Mike's BBQ Flat Smoked Brisket & Choice Short Ribs Mike's BBQ Flat Smoked Brisket & Choice Short Ribs
Talk about returning to BBQ 101 and smoky training wheels.My newest seven year old renegade student decided she wanted to learn how to smoke her first brisket and short ribs today. Seeing as how I'm only accustomed BBQ'ing whole hogs, 15 pound briskets and massive slabs of ribs - you can imagine my confusion at smoking a miniscule 2 pound baby brisket and four puny, albeit chubby, choice beef ribs.Anyway, Sunday, [yup. that's her real name - then again - i'm a girl named Mike - so who's judging?] did a fantastic job! Both meats were smoky, juicy, BEYOND savory, had great smoke rings, chars and burnt ends!Excellent work sweet baby girl! Your meats were delectable! I promise, any grown Southern man would have drooled and swooned over your creations! And, those boys do know their BBQ!P.S., when choosing a brisket - ask your butcher for his or her favorite pick. Otherwise you might very well end up with a really tough piece of expensive meat.Anyway, have fun and enjoy yourselves like SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY did! MMOBRIEN -

Mike's Smoked Peppered Beef Brisket Mike's Smoked Peppered Beef Brisket
Some of my brand new students [two weeks in to their lessons] insisted upon smoking their own briskets. Heh! They can't even fry an egg at this point. Anyway, as usual, I relented. While they smoked a 3 pound brisket - I smoked a 20 pounder for the holiday.Needless to say - THEY NAILED IT! Great work kiddos! Your brisket was not only juicy, but smoky and delicious as well! I tell ya. There's no such thing as a stupid kid .... 😆For best success, ask your butcher for the most limp brisket [meaning less connective tissue] the best marbling and fat on top he has. You'll also want a brisket slab that's equal sized on all parts for balanced smoking. MMOBRIEN -
