I created a 20 minute tutorial video (with help from Shelly) on my favorite way to cook SWEET PULLED PORK!

165° after 7 hours on the smoke at 225°, I put this brisket on at 11:30 PM last night before bed. Wrapping in foil now, in five hours this 11 pounder should be at 205° internal and perfect. I’ll let it rest about five hours before dinner tonight.

For me, this is a wonderful ingredient for a perfect weekend and Saturday.

Prep for tonight’s steak dinner with “The Blend” #steak #grilling #bbqlife #backyardBBQ

Leftover brisket, boiled cabbage and roasted broccoli. Only the second time I’ve cooked cabbage like this and I LOVE ❤️ ❤️❤️ it! Going to be one of my “go to sides” if / when I start BBQ catering! #CookWithWes #BBQlife #backyardBBQ

Saturday smokin’

Verily, I proclaim to thee, nothing more is needed for the perfect weekend, than simply these… #BBQlife #BackyardBBQ #brisket #ChickenWings #CookWithWes

A little backyard BBQ cooking this morning before school. Put these two 17 pound prime briskets on the smoker last night at midnight, after seven hours now (at 225° constant temperature) they 160° internal temperature and ready for the foil wrap. Should be done after school, looking for 205°. I love to cook and smoke brisket! #BBQlife #backyardBBQ #brisket #CookWithWes

Two 17 pound (untrimmed weight) prime briskets definitely max out the 700 in.² on the RecTeq RT/700 Bull pellet smoker! #BBQlife #BackyardBBQ #CookWithWes

(2/2) restaurant !

These are both 17 pounders, I prefer smoking 12 pounders. But these will work! #CookWithWes #BBQlife #BackyardBBQ

@ochaos I've been VERY pleased with the Kirkland pellets. I read somewhere they are Pit Boss pellets. I did a review video of them back in July 2022:

On the smoke… #CookWithWes #brisket #bbqlife #BackyardBBQ

Tri-Tip turned our pretty perfect medium-rare. After smoking outside for an hour and a half at 225°, I brought it in for a reverse sear on cast-iron in butter, about four minutes a side. Then rested for 15 minutes before under a foil tent. Internal temperature after the rest hit 135°.

These green beans might be the best I’ve ever cooked. Didn’t include potatoes since we are cutting the carbs. #foodie #CookWithWes #tritip #bbqlife #backyardbbq

With that mustard sauce I used in this cook last weekend, they’re really NOT sweet at all, but just perfectly savory… Especially with the sautéed onions. Reheated in the skillet on the stove, they have a bit of “blackened char”on the edges that also really adds to the flavor.

YUM! #foodie #backyardbbq #bbq #pulledpork #bbqlife #CookWithWes /2

Leftover night tonight with a roasted Brussel sprout bonus. Sautéed onions with leftover pulled pork, grated cheddar cheese, and Pace Picante Sauce on skillet grilled / sautéed corn tortillas.

These pork carnitas are SO good! The next time I cook barbecue for a group, I think I will serve my beef brisket along with these pork carnitas.
YUM! #foodie #backyardbbq #bbq #pulledpork #bbqlife /1

On weekdays, Shelly gets up at 4 AM to get ready for school. Today (Saturday morning) Moose decided to wake me up at 5 AM because it was time to go outside. I checked the pork butt on the smoker, and it was at about 155° internal temperature, so that’s close enough to the stall to wrap.

It’s the weekend, and time to smoke a pork butt! I bought this beauty, which is a bone-in 7.9 pound pork butt, for $19 at our local Harris Teeter grocery store this afternoon after school. At $2.50 a pound, this makes this a very affordable cook!

I’m letting it “set up” for 30 minutes with a binder of molasses and yellow mustard, and using a rub of just “Meat Church Gospel All Purpose Rub.” #recteclifestyle #bbqlife #porkbutt #porkshoulder #backyardbbq /1
