Last Nights Briskets

[slick4591]

I have a wedding reception on Sunday for 75 people so I started cooking a little early. Five briskets that have been out a couple of hours and cooling down so I can work them.

This is my testing procedure. Stick finger in fat cap and if it easily gives to the meat it's done.

At this stage the fat cap should roll off easily.

Tonight four pork shoulders.

Those look good. How long did you end up smoking them?

Nope, not now. That would be like drinking grease. :shock: I do get the eat the meat that doesn't make into the packaging tho. Thanks, Cindy! Got busy and didn't get the butts on, so they have to be cooked tonight.

You'll probably throw rocks at me, but I use a CookShack smoker. It's electric with digital controls. Set the time and temp and go to bed when you want because it goes in a holding temperature (140F) until you get there the next morning. Never thought I'd like it but it delivers a consistent flavor every cook and that's what's required when you're doing business. The only negative thing I can say about it is I don't get the smoke ring like wood.

Pork butts just removed from the smoker.

You know they're done when the meat separates from the bone easily and clean.

I like the Cookshacks. Never used one but I like the target and hold option. I'm working on a new build out of a commercial stainless steal refrigerator I intercepted before it got to the dump. I hope it will be a set and forget setup if I can figure out how to wire it and decide if I want gas or electric. Probably going to go with electric. I srounged a heating element and a thermostat at the dump too so I'm gradually getting there. How does the smokeshack generate smoke. Is it dust, pellets or bricks and how are they ignited?

Mine has two heating elements and in the middle of them are two wood trays that I fill with chunks. I've used chips, but I prefer chunks. Dust or pellets would also work, I bet.

Wedding went good, thank you, and I'm sure glad it's behind me. Now I can sell all my equipment and fully retire. :tiphat:
