This isn't your fault BBQBeerman! Usually lots of good discussions going on, just some people seem to get out of hand.HDmstng said:BBQBeerman said:Wow when I. Started this discussion I just wanted to thank Travis for a recipe he posted for Brisket that looked like it would be fun to cook and it was and turned out great. Sorry it turned into this I will make sure I do not thank anyone else for the helpful hints and recipes that I find here. Travis great recipe thanks again
Amen. I'm really sorry dude. I was just tying to get that guy to zip it, but man, did it go south quick. Had no idea that a pox would be wished upon others and their loved ones. Internet is a funny place but we are glad you are here. Sometimes it's laugh or cry.....I always laugh and move on. Hope you can too. It's only meat.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

How do you feel about Cen-Tex and me in love?

ok....enough of this conversation. Someone just needs to blow up this thread. I called Travis the King as part of being friendly (althoiugh the brisket did kick ass). He never called himself that. It got out of hand. We are all in agreement. Can we just start talking about food again. I am unsubcribing fron this particular post and will start a new one to discuss what was great about the brisket and a challenge that I had. Can we all buy into this?When was the last time you did something for the first time? - Zick Boulder, CO

Dear chrisnjenn:
Perhaps if that troll wished your family to die an antagonizing death that you might re-think your position. What that troll said is, what's the technical term, oh yeah, crazy! I'm sorry you got offended. I did not use any language stronger than PG.
As far as the juvenile stuff goes, I'm sorry you get offended. You know, why do you willingly give people the power to offend you so easily? Many people find that blowing off a little steam during their downtime is relaxing and therapeudic. I'm afraid that a BBQ forum in which butts, breasts and spatchcock are common terms used by people having a beer in their hand will get a little juvenile from time to time. Scolding us juveniles like a mother wagging her finger and tisk tisking only adds to the behavior you loath.
Sorry!

What the heck is an antagonising death? I like the cut of your jib sir!

So let me tell you about the brisket...It came Super flavorful extremely moist and everyone was raving about how grewat it came out. I did though have a couple of things that I would have liked to see better but let me first say what I did.
I started with a very nice 10 1/5 lb. brisket. I used the marinade by Allegro (Hot and spicy) A red Stripe Lager (had in fridge) and a Large red onion. Cooked at 300 for 15 hours and it was perfectly tender to the probe.
Challenges:
1) No noticable smoke ring (plenty of smoke flavor though) 6 nice chunks of hickory
2) Didn't slice well. It was actually falling apart to easily. I did use two bottles of the marinde and a full beer. Travis reccomends one bottle. Could it be that I had to much liquid in the pan?
Back to the food.

It fell apart from over cooking. There is a fine line between having a juicy tender brisket and having pulled beef. Practice will solve that. (psssssss, the "overcooked" falling apart brisket tastes better and lends its self to sammies better)Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here. -

Fred, sometimes you have to take the high road. Don't stoop to their level.
Several years ago, when I first lurked on the "Original" forum, several cowardly eggers would be afraid to post their opinion with their handle and use monikers to disguise their identity. It got so bad, the moderator had to eliminate guest IDs, and the nonsense decreased.
Many years before that, I cut my teeth at TVWBB, and Chris A runs a tight ship, which I respect. None of this would be tolerated.
Wish me or my family an antagonizing death, or threaten me, big whoop. You can find me in East Moline, IL. I'm in the local phone book.
It isn't a movie line but one of my favs...
You can't fix stupid

I never get a good smoke ring on the egg. I've played around trying to just for fun and very rarely do I ever get a decent one. I read somewhere (I think naked Whiz) that if you throw a few briquettes of kinsford in there it helps. Stike is probably rolling over in his footie PJ's over this ). Oh well, it sure tastes good though.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I gotta line that I try not to cross. And that line is don't be hurtful. Yeah, trolls suck. Pitchfork and torch wielding righteous witch burners aren't any better. I just wanna eat some good food.

Zick,I too, have had challenges with smoke ring and the egg. Always achieved more ring with the WSM. This is clearly a hypothesis, but may be due to airflow. I've done the take the brisket out of the fridge directly to the pit trick on both to increase time in the <140 smoke ring formation stage.
Braising does impact texture and bark. Same with the high heat method, foiling during the cook.
My preferred method is old school indirect. Burnt ends are my favorite dish, hands down.
