42.5 gallons of berries this year. We are truly grateful as it’s our best yield in the 11 yrs we have been growing them. Yes we eat a lot of blueberries, this harvest will take us well into 2021/22. In an effort to keep this post Ollie related I made sure Hull 634 was captured in my pic.😁 We use the igrill mini for accurate internal meat temp..it’s been a great tool/app. It works flawlessly.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted July 19, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2020 We love our brisket, too. I usually smoke a big one on my Primo smoker once a month or so. We freeze what we don’t eat or give away. I’ve got plenty to take with us on our trip to Colorado next week! I usually smoke at 225-250 degrees and then cover with foil at about 8 hours. Then I keep it on the smoker until internal temperature is between 190 and 195. Yum!

Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 19, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Your brisket looks great. Love to see a photo when you're done. We have a big Kamodo Joe, and love the brisket on there. It takes a long time, as we usually smoke one between 13 and 20 pounds. We take it off around 170, wrap it ip and take it to above 203, and smoke it another 30 to 40 minutes to get the crispy bits. We've done corned beef the same way, several times, but I soak the cb brisket overnight to leech out some of the salt. Then coat it with just mustard, instead of mustard plus a dry rub. Yummy. With your beautiful blueberries, you might try making the 12 Bones Asheville Blueberry Chipotle bbq sauce. It's really great on ribs. I've had the sauce at the restaurant in Arden, but I haven't made this recipe they shared yet. It reads pretty sweet.

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted July 19, 2020 Moderator+ Share Posted July 19, 2020 I am impressed with each of your culinary skills. I wish I had some of your talent.

BackofBeyond Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Nice meat . Similar to your experience Our berries have been really prolific this year. Blue berries, and blackberries. Way more than we can use, freeze or give away - however, my honey production as about a third of normal years. The wet spring just didn't help at all - the girls were house bound way to much.... The deer wrecked havoc on the garden while we were gone all of June - but its on the mend.... I looked at the Traeger LiL Texas pellet grill. I just can't get past the $$. we don't eat that much meat - but my son has nothing but great things to say about his. Perhaps one day I'll let my guard down. RB 1 Cindy, Russell and "Harley dog" .

Patriot Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Thank you for the nice compliments! Just a work in progress. A few pics of of the finished brisket....Kathy made homemade warm potato salad and baked beans with a little local mule kick chipotle bbcue sauce. We don’t eat this way every day...but I gotta say we are pleased with how tender it turned out. I even managed to get a nice little smoke ring going on. We do like brisket with breakfast. No room for blueberry cobbler...huh? it should be illegal to say that...😄 Gotta have a little bark.

Wow we will have to give this a try on ribs someday. We made homemade blueberry waffles Friday morning....oh..the carb overload was rough.😴 We toughed it out. Still working on the amount of waffle batter as you can tell. 😄 We also enjoy blueberry smoothies especially when it’s warm outside.

We have to net for deer and birds...a lot of work but it really helps. We had lots of honey bees in our blueberries this past spring. It was great to just listen to them and watch em work the blooms. No late frost helped us out a lot and a fair amount of rain. We use drip irrigation which helps a lot. As for the Traeger they are expensive..,ours is 5 yrs old now and it’s been a good one.
