Thought I'd try the local butcher for a brisket and he got me this massive slab of meat...which was essentially brisket + extras attached.

So after some butchering I made a brisket loaf with the offcuts and then shoved them in the smoker.

Here's a happy snap of it cooking:

Here's the brisket loaf after 6hrs on its way to getting sauced and foiled:

Both should be ready in about 6hrs from the time of posting (Total of 18hrs cook time). Shove them in an esky for 5hrs of so covered in towels to rest and then enjoy.

Mate that looks awesome! 18hrs...can't beat it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

If anyone can get a hold of some cape grim beef ribs then snap em up.. Those things are something special after a slow cook

Yeah it was a raging success. Only the second brisket I've ever done and this one needed some serious butchering.

Final results:

225f to 240f. Low and slow to break down the sinews and fats. Turns a tough fatty cut into something spectacular :happy-partydance:

Edit, nice job frothy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yep somewhere in that range...I usually don't go above 105C...although this one I ran for 6 hours at 105C then sauced and wrapped, last 12 hours at 95C.

Well I've got my work Christmas show this evening, and mrs griff is stuck at home with the kids... Being a Caring, Understanding Nineties Type, as Mac put it, I thought I'd better chuck a little pork shoulder in the weber so she doesn't have to cook while I'm out on the piss :laughing-rolling:

It's only a couple of kg, so 8 or so hours at 100° should do the trick :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Not much, I apply smoke for the first hr theres a certain temp where the meat apparently stops taking on flavor... You don't want to oversmoke, I did a lamb leg a few weeks back that ended up tasting like burnt engine oil. :puke-huge: Your spent oak is a great place to start. If your talking weber, chunks are the go.

Yeah just getting idea's, been looking at cold vs hot, offside smokers bla bla 8-}

Don't really know where to start (on the cheap), I don't have a full size weber only the small rectangle one and the baby Q.

Was thinking about building one. :think:

Had a lamb in the Weber last night. Chucked in some hickory chips. Bloody amazing.
I can see a lot more of this happening. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Last weeks pulled pork was a huge success :handgestures-thumbupleft: in this special Xmas edition of my sometimes Sunday roast;

Yesterday I cooked a pair of chooks on the rotisserie over heat beads. Deeeeeelicious. Just kept squeezing lemon juice over them, and a shake of seasoning every now and then.

Today I'm in charge of the veggies, because the mother in law cooked all of the meat yesterday ( :angry-banghead: ) so I've got hasselback potatoes, melted onions and roast pumpkin and carrot all in the weber now 8-)
