Now that is the kind of challenge I am talkin bout! Might have to make plans for Epic III if that is on the menu. :-)

Brother... I hope you can make it to Epic III, but I am NOT making ABTs for 50+ people. :-)

Back in the service we would fire up platter after platter of nachos, properly made, with a pepper on each chip.
And one day I just realized I couldn't take it anymore. I still love the nachos, but hot contests are out. I once
drank a bottle of Tabasco for 40 bucks. One day hot is no big deal and the next it's just impossible.:-)
[Reply]

What size bottle?

I only got $20 (or was it only $10?) for drinking a 2/3 full 12oz bottle of Tabasco (like the ones they sell at Costco). I'm thinking I got ripped off.

Nice!

I think getting "the hot seat" the next day is the thing that keeps me from eating the really hot foods anymore. I really like ABT's, and like to use poblano peppers for those who like great taste without the extreme heat. Remember kiddies pain is not a flavor.

So I finally got my photos uploaded....

I prepped and seasoned Friday morning. Decided to try "Mr.Brown" for once, on both cuts.
I re-seasoned/re-rubbed them Friday night, just before they went on:

Put them on late that night. 17 pounds of happiness!

Chugging away, as I splept.

Early morning checkup, water and coal restock. Lookin good!

End product, hours later.

It was good.
The bark had an 'afterburn' affect, but was perfect when mixed all in.


We found that my private mix is more 'savory' than this, and the wife wasn't a huge fan...
Not that we didn't eat pulled pork all weekend, she just preferred my concoction better.


I'm going to have to incorporate some sweet and hot combo into mine tho!

I always find I am more satisfied with my own mixtures. NO surprises, and yeah, maybe there is something missing, but what is in there is just the way I want it. I found something I WANT in my mix that isn't though, and if they make it I need to find it, and that is "powdered worcesteshire". I don't know if it even exists, but I smelled a rub that was perfect the other day, and that's what I think I smelled in it. So the search is on. :-)

3.76 Chuck roast. Came out really well. It's like poor man's brisket. Brisket use to be cheap, but not now, so chuck it is!
[Reply]

Really how much does it go for up in your woods?
[Reply]

Group buy? :-)
[Reply]

LOL.


McCormick brand spices sells powdered Worcestershire in tins about the size of the ground black pepper tins. Every supermarket here has had them for years.

Yesterday I stuffed 6 Poblano peppers with a bacon, cream cheese, sharp cheddar, onion and garlic mixture, wrapped them in bacon and smoked for 2 hours along with a 5# bone in boston butt and a beef brisket flat. This was my first attempt at brisket and WOW I loved it. I will be making this more often. I smoked them for 7 hours around 250° the last hour was wrapped in foil. The brisket had a final IT of about 180°.

Lookin good Bobby! :-)

I keep wanting to do a Brisket, but everyone always comments about finishing them in the oven' - at my Camper, there is no oven.

Need to try the Pablanos idea though.
