By the way, that brisket looks amazing (assuming that's what that was.) There's a famous steak marinade here in the Bay Area that uses Chinese fermented black beans, and turns the outside of the ribeye that color. I am assuming yours is that color from the rub and smoke. Anyway, looks like a treat!

Thank you, yes it's a brisket and yes the bark comes from my rub/smoke.

Nice bark and crust on it. Looks very tasty!

That brisket looks great.

Must really get round to doing a brisket this summer. Just have to buy that smoker first

Anyway.... Back to food...

Daughter's 2nd birthday. Excuse the crappy cell pics, I was taking them with one hand.

Good looking brisket Chris. I am a bit puzzled as to why I have not done one yet this winter.

Everyone needs at least one smoker.

Came close to ordering one last spring. No idea what went wrong.

*off to search for one again*

I feel like I still don't have enough ways to cook outdoors so I am looking at a wood oven. I can sort of use one of my smokers for that, but the heat is too uneven to bake bread easily. I do it, but it is a pain.

Henry: with enough motivation (and beer) you and a friend can build one in your yard for relatively low cost. I've done it before more than once, and there are publicly available plans a number of styles (slits for pizza, etc.)

Thanks. That one was the first one I've done since October. Just got out of the habit. Plus I was looking for a good local source. Tried a meat market down the road hoping they would be good. The brisket was, but the price wasn't. $10/lbs for Choice Angus, that's ridiculous. I'll drive 30 minutes to the south side of the adjacent town to save $3-$4 per pound on choice.
