Good lord rl_sd,  you have more seeds than me that's for sure. My first thought was to put it on the rack seasoned the way you want and go as low as you can with smoke for what you think is enough.  Transfer it to a  dish that will take the heat and crank it up to crispen and do the shut down method. If I remember you have no shortage of temp probes, the thing is is the start to finish time one needs to figure out. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

I cringed after buying my first packer brisket too..... thinking that I will season it similar to what I do on brisket... keeping it simple with salt, pepper, and garlic. The family ranges I. Taste from well done to rare, so probes are going to be important! All of the websites seem to vary from 30 to 50 min per pound. If I can get the center to the 130 mark and ends to 160, I should be able to find pieces to meet everyone’s taste buds. Will keep you posted

Thanks Mike. Couldn’t go wrong. The had strip loins for $4.99 as well! So you roll it on smoke for a while and then turn it up to what temp? Most of what I have seen says 225

yes or not much higher than that..  I mean you can go higher but you do have to watch the temp closer than..   good luck!!

That's a great price on that hunk of meat, even for select.   Super duper if it is choice.

Smoked an 8lb pork shoulder over night. Started it at 630 last night, smoked for 12 hours and pulled it at 200 and let it rest  covered in foil in the cooler. Just finished resting and here is final results:

Had some older venison roast that I trimmed and ground up into jerky. Used Spicy Cowboy mix from Curley's sausage kitchen. Got nothing but time lately.

Had a rain delay this morning so got started a little late. But this pork shoulder turned out great:

Nice looking bark!

First attempt at pork belly burnt ends. Cubed and rubbed and then smoked at 275 until internal temp hit 195. Sprayed them down with apple juice every  45mins and then smoked another hour or so in sauce. Left a few out in a separate pan in just apple juice to see how they would be and they ended up a little dry but edible. The sauced ones were basically meat candy will definitely try it again.

Looks awesome! Where did you get your pork belly from?

Costco one of the few places that hasnt jacked up prices around here on any meat or poultry.

The pork belly burnt ends look great!  Has anyone tried this with beef brisket?  I have used receipts in the past where you smoke the entire roast until at least 160, then pull it from the grill and cube like rundrave did with the PB.  Couldn't you just cube the brisket and smoke in a pan?  Just wondering if anyone has tried it, otherwise I may experiment this weekend.

Havent tried it myself but there are lots of recipes out there: https://www.meatchurch.com/blogs/recipes/brisket-burnt-ends

 

I may give this a go but I have had a hard time finding the small flat briskets lately. Just have a family of 4 and a big packer is way to much for us

County Fair in Dells has points and flats sold separately from the packers... Not much of a price different either ($0.40/pound), which is surprising considering the amount of fat a guy trims off of the packers

I know a lot of people that will separate the point from the flat and smoke separately. I would think that you would loose a lot of moisture if you tried cubing it first. Beef and pork are two different animals (pun intended). Best bet is  to smoke it whole until 160, let rest, cube, and then throw them in the pan.
