The neighborhood smells good.
Everyone might remember that last weekend I was in a grilling mood, so I made some slow cooked pork chops. Unfortunately that didn’t cure my need to grill. All week I kept thinking of what choice of meat I could slow cook for hours. Finally I decided on a nice beef brisket. It’s been cooking over a low smoky heat for 6 hours. It’s about ready to be pulled off and eaten.

I’m not meaning to gloat, but damn, it would be just down right inhumane of me to not share this!
If it makes you feel better, it's been raining with hail for the last 4 hours. Yes, I've been going out into that weather to make sure the meat cooked up right.
What? No, bad weather is not going to stop me from grilling.

sauce ruins well cooked meat darlin'
Posted by: armywifetoddlermom at September 8, 2006 09:43 PMand darlin, please tell me that you did not smoke with mesquite or hickory?
Posted by: armywifetoddlermom at September 8, 2006 09:44 PMOf course you use the sauce, that's what it's for. It only ruins the meat if you've drowned it for 20 hours.
No, I didn't use mesquite or Hickory, I used oak. Since I wasn't actually smoking, no smoker. It was charcoal with wood chips.
But sweetie, there's nothing wrong with use mesquite or hickory. It's all up to the individual's taste.
