KEEPING 'THE HUSBAND BUSY'

Again, this is off topic....but probably not if you live the areas where BBQ is king. Personally, I don't care for it all that much, but 'the husband' is making it his mission, now that he has a big boy smoker.....to learn to make excellent BBQ brisket. 
  Here's his first attempt....complete with what they call 'bark'
Then the 'smoke ring'....the reddish layer just below the bark...oh he was a happy camper.  Although it was a bit too overcooked....after being on the smoker for 8-9 hrs. - that's not a surprise!  This is a completed process with many steps....he's ready to try again!!

Oh, it's an art for sure! Hope he "meats" his goals.

My son is the 'smoker' in this family...makes the best smoked meats!!! YUM...and I don't eat much beef but I will his! Glad your hubby is enjoying this type of cooking!

Every hubby needs a hobby that keeps them out of our hair! Hope this works for you!

Ah, my hubby also has a smoker and loves to do brisket (I'm not a fan), he leaves it on for 14 hours, but after the first several hours he wraps it in foil. It remains very moist and doesn't get overcooked and is amazingly tender. I prefer his smoked pulled pork or the ribs. It's a good hobby for them to have.

I'm not a fan of BBQ either Linda.....but happy he has something to play with. He smoked using our Big Green Egg but decided to get what the big boys around here use....he wraps his in butcher paper to keep it moist. Like learning a new sewing machine for us....he's still learning this monster.
