Alchemy, Texas style!

OK, so it's not drinks, but we talk food in this room too. Had a bunch of friends over for a club function today. The work started Thursday, the alchemy is using spices, smoke, and time to turn a tough hunk of meat into something delicious.

Start with an almost inedible hunk of meat...a brisket. Add dry rub:


Put it in the smoker:


Use only real wood, Texas pecan in this case. Thin stream of blue smoke = complete combustion:


Low and slow:


Meanwhile, the baby backs have been marinating in a cider sop:


Then, of course, add a dry rub:


Into the smoker with them:


Hours later:


Finally, burnt ends with goose sausage:


Perfect racks!


Shredding the burnt ends:


And slicing the lean brisket:


Nobody went home hungry!
