I love pastrami but not the salt laden leather sold in grocery stores.

brought the temp up to 150 degrees in the smoker

Hi everyone,
I hope I am posting in the right forum.

I recently bought three whole briskets on sale. I want to smoke one, do a Montreal smoked meat and make burger patties with one.

My question is so I grind the brisket or should I trim the fat prior to grinding and if so how much.

Thanks
Ken

I have come to decide that I prefer to fry rather than grill fresh sausages. I know that is a bold statement. The reason is that I find the casing on the sausage is less chewy when it is fried than grilled. The taste, moisture content, and texture is the same. Any one got any thoughts?

I fry em when I'm lazy and bbq em when we are dining . Seems like there is some truth to the possibility of tougher casings when grilled. Although I have had them come out crackly too.

Wow, my wife got me a brisket for my Birthday from Blacks in Texas. It arrived frozen and I must say I had my doubts. We warmed it up wrapped tight in aluminum foil @ 170 deg. I must say, I am way surprised. Tasted like it just came out of Q, real juicy. Naturally I will always want to make mine in...

Hey, hey sausagemaneric,
If you have a woman who thinks of filling your belly with Q on your birthday, then you'd better keep her! Heck, I'd even go out and buy HER a gift for YOUR birthday. She must really be a nice lady. Has she got a sister? :roll:

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

The wifey and I entered a bbq competition a couple weeks using a borrowed pit (I recently sold mine and my new one is not ready).

41 teams entered. We hit 4th place in chicken, 5th in ribs, and 7th in brisket. Enough for Reserve Grand Champion! We were excited considering it was only our 3rd...

Have any of you made a BBQ'd Meat Loaf? Here is my quick an dirty recipe.

2-lbs ground beef
2-eggs
1-8 oz can tomato sauce
1-tablespoon Tabasco
1-tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
1-1/2 tablespoon Zatarain's cajun seasoning
1-cup oat meal powdered up in a food processor
1 onion not minced but...

Yeah, we call it BBQ'd Meat Loaf . One of my son's buddies thinks it's about the greatest thing ever. It will pick up a nice smoke ring too. Best thing is it takes a half hour to prepare and 45 or so minutes to cook in the Weber. I just love frying up some of the left over in a cast Iron skillet.

I love potato soup and got the idea if I smoked some potatoes it might be better. I smoked the potatoes and some onions too on my Traeger pellet Smoker. It all turns out pretty good. This was our supper tonight.

This first smoker is the one affectionately known as the Buzzard Burner. I made this one in 2007 from 22 pipe. The horizontal portion of the pit is 48 long and the vertical is 36 . The firebox is 24x24x24 and is made from 1/4 steel plate. The buzzards are cut from stainless steel.

My recommendation on future rib cooks would be to remove the membrane on the back side so that your rub can penetrate into the meat as well as the smoke. :-)

I like making sausage, but BBQ is my first love and a sometimes side job for me. I do custom smoking for folks and cater a little bit.

From my calculations and records, I cooked over 800 pounds of meats on the smoker last year that could be declared BBQ. The largest cook was almost 200 pounds of...
