Default Separating a brisket, the point from the flat

For making Jerky, corned beef, Pastrami or Montreal smoked beef I use the flat and the point for slow smoking or pot roast. Tackling a 15 Lb. piece of fatty meat can be a little intimidating I followed these easy instructions.

The best information I found on how to split the point from the flat.

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/9...ting-a-brisket

From "Pit for brains" that name kills me

I have this on a printable PDF, PM me if you want a copy it was too big to post.

Default Thick Cut Strip Loin Smoke and Reverse Sear

I went to Sobeys looking for a small chunk of Salmon. Didn't have anything in the fish department that was interesting but they had AAA Striploin on special. The steaks on display were not thick enough for my liking so I asked if they could cut one 3 inches thick. The guy came back with a beautiful 2 inch steak. I felt a little bad sending him back for a 3 incher but that is what I did.

I cooked this beauty with the reverse sear method. A couple hours in the fridge with a light kosher dry brine then seasoned with a rub that I got from smoking meats forum. Set on the counter about an hour then into my Bradley set at 240 degrees. Just 35 minutes of Cherry smoke. While the meat was just under 130 degrees I pulled it and let it set for about 15 minutes. I finished it with about 3 minutes on a 550 degree wood charcoal grill.

I should have let it rest a bit longer but I could not wait. I thought of pictures just before I did my cut.

Served with oven roasted brussel sprouts.

I'll be in Edmonton tomorrow and need some Prague powder #2 to make some back bacon. Is there a place on the south side that carries it?

Default Briskets

I have two briskets that I won't be using as we are butchering again in December.

They are about 10 kg. each and vac packed. They came from a black angus open heifer and the rest of the meat was phenominal.

I will give them away to someone that will use them to corn or smoke.

I can meet in Innisfail/Olds/Didsbury. PM me if interested.

Just to add the meat is also inspected.

Did my first brisket the other day. Picked up a full packer brisket at WalMart in the U.S. Weighed just under 14 lbs before trimming. Rubbed it down with MEAT CHURCH HOLY COW. Put it on the PRIMO OVAL at 4:30 a.m. and was done at 3:30 p.m. Used chunks of oak for smoke. Wrapped in foil when I hit the stall at 168 degrees. Turned out awesome!! Was like butter, it was so tender and juicy. Made a big roaster of baked beans and also did a apple crisp for dessert.

Rick's Spice & Rub

1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp freshly cracked pepper
2 tbsp coarse or kosher salt
1 tbsp dried red chilies(more or less to suit your palate)
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Hungarian paprika

Place a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add the coriander, mustard and cumin seeds. Toast the seeds, shaking the pan frequently, until the mustard seeds begin to pop. Cool. Put into a spice grinder and grind to desired consistency. Store in an air-tight container or a lidded spice shaker.

Great on beef and any wild meat, whether it be sprinkled on steak or rubbed into a roast!!! Enjoy.

I use the atlas maple brine from Halford hides, then I rub it with maple sugar before smoking. Smoke with maple wood at 180 degrees till internal temp is 150

Default Cold Weather Tasso

Trying to rush some Tasso through the smoker this afternoon to be ready in the am to partially repay the very kind gesture of generosity of a AO member to the North.

Thought I had more Dried Meats in the cellar, but my adult sons visited last weekend and I just discovered the hit.

The Bradley is a creakin and a groaning to come up to temp.
Been an hour and still under 100F

Pics to follow once she starts to buck

Do you do anything special to get your Bradley up to cooking temperature?

I have an insulated pipeline blanket that I throw over it, that the "war department" cut, fitted, and sewed up with a "door flap" that closes with toggles, along with the required vent hole on the top. It heats up like a dam, to the point where are comfortable using it in -30C temps. out on the back deck to smoke or cook anything that we want.

Default Canning your bacon

There’s nothing like bacon and eggs when you’re out camping

Simple canned bacon procedure I use for trips with no refrigeration. Canned bacon has a shelf life of at least 5 years and if Rug’s prediction of a great bacon shortage coming soon it will be like gold during the zombie apocalypse
*
Lay out a sheet of parchment about 20” wide place a row of bacon along the top then cover with another sheet ˝ as wide as your bacon. Fold the bacon in half then roll into a tight bundle. Each jar will hold 1 lb. of bacon (if you half cook the bacon in the oven to remove some fat you can get a 1 ˝ lb in a jar). The extra paper at the top of the roll is stuffed into the jar and used for handle to pull the processed bacon bundle out of the jar.

[IMG][/IMG]

Push the bundle into a sterilized jar and process for 90 Minutes at 15 PSI. Always follow strict processing guidelines.

Nobody should ever go without bacon!
