Preparing for a New Year's Eve smoke

It's going to get almost to 40F tomorrow. So I think a smoked brisket would be just the thing to ring in the new year.

That's so not what I thought this thread was about...

Depends how you light it Dana

We're having a BBQ. I assembled the thing yesterday, so today will be it's first grilling. :) Looking forward to it.

Me too, but I can't say I'm disappointed. Loooove me some brisket...

It's cold, 33 deg. It's been wet, though it's clear now. I love brisket, but it's the hardest thing for me to smoke. It needs/deserves a long low smoke, and I just don't have the patience to feed my charcoal only smoker all day long to keep that naked iron cylinder at 200 degrees. :(

Where are the minions of yesteryear?

I think Minion is completely occupied with Megamind.

Oh ... you meant minions as in 'Minions! I need minions!'?
Sorry, we're fresh out.

In ~6.5 hours, yesteryear will be where we are right now. So you can probably still catch them; they can't have gotten far.

The whole smoked:kettle: vs smoked:fumette: was done up in a Bevery Hillbillies episode.


Smoked crawdads.:yum: You can probably get them in Beverly Hills now. The possum livers might still be hard to find though....:D

That was not the funniest smoked crawdad episode. Season 6 had Jethro teaming up with hippies to search for smoked crawdads. Found this clip so far [youtube]o63iLeAITKQ[/youtube]

P.S. No BBQ or smoker smilie......

The brisket was excellent, if I say so myself. Pics to follow when I have some time.

I was borned a poor half-Polish child in Butthole *cough* Beaumont, Texas. I started smokin' crawdaddies when I was but a wee pup, and it war good. Then, I growed up and moved away to the land of no crawdaddy smoking.

:(

Many a year'n passed. One day, my working buddy name-a Lysle (also borned in East Texas) got on that intarwebs and ordered hisself up some fresh-cooked smoked crawdaddies, shipped die-reckly overnight from Looziana itself. And then he invited me over to drink Tres Generaciones ™ and suck them heads with'm till they was all done up.

Mmmm. Mmmmm. Good.

Finally had some time to upload the pics.

Here's one of them. Right off the smoker. It looks like a meteorite. It's about to be foil wrapped for the resting period.

Not to be a drag, but isn't it unhealthy to eat burnt meat like that? :p:
