Finest kind. Extra flavorful and just enough chew; tender as a Mother’s love. Did about 5 1/2 hours at 205 degrees. Cherry and hickory...wrapped for the last hour or so.
 
Dang it guys, I don't have time to be smoking ribs right now, but I'm building up a massive craving with all the photos being posted.

7 1/2 lb. brisket, 11 hours at 225-250 degrees. Hickory, oak, little mesquite.
KC style house made rub. Life can be good....
Beans and corn on the cob to follow.
 
Polled pork, Montreal smoked meat, and ribs..... all smoked!

For Smoked meat;

5 Day cure in brine @ 1.5% with nitrates and pickling spice. Then, I rub, wait 24h, then inject, wait 24h again, then smoke while spritzing every 1h with Apple juice\stock. smoke for 6-8h @ 225-250F. Then sauce, wrap in foil, and let go for another 3-4H until it hits 195-200F. Let rest for an hour and serve.

FYI, I used to be a cook in fine dining... Glad I left the industry, but so glad I have the skills I do now.

Is that a Miyabi knife?

It's a VG10 Echizen. It's my cheapest, and one of my favorite knives.... The bolster gives it a nice weight, and I find VG10 holds an edge for frickin ever.

Longer than my White #2, white #1, Blue #2, and Super Blue steel knives.... *shrug*

...and thanks Jim! I have more food pics than anything else... maybe I'll make a thread.... :)

What cut do you use for Montreal smoked meat? I haven't had any since my visit to Montreal in 2002.

Doh- I realized the answer shortly after asking it.
