First brisket and sides

Found a nice 'foldy' little 6 pound packer at Walmart yesterday. After a few Highland Park 14s last night I threw some stuff together for a rub and slapped it on, Saran wrapped it and let it sit overnight. Got the egg fired up at 6 and settled in at 250 dome. Baby packer on at 6:30. image Figured once the brisket was off the fire I'd do some baked beans, so after crisping up some local Tender Belly bacon I sautéed some jalapeños, onions and peppers in the grease - reduce, reuse, recycle.image. Mix those guys in with beans, molasses, ketchup brown sugar and some dry mustard and into tub. Brisket had several mini plateaus but hit 195 at 7 hours. FTCd the flat and cubed the point for burnt ends. Put those on with the beans and let em roll for 3 hours.image<<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5017260/uploads/FileUpload/fb/8eccb9f119e16e0e731d72bce3d757.jpg" /> A little crowded in there - I need to get a swing out rack or something. Ends crisped up nicely - sugary meat candy. imageimage He to do the cast iron cornbread in the oven do to a shortage of space - roasted jalapeños, creamed corn, buttermilk, cheese and good old Martha White. image Flat came out great - very moist and great flavor. Hit it with some Carolina slaw, onto a rosemary Fochaccia roll and down the hatch with some beverages.image Gonna do a big boy brisket next weekend - already looking forward to it...
