Yesterday was my most ambitious drum smoke yet. I separated a brisket, and the money muscle out of a butt. Commercial rub on the flat,,, liberal salt & pepper on the point,,, butt was light commercial rub and injection,,,, over Royal Oak lump with cherry chunks. All in all it was a success. The flat turned out a bit dry,,, but the point was,,, well,,,,, on point!! I served the MM medallions as appetizers and let me tell you,, they never stood a chance!! The pulled pork was a hit. We supplied buns, but most everyone just ate a pile of pork. One guest told us today that the pork was so good, she just dug in and didn't even think about buns. The star of the show for me however was the blackberry cobbler I threw on the smoker once the meat was done. I had my doubts at first,,, but boy the mixture of smoke and grease drippings formed a masterpiece. Sadly, I forgot to get a pic of it.
I thought I was going to have to use a second rack,, but it all fit on one.
There's a reason it's call "Money" muscle.
