I just came in from checking on dinner and it'a almost ready.

Dinner tonight is a 4 pound Beef Brisket that was seasoned last night with Cajun Seasoning. It has been in the Wet Smoker at low heat (215°F) for the past several hours with plenty of woodsmoke.

About an hour ago it reached the desired temperature of 190°F. I have kept it there since then by turning down the heat to 200°F. In a couple of minutes I'll take it out of the smoker and bring it in so it can sit and rest for a bit.

Oh and this Brisket was just about perfect. It was nicely marbled with streaks of fat and had a nice cap of fat. Nice and thick.

Now that Fat cap is gone and the meat is nice and soft.

You know you're doing BBQ when you have to wear work gloves to get dinner off the rack.

An update.

Well the Brisket turned out just about perfect.

Tender, juicy and nicely flavored.

We didn't even bother to add BBQ Sauce, it wasn't needed.

I'll be doing a venison fresh ham well barded with apple smoked bacon on Wednesday. I was going to aim for earlier in the week but I Cajun fried a rabbit and need to use up the leftovers. So we'll have rabbit pie Sunday to give us more leftovers for the nights I get home late from the shop and then I'll have all Wednesday to deal with the smoking, the pasta Alfredo, the peas with baby onions and whatever I decide to have for dessert.

Tonight we're having a Provencal chard pie. It's one of HM's favorites and one of my signature dishes. Cook this regularly and she lets me do just about anything I want . . . just about.

My town has 25 take-away food establishments (or more if you count restaurants and pubs that will do take-away on request). I'm spoilt for choice of crap food.

Many years ago a good buddy was left in charge of his two (then) young teenagers while his wife was out of town for about two weeks. It wasn't hard to find out what he served the kids for dinner. All you had to do was pick up his phone and hit redial.
