Happy Decoration/Memorial Day.....A great time to reflect on all of the folks that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country....and all the men & women who served and are still serving in our incredible armed forces.

what do you get your Veteran husband to say THANKS for serving our country on Memorial Day......a GYNORMUS grill....one that has a charcoal grill, propane grill, smoking area and a searing area.

FIRST....he has to put it together......

      SECOND.......he has to cut the hickory to put into the smoker.......this is the proper way........right?

THIRD....make the rub and mop/basting mixture for the brisket



FOURTH....put it on the grill....started at 10am

Brisket Rub Recipe:
1 Tbsp Salt
4 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
2 Tbsp Cayenne Powder
3 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp Dried Onions
1 Tbsp Fresh Garlic
2 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Black Pepper

Mix this all together......put the brisket on a piece of foil....rub worchestire sauce and stone ground mustard all over the brisket....then rub this mixture all over the brisket.....turn it over and repeat.

put it in the smoker at about 225 - 250 degrees for 8 hours....YES....8 hours.....you will need to Mop/Baste the brisket several times during the 8 hours....whenever it appears to be dry...about every 45 minutes or so....here is the Mop/Basting recipe.....

Mop/Basting Recipe:
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 cup Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp Fresh Garlic
1 12 oz can Beer
1 Tbsp Black Pepper

then take it out of the smoker and wrap it completely in foil and put it back in for 1.5 more hours....remove....let it rest for 15 minutes....cut and serve....YUMMY!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
