Damn you sure do eat good.

I think that you should take that show on the road starting in Phoenix. I need to eat before I look at this thread. It's damn near torture.
Hey it could happen, one of my long time friends lives there. Part of the problem is that the store right around the corner from me has about every type/grade of meat you could want.
NEVER?
Coming from Texas, that's like some saying they've never tried water.
You've not had corned beef or Pastrami? Brisket.
Nope...never had Pastrami either. I *MIGHT* have tried corned beef, but not in my adult life. Having served it before (on St. Patty's Day) when I cooked in a restaurant isn't that more "wet", when served with cabbage anyways, compared to this smoked brisket?
The brisket kinda looks like rib meat to me, minus the bones. Looks less fatty too. But I'm not a huge rib eater
Wow...The brisket is a cut of meat. It’s quite cheap because it’s tough, like shoe leather. It lends itself to smoking because how high and long you cook it breaks down the internal connecting tissues making it just fall apart.
The other common way to soften is in a corned beef brisket. The meat is brined in salts to preserve it, giving it a bright red color. Boiled with veggies it’s enjoyed as a traditional Irish meal. Smoke it and it becomes pastrami, and it’s amazing!

Oooooo. I've fully decked out my WSM. I have this, along with the gasket kit. You should also by the lid latch, that's a prime mod! I also suggest getting a second coal rack so you can run them in a cross pattern to stop yourself from losing coals. I also HIGHLY suggest buying a lid for the water pan. If you don't have one already, a temp controller is a must. I run the Flame Boss 300 and LOVE it!Thanks to youtube and some Modelo's I got my first mod. The Cajun Bandit stainless door and latch for my WSM. I had taped shut the stock flimsy aluminum door. Wasn't really wanting a gasket kit, this unit is pretty nice.

Today, I'm smoking some ribs for torga and his gf (his first week in Seattle). It's raining like crazy here though so I moved the WSM up to my patio door and I'm smoking out the door. This experience has convinced me to buy some casters for the smoker so I can move it around more easily. I'll try to remember to take pics for you boys!
YUM!!!! I purchased this brisket knife, it literally has the most reviews for a 5-star product I've ever seen!I just did a 11lb brisket a few days ago, forgot to post here. I made a second grate for the bottom as I was using some post oak competition coals. Built the fire like Harry Soo and it ran for about 14 hours. I put the brisket on over night and had it for lunch. Turned out pretty good for a cheap packer style. I just ordered a good boning knife for trimming.. had been looking into the flame boss also. Will do a prime grade next time. Smoke em if you got em

Also, the Flame Boss is unreal. Been running it for 2 years and it hasn't let me down. They're new models are much nicer too.
