I fed the wife's family last night.

I started the night before rubbing down the meat with:
16lb Prime Rib
1 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of garlic powder
1/4 cup of black pepper
1/2 cup of chili powder
1/4 cup of kosher salt
1/2 cup of worchestershire sauce

I mixed it all together into a paste, and slathered it on the meat and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Then I came home at lunch time and brought the smoker up to about 500 degrees using oak and mesquite and left it in there for 30 minutes. Then I took it out dropped my smoker down in the 220-230 range and smoked it for another 5 hours. About 1/4 of the meat came out medium well, 1/4 came out medium, and about 1/2 came out medium rare, which worked out great for the people I was feeding last night, the old codgers and the one over protective sister-in-law have to have it at least medium or more, which to me is a waste of a perfectly good cut of meat, but that is just me.

I also smoked some sweet corn, grilled some squash, peppers, and onions, threw together a nice colorful salad, and made a home made strawberry short cake.

All of that and I still didn't get laid.

Sounds good - never tried prime rib on the pit...

smokin beef brisquet sunday

Brisket has become a real favorite of mine. It is just stunningly good when done well - and cheap!!!

ya leave that nice layer of fat on don't ya?
fat up or down?
ok ta rub the night before?

Fat cap up and rubbed nice and heavy the day before. I get 'em all the way to 200^o F at a cook temp of 225. The last several I've done have been better than anything I've had in Texas, and that's really saying something. Melt in your mouth tender and amazing flavor.

Good luck!

How big is the brisket?

We have a Thursday scramble at the club and the chef smokes a prime rib out by some tee boxes...the smell is awsome and spreads all over the course...the one ingrediant you need is rosemarry at the end. Just throe some fresh on the heat and they will smoke on the rib. It is the best and I am jealous of oyur meal

better than anything you ever had in Texas? Who do you think started smoking Prime Rib? Texans, of course. LOL

All of that and I still didn't get laid.
