We are planning on making chili with smoked brisket.   I will smoke the brisket, and then we will put that along with everything else in a dutch oven and put that in the smoker and smoke that.   Gonna be incredible!!!

Sometimes I make a gumbo with left over bbq…. Chicken brisket or ribs seem to work well.

There wasn't a drooling icon otherwise I would have clicked that!  I have put smoked brisket in my cowboy beans once...it was amazing.  I also one time smoked my cowboy beans on the bottom rack under an unwrapped pork butt towards the end of the smoke to let all the drippings go in them...that was next level as well.

Rasta has had a reawakening.  Wasn’t using the PitDock very much of the last year with my wife’s disease, it sat down there lonely.  Since moving it onto the lanai for Milton….well I said to my daughter at dinner on Sunday….i think I’ve used this equipment more in the last five days than I have in the past five months.  She strongly agreed.

Doing a pork butt today.   And a few spare ribs just for meat for my beans.   Carolina style with some Carolina vinegar based bbq sauce.    What do y’all pull your pork at?   I used to do 203 / 204 ish but I think after it rests I don’t like the texture as much.  I’ve been pulling at 200 : 201 with a 2:3:4+ hour rest in a cooler.  
 

I would add a pic of the pork but I can’t post pics.

I’ve always shot for 195 with a long rest. Butts and brisket I rest overnight if I can.  

I snagged it at 201…. Maybe next time I’ll do 195     205 is a little mushy to me
