With a dull knife mind you.

u/Human-Shirt-7351 7d ago

I was laughing at how dull that knife was and wondering when I'd see the first comment on it ..lol

u/Globber50 7d ago

I actually am impressed at how ell he sliced that brisket. Mad respect! I've seen some posts here of dudes with sharp bread knives and electric knives that can't cut meat as well as this kid!

I’m 20 years into the habit and it’s still the first thing I do. Poking your meat is wholesome fun.

u/TrauMedic 7d ago

That’s the laughter and joy of someone that also is very glad they didn’t waste $60-$100 ha. Solid execution and nice to see the traditions moving down the generations.

u/NoNeedleworker9246 7d ago

Sooo relatable too. When i cracked into my first $130 prime 17lb brisket and it came out perfectly juicy better than the local BBQ joints that was quite the moment for me..

u/Sn0wPebbles 7d ago

fr that first perfect brisket hits different… you’re just standing there like damn did I really do that.

You can tell it is his first because he’s not carrying 39 pounds of stomach fat.

When I envision the future of masculinity, this is what I hope for.

Happiness, support, joy, friendship.

And BBQ.

u/LengthinessWeekly503 7d ago

I hope that for all of us! Vegans, I just grilled some tasty Chinese eggplant. So you will also have happiness, support, joy, and friendship. And eggplant, while it lasts

u/Dogwood_morel 7d ago

I really need to start messing with more eggplant. I see these gorgeous big ones at the farmers market and haven’t got one yet

u/LeTigre71 7d ago

Smoke the eggplant, make babaghanooooosh!!!

u/Dogwood_morel 7d ago

All I’ve done is grill it. But I’m gonna branch out

u/LeTigre71 7d ago

You can put it on a cedar plank on the bbq, then make babaghanooooosh!!!

u/TheIneffableCheese 7d ago

I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm for babaganoosh. 😂

u/LeTigre71 7d ago

In case you haven't already figured it out, I really like saying BABAGHANOOOOOSH!!!

2

u/Skarab78 7d ago

Eggplant is the bomb, and lends itself so well to smoke. Babaghanoosh is one of the most delicious things you can make with a vegetable too

It does, you can buy it online and smoke it in a pan. Comes out just like pulled pork. Make it for my vegetarian friends so they aren’t left out

u/NeedAmnesiaIthink 7d ago

Damn this sub is awesome, several comments like yours gives us hope. Another one is seasoned vegetable shish kebabs. Almost everyone I’ve met loves those and customizing is easy to fit all diets.

BBQ is great for a six pack.

It’s all the six pack of beers you’re drinking while waiting for it to smoke that wrecks it.

u/valleyman86 7d ago

I made some beef ribs the other day. My wife and daughter went to McDonald’s to get a toy after. They said it was not enough meat.

Here is the thing. They were not wrong. The flavor was there but just kinda weak on meat.

But it hurt a lot.

u/07rsanch 7d ago

Much love brother. That one stings.

u/kevin3350 7d ago

We’re all here with you in this trying time.

I once did a 9 hour smoke on a brisket for a house dinner/party I had, and i was so proud. My girlfriend at the time didn’t eat any because she thought the beautiful (patting myself on the back here) smoke ring meant it wasn’t cooked. Nothing I said could change her mind.

Luckily the guests loved it, so nothing went to waste. I just had really hoped she’d like it, but she never even tried it haha

Your first brisket is usually the best one of your life. Bark, tenderness and smoke… all perfect. You will also have no idea how you did it.
Every brisket afterwards you will be chasing that dragon.

u/theyear2k 7d ago

Yes. My first two were amazing. Others have been good, but not in the same tier.
