OK. Warmed up with various chickens, turkey, ducks, steaks, chops etc, but
now I venture into the hallowed land of brisket on the Big Green Egg. 11
pound market trimmed, chili powder/black pepper/cayenne/cumin/garlic powder
rubbed - going on tonight for feasting tomorrow. I've done briskets before
on a 55 gallon drum smoker and well cured oak logs, with purty good results.

Any tips/advice/ridicule/yeller sauce recipes from the rsfcking bge masters
out there? Or any of you other idots?

Brisket is good, but ribs and prok dominate like FSU vs. VaTech.

THIS IS TEXATH BY GOD, NAD HERE WE BBQ BEEF. This is no Bill Miller, bone
dry, desperately needing sauce, destined for manwiches brisket, this is

(Although if HE Butt ever sells Boston Butt at a reasonable price, I will
stealthily toss one on the egg. $2.99/lb is not a reasonable price for an
item that is >75% fat and bone)

Yes.

I get my butts for about $1.89 a pound.

For $2.99 I can have steak.

Why'd you get it trimmed????

masters
> out there? Or any of you other idots?

Yep.

Use chunks, not chips.

Rub:
4 tbsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp basil
3/4 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp savory
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin

Mop (every 1/2 hr):
2 bay leaves, ground up (remove the stem, and only use the leaf)
2 tbsp of rub above
1 lb diced bacon, preferably smoked
1/4 c onion diced
1/4 c garlic minced
1/4 c celery minced
4 bottles beer
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp cider vinegar
tabasco to taste
worcestershire to taste
(optional: blend this shit to take out all the chunks)

Sauce 1:
4 tbsp olive oil, first press
1/2 c. onion
1 lb bacon diced (preferably smoked)
1/2 c. garlic chopped
60 oz. crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. molasses
6 tsp coffee
2 c water
1/2 c. dijon mustard
1/4 c. worcestershire
tabasco to taste (I might be talking about a half cup here, BTW)
dill, above rub, cayenne, cumin, basil, oregano, dry mustard, celery salt to
taste

(I vary the sweet (sugar and molasses) with the bitter (coffee) and hot
(tabasco, cayenne) according to my taste.)

Cook the onion, garlic, bacon for a couple of minutes. Add tomatoes and
simmer for 8. Add everything else and simmer for a half hour. Let this cool
and then stick in a blender and liquify that sumbitch. If you are a dumnass
like me, you will stick it in the blender hot, it will rise to the top of
the blender, scorch your hand and cause one hell of a mess.

Sauce 2:
http://bbqcentral.hypermart.net/amregions/texas.html

Tejas Blackjacks II and IV ....I vary the sweet, bitter and hot parts to my
taste.

This is false. I have overcooked briskets at 200. Of course, it helps to
have a small brisket and a forgetful memory.

Not days. Hours. Told you it was a small brisket (2lbs.).

Yeah, I know...but the butchers are mostly British here. The brisket here is
prepackaged vacupacked stuff from the US. The biggest one I've found is 3
lbs. 7 lbs would be prefect for me, because I go thru about that in a week.

I dunno. But if you don't prevent them, they will cut ribs into individual
ribs rather than leave a rack.

How about the other food products. Do they fill pastries with unsweatened
cream (ODL)? Do you have to shake up the milk before you pour it? Blood
pudding? Do you get Yorkie bars instead of Hershey bars?

1. What the fuck is unsweatened cream?
2. I donut drink sour milk, so I donut shake it. But, they have something
called "filled milk" which is a combination of real milk and powdered milk
and water. Once I learned about this, the funny taste of the milk went away.
3. There are Hershey Bars here, as well as the Cadbury bars. My empire for a
Charleston Chew.
